Animal Crossing: New Horizons (ACNH) - How to Get Rusted Parts Banner

This is a guide to collecting Rusted Parts, a DIY material in Animal Crossing: New Horizons (ACNH). To learn how to get Rusted Parts and where they can be used, please read on.

How to Get Rusted Parts

Get from the Recycle Box the Day After Helping Gulliver

ACNH - Find Rusted part in the Recycle Box
After helping a washed-up Gulliver retrieve his Communicator Parts, you can find a Rusted Part in the Recycle Box found in the Resident Services the next day.

This method is not very efficient because you can only receive one Rusted Part at a time.

Hold Communicator Parts and Wait for the Next Day

ACNH - Communicator parts turning into rusted parts

The most efficient method!

Alternatively, you can choose to keep the communicator parts in your pockets and wait for the next day. The Communicator Parts will turn into Rusted Parts. This is the most efficient because you can get up to five at a time (Sorry Gulliver!).

Dig the Ground with a Shovel

ACNH - Digging up rusted parts from the ground
You can very rarely find rusted parts by digging the ground on your island (not on the sandy beaches). This method is the least effective because of inefficiency and low probability of getting the parts.

How Do You Use Rusted Parts?

Used to Craft Robot Hero

ACNH - Use Rusted Parts to Build Robot Hero
You need 30 communicator parts to craft a Robot Hero. It takes time to collect this material, so we recommend visiting the beach every day to check on Gulliver. The most efficient way to collect is to hold all 5 communicator parts and wait for the next day.
