Clothing Slots

Every wearable item in Rust occupies one or more equipment slots. Head, Chest and Legs each have two layers — a clothing layer worn underneath and an armor layer on top. Hands and Feet only accept a single item. Full-body suits replace everything.

How Layering Works

On Head, Chest, and Legs you can stack two items — one per layer:

• Bandana Mask (Head L1) + Wolf Headdress (Head L2) — bandana underneath, wolf headdress on top
• Hoodie (Chest L1) + Road Sign Jacket (Chest L2) — hoodie underneath, road sign jacket on top
• Pants (Legs L1) + Road Sign Kilt (Legs L2) — pants underneath, kilt on top

Both items contribute their protection stats. Layer 1 gives comfort/cold resistance, Layer 2 gives projectile/melee protection.

Dual-Layer Items

Some items occupy both layers of a slot, meaning you can't wear anything else there:

• Metal Facemask — Head L1 + L2 (no bandana underneath)
• Coffee Can Helmet — Head L1 + L2
• Heavy Plate Jacket — Chest L1 + L2 (no shirt underneath)
• Heavy Plate Pants — Legs L1 + L2
• Snow Jacket — Chest L1 + L2

Multi-Slot Items

These items span multiple body slots at once:

• Bone Armor — Chest L1+L2, Legs L1+L2, Hands, Feet (covers almost everything)
• Bunny Onesie — Chest L1+L2, Legs L1+L2
• Wetsuit — Chest L1 + Legs L1 (leaves L2 armor slots open)
• Chicken Costume — Chest L2 + Legs L2 (can still wear clothing underneath)

Full Body

Full-body suits occupy every slot. Nothing else can be worn with them.

• Hazmat Suit — full radiation protection, most common full-body
• Arctic Suit — full cold protection
