d0ct0rscarecr0w Posted July 30, 2011 Share Posted July 30, 2011 so like an idiot I kept going to specialists to have my guns repaired which can cost thousands of caps. but recently I've discovered you can make your own weapon repair kits (which repair the weapon you have equipped a little bit) the ingredients are very common. First you need 50 repair skill, 1 duct, 2 scrap metal, 1 scrap electronic, 1 wonderglue, and 1 wrench. to make one which will heal at least 20% of the weapons quality. scrap metal, scrap electronics, and wonderglue are found pretty much everywhere. Lots of wrenches can be found in the REPCONN test site basement. and duct tape can be stolen from Novac and Primm. also every 3 days the crimson caravan and Mick and Ralphs stocks pretty much every single one of these items. Still not sure what to do about armor though. Anyone got any advice? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McGoogles Posted July 30, 2011 Share Posted July 30, 2011 Still not sure what to do about armor though. Anyone got any advice? Get the Jury Rigger perk and you'll be able to repair your best armor with your weakest armor (assuming they're the same type of armor). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nevander Posted July 30, 2011 Share Posted July 30, 2011 I usually just pay the thousands of caps to have it repaired to 100%, since I had around 900k caps (using the Vikki & Vance caps glitch a long time ago) and now I am down to a little over 300k. With only one DLC left, 300k caps should suffice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stewie Griffin2 Posted July 31, 2011 Share Posted July 31, 2011 Aside from the fact that I like her in a fight, Veronica can really come in handy for this reason. A lot of times, you can find all of these items together when you're out roaming the wastes, having her with you allows you to convert them on the spot into repair kits and save all of your valuable loot. I still use Jury Rigging, but theres no substitute for the weapon repair kits when it comes to value. The total value of the items needed is about 7 caps, most any gun you find to repair your better weapons are worth at least twice that much. FWIW, I very rarely allow vendors to repair my equipment. The only time I really ever did was while playing through Old World Blues and the Sink was broke and I still had thousands of caps-worth of stuff left to sell.

R3D DRAG0N 94 Posted August 1, 2011 Share Posted August 1, 2011 If you have dead money you can keep using those Sierra Madre chips they give you in the machine, the weapon repair kits are very cheap. I'm hoping in the next DLC they bring out a clothing repair kit or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Irish Godfather Posted August 2, 2011 Share Posted August 2, 2011 The easiest way to repair the weapons and get the jury rigger achievement is just pick up a shit load of the same guns. Go into the pip boy, go into the weapons selection, so if u have like 3 magnum 45 handguns. you can fix the one gun with the other two guns and right there you got two gun repairs toward jury rigger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once you get to a higher level, the weapons you're finding are much more valuable than a weapon repair kit or, especially, the items used to make it.

I was spending a ton of caps to keep repairing my unique weapons which could cost up to 3000 each at only half quality. Even with Jury Rigg combat armor and remnant armor is still a problem to fix. I haven't found anything cheap I can substitute in. The helmets are really easy cause you can just use glasses which are cheap and abundant.
