The Sphere Tank monument in Rust, often referred to as “The Dome” or “Dome” can be a trickier monument to navigate due to its verticality and chances of you breaking your legs, however, if navigated correctly and if you’re mindful of what it holds it can become quite a treasure for easy loot and utilities. Similar to the loot found at the Sewer Branch monument, this mid-tier monument offers quite a lot of starter and mid-tier loot crates without the need for a card! Let’s go over this Sphere Tank guide to where this monument is, what you need, and how to navigate it!

Location

The Sphere Tank’s location, like many other monuments, is always procedurally generated on standard Rust maps. However, they generally spawn in the Temperate, or Arid biomes on a map usually 100-200 meters inland. Here’s what the Sphere Tank (Dome) appears like on the in-game map along with an aerial view of it!

Requirements

The Rust Sphere Tank is one of the few larger monuments that does not require much at all to complete. All you’ll need are the following:

Clothing – There is minimal radiation located inside of the Sphere Tank, even burlap clothing will suffice.
Bandages (Optional) – Though optional, we recommend bringing some medical items in case you fall and lose health.
Weapon (Optional) – Another optional item, however, it’s Rust, so having a weapon is always a safe thing to have!

While the navigation of this monument can seem intimidating it’s quite simple once you do or see it once! For your convenience, we recorded a short and concise video on exactly how to navigate the Sphere Tank!
