How to Repair Armor and Weapons in Fallout New Vegas
In general, there are several methods you can use to repair your weapons and armor. You can do it yourself, provided you have the right resources and a high level of Repair skill, or you can pay certain vendorssome Capsto do it for you, so let’s talk about these methods in more detail.
Manual Repair
Repairing items manually is more difficult but much cheaper than paying vendors. All you need to repair aparticularFalloutweaponor armor is a duplicate of that item. If you have two same weapons or armor pieces, follow the steps below:
Using this way, you can repair the desired item partially or completely, provided you have enough duplicates. If you have a bonus like Jury Rigging, it will be much easier to repair armor and weapons because now instead of duplicates, you can use any item similar to the one you are repairing.
Weapon Repair Kit
Another alternative to manual repair is to use theWeapon Repair Kit.In this case, you can use this consumable to repair only weapons. There is no such kit for armor, but there are somemodsthat add it. You can find a Weapon Repair Kit while traveling the world or craft it yourself. To craft a Weapon Repair Kit,you will first need to level upyour Repair to 50. If you have already done so, interact with the Workbench to craft this consumable from the following resources:
When you receive the Weapon Repair Kit, you can use it, and your main weapon will be repaired.
Visit the Vendors
The last and most expensive method to repair your weapon or armor is to find and interact with vendors. It’s worth noting that this will cost you a lot, and not all vendors can repair your equipment to 100%, as some don’t have high Repair skill.
In this case, it is best to use the services ofMajor Knight, a vendor located in Mojave Outpost. His Repair skill is maxed out, so you can come to him anytime to use his services. Furthermore, if you unlock the Confirmed Bachelor dialog option, Major Knight will repair any of your equipment up to 74%, but it only works once.
