To loot quickly in Rust, you should enable hover loot, also known as quick loot or auto-loot. Hit escape and head into the Options tab. Go to Controls, and scroll down until you see the option Hover Loot. From there, bind a key you want to use to enable hover loot. Click on the button columns to attach a primary and secondary key to hover loot. Many players like to use an easily accessible button for hover loot, such as mouse4.
