Fields

Field	Type	Description
type	string	Exactly 'Damage'
title	string	Short, human-readable name. Must not be empty.
titleTranslations	map | null	Per-language overrides for title, mapping a language code (like "fr" or "zh-CN") to the translated text. Players whose language has no entry (matched case-insensitively, no region fallback) or a blank one see title instead. null when there are none.
description	string	A blurb of 1 to 3 sentences. May be empty if the title is self-explanatory.
descriptionTranslations	map | null	Per-language overrides for description, mapping a language code (like "fr" or "zh-CN") to the translated text. Players whose language has no entry (matched case-insensitively, no region fallback) or a blank one see description instead. null when there are none.
amountRequired	integer (≥ 1)	How many points of damage the player must deal to the target entities.
cooldown	object | null	Optional pacing limit on how fast progress adds up: at most maxAmount units of progress count in any sliding window of windowSeconds. Absent means progress adds up freely. While the window's budget is used up, further progress is ignored and the player sees a countdown to the next available moment.
burst	object | null	Optional clustering requirement: actions only count when they arrive clustered, at least amount units within one trailing window of windowSeconds forming one burst. When present, amountRequired counts completed bursts instead of raw actions. Actions that age out of the window without completing a burst never count. Absent means no clustering.
conditions	map	Optional conditions that restrict when progress counts. Progress is recorded only when the objective's main requirement and all of these conditions are met. Use an empty map for none.
hideDetails	boolean	When true, hides this objective's in-game condition strip and details popup, so the description is the only explanation players get. Title, description and progress still show. Absent means false.
entities	string[]	Rust entity short prefab names, lowercase (e.g. bear, wolf, boar, stag for animals; scientistnpc_heavy, scientistnpc_full_any, murderer for NPCs; ridablehorse, minicopter.entity for mounts). Use the living entity's name, not its .corpse variant.

Notes

Caution

It’s highly recommended to add at least one target entity to the entities list. An entity can also be a non-living object that can take damage, such as a door, corpse, a vehicle, a dropped backpack, … Leaving it empty effectively any damageable Rust thing (living or not) gets tracked, which can be extremely CPU intensive since every single hit on any entity will get tracked.

• Progress increments by the total damage of each hit on a listed entity. An amountRequired of 500 means 500 HP of cumulative damage.
• Self-damage is ignored: you can’t progress by hurting yourself.
• Matched by the victim’s prefab short name.
• A kill also deals damage, so this overlaps with Kill on the same entity by design.
• Find the correct entity names to use in your contracts with the Getting item & entity names guide.
