"The practical application of the Science skill for fixing broken equipment, machinery and electronics."
The repair skill allows you to fix damaged weapons and armor. See deterioration for more information about damaged things. It is also a requirement for some professions. Vehicles must be repaired regularly, too.
With high enough Repair, the character can Repair Becky's Craps Table in The Den.
Luck is of no effect when it comes to repairing something.
Note: Each character can read up to 10 Dean's Electronics Skill Books to increase Repair skill by 6 Skill Points per book.
Note: Maximum repair skill is 200. You can attempt to make it higher but it will go back to 200 and give you your points back.
Note: This skill can be used by companions, also with proper tools.
Repair skill:
- Doesn't require another item to repair
- 200% is max Repair, which is 95% chance for successful repair
- Failed maintenance only decreases max condition (as above)
- 5% chance to break your tools
- No cooldown
- Successful maintenance will repair an item to max condition, at the same time it will probably decrease overall max condition by:
- 3-5% if used with Super Tool Kit in active slot
- 6-7% if used with Wrench in active slot
- 8-10% if used with Tool in active slot
- 12-15% if used without additional tools
- There is a chance that max condition will not be decreased if you use tools:
- 20% chance if you use Super Tool Kit
- 15% chance if you use Wrench
- 10% chance if you use Tool
- You can find Oil Cans, a rare single-use repair tool that repairs an item perfectly without max condition loss. These are mostly used on rarer items since they are one-use only.
