Key Limitations of Fallout: New Vegas Weapon Repair In the world of Fallout: New Vegas, you may notice that weapon repair is limited due to features native to its game design. Weapons with out a Damage Threshold (DT) cant be fixed with any trader, leading gamers to depend at the Jury Rigging perk for preservation. This promotes resource management and forces the player to make better use of their skills.
Mechanics of Weapon Repair
Damage Threshold: Weapons that lack a DT cannot be repaired by merchants, creating issues with weapon durability over the course of the game.
The Jury Rigging Perk: This perk lets players repair weapons with similar items found around the game world. The catch: it has a high Repair skill (90), so players might not have easy access to them, depending on your build.weapon repair (ad)
Strategic Implications
The Repair skill also allows players to forgo merchants, providing a higher level of conjunction between weapons and less dependence on outside help.
The supposed requirement of keeping spare weapons for repair can create some inventory management issues, especially in hardcore modes where weight is a much bigger concern.
Community Perspectives
Other players maintain that Jury Rigging, while convenient and powerful in many situations is not ubiquitous enough to justify its hat status. Good ammo/resource management can frequently obviate the need for it after all.
For some this is seen as a continuation of the boon, allowing even more weapon durability and efficiency via unique/rare items at repair-at-item-cost method not in-line with other weapons.
