Blight Light has a vehicle terminal. Unlock a vehicle once per wipe with Scrap, then spawn it next to you, pull it back to you when it is far away, repair it and put it away, all from chat or a menu.
Note: You need a vehicle rank to use the terminal. If
/vhsays NO ACCESS, you don't have one. Ranks come with VIP.
At a glance#
| Open the menu | /vh |
| Vehicles | 18: land, air and water |
| Unlock | Scrap, once per wipe for each vehicle |
| Unlock price | 50 to 500 Scrap per vehicle, depending on your rank |
| Fuel | Low grade fuel is loaded for you on every spawn (bikes and horses need none) |
| After a wipe | The terminal is locked for the first 2 hours |
How to get your first vehicle#
- Stand somewhere open, outside any monument. Boats need deep water close by.
- Type
/vhto open the terminal, or use the vehicle's chat command below. - Unlock the vehicle with
/<command> buy. For a minicopter that is/mini buy. The Scrap is taken from your inventory. - Spawn it with
/<command>, for example/mini. - Start the engine. That claims it, and other players cannot damage it. See Server Basics.
The unlock lasts for the rest of the wipe. After that you only wait out the cooldown between spawns.
Commands for every vehicle#
Each vehicle has its own command (see the table below). Add a word after it to do more:
| Type | What it does |
|---|---|
/<command> |
Spawns the vehicle next to you |
/<command> buy (or unlock) |
Unlocks it for this wipe |
/<command> f (or fetch) |
Pulls your vehicle to where you stand |
/<command> r (or repair, fix) |
Repairs it to full health |
/<command> no (or off, del) |
Despawns it |
You can have one of each vehicle out at a time. To spawn a fresh one, despawn the old one first.
All vehicles#
The spawn cooldown is your rank's base cooldown times the vehicle's multiplier.

Cars spawn at full health with engine parts already fitted. Higher ranks get better engine parts.
Vehicle ranks#
Your best rank decides your price, cooldowns and fuel.
| Rank | Unlock price per vehicle | Base spawn cooldown | Fetch cooldown | Repair cooldown | Fuel on spawn | Car engine parts | Vehicles |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| VIP | 500 Scrap | 10 min | 90 s | 3 min | 75 | Tier 1 | 10 |
| VIP+ | 400 Scrap | 9 min | 75 s | 2 min 30 s | 90 | Tier 1 | 12 |
| Elite | 300 Scrap | 7 min | 60 s | 2 min | 100 | Tier 2 | 15 |
| Premium | 200 Scrap | 5 min | 45 s | 90 s | 150 | Tier 2 | All 18 |
| Sponsor | 100 Scrap | 3 min | 30 s | 60 s | 250 | Tier 3 | All 18 |
| Nitro | 50 Scrap | 2 min | 20 s | 45 s | 300 | Tier 3 | All 18 |
Example: with the VIP rank a Minicopter costs 500 Scrap to unlock and then has a 20-minute spawn cooldown (10 minutes x2).
When you cannot use the terminal#
| Situation | What happens |
|---|---|
| First 2 hours after a wipe | Everything is locked |
| Inside a monument | Spawn, fetch and repair are blocked. Despawn still works |
| Out in the Deep Sea | Spawn, fetch and repair are blocked |
| Someone is sitting on your vehicle | Fetch is blocked |
| No deep water nearby | Boats and submarines will not spawn or fetch |
| For 2 minutes after fighting a player or damaging someone else's base | Combat or raid blocked |
Tip: Fetch has a much shorter cooldown than a new spawn. If your minicopter is across the map, use
/mini finstead of despawning it and waiting to spawn a new one.
Tip: Unlock the vehicles you actually use. The price is per vehicle, and it resets every wipe.
Virtual Garage#
The Virtual Garage stores the vehicles you own and gives them back later, anywhere you're allowed to spawn one.
| Open it | /garage |
| Spaces | 4 vehicles (VIP 8) |
| Store a vehicle | Stand within 6 m of a vehicle you own, in sight of it, inside a base where you're authorized on the tool cupboard |
| Take one out | Anywhere that is not a safe zone or someone else's base |
| Quick recall | /recall brings your vehicle to you: the one you have out, or the first one stored (/recall 2 for slot 2) |
| At the wipe | The garage is emptied |
It takes cars, helicopters, boats, submarines, bikes, snowmobiles and the siege engines. You can't store or take out a vehicle inside a safe zone, or inside a base where you are building blocked.
Other ways to get vehicles#
Vehicles you find or buy the normal Rust way still work. Start the engine to claim them, so other players cannot damage them.
