1 / 3Built interface — Kit menu
Overview
Kits & Loadouts replaces a text command with a kit menu players can see. Each kit shows its items, the cooldown left and how many uses remain this wipe, so a player knows before claiming whether the weekly kit is ready. Kits are stored in oxide/data as JSON with item, amount, skin and container slot, which means a kit can fill belt, wear and main inventory exactly as you built it.
Cooldowns and uses per wipe are set per kit and can be overridden per permission tier, so a VIP group can have a shorter cooldown on the same kit without a second copy. Auto-kits give a starter loadout on respawn, or a different one on first join, and the plugin respects a max wipe uses count so a starter kit cannot be farmed by dying on purpose.
Admins build kits in-game with the editor: fill your inventory, run a command and the kit is saved with skins and slot positions. The editor also sets the cooldown, uses, permission and the icon shown in the menu. Kit data survives plugin reloads and the config marks which kits reset on wipe and which persist.
While you are subscribed, the plugin is rebuilt after each forced wipe and after Oxide, uMod or Carbon changes, and the item definitions are refreshed when Rust adds items. The plugin binds to the economy API from Economy & Shop System or Rust Plugin Vault when present, so kits can carry a price. Nothing is hosted by us.

Features
- Players see the kit
- The menu shows every item, the cooldown left and uses remaining, so claims happen when the kit is ready rather than by trial and error.
- Tiers without copies
- Cooldown and uses can be overridden per permission, so one kit serves default and VIP players with different limits.
- Built from your inventory
- Fill your inventory, save it as a kit and the slot positions and skins are kept, which makes loadout kits quick to make.
