Rust duo raid roles checklist

A simple duo raid role split for boom placement, counter-watch, sealing, and loot movement.

Short answer

A duo raid works best when one player owns the raid path and one player owns safety. Without role clarity, duos waste time, miss counters, and lose loot during the breach.

Role	Primary job	Backup job
Boom lead	Place boom and call next target.	Track remaining sulfur.
Security	Watch counters and flank angles.	Carry seal materials.
Loot runner	Move high-value loot early.	Call stop condition.
Both	Know exit and bank route.	Avoid tunnel vision.

Checklist

Agree who places boom before leaving base.
Keep one player watching during every breach.
Move loot in waves, not only at the end.
Have a shared stop condition.

Example

If the boom lead is breaking a garage door, the second player should not stare at the door. They should hold the flank and prepare seal materials.

Common mistakes

Both players looting at the same time.
No one carrying seal materials.
Switching boom types mid-raid without recalculating cost.
