Rust Swim with the fishes achievement: jump from a plank wearing handcuffs and a hood. Single source: the published route fits a boat plank, equips a Prisoner Hood and has a helper restrain the player before the jump.
Set up before your hands are restrained
Place a suitable plank on the boat and equip the hood before asking another player to apply handcuffs through the normal surrender interaction. Then perform the jump from the plank and inspect credit. The primary handcuff description says the wearer cannot use or hold items, which makes preparing equipment first useful.
The checked Handcuffs recipe is 70 Metal Fragments at Workbench Level 2. The Prisoner Hood costs 20 Cloth at Level 1. These are item recipes, not a verified full boat/plank budget.
Exact qualifying plank, jump detection, event location, restraint timing and whether any death is required remain UNSURE. The public requirement names jumping; Hizzle does not add a guaranteed drowning condition. Plan the attempt with a helper and check the current controls rather than treating a blocked item action as proof the counter failed.
Planning and evidence
Other players: A helper applies the handcuffs in the checked route.
Hizzle's 3/10 difficulty is an editorial setup estimate. Completion time, current server eligibility, resets, shared credit and every missable exception remain UNSURE unless resolved above. No paid pack is established by this published route; item access and blueprint availability must still be checked. Console Edition has a different catalogue. Hizzle has not tested the method in-game.
