Repair

Repair(REP)

Repair is a Dexterity subskill that allows to repair damaged equipment. Weapons degrade while using, armor degrade when taking damage. Implants degrade on runner death or on removal. This skill also allows repairing vehicles on the field without parking them in ASG and paying cash.

Item condition

Item condition is indicated by pair of numbers in the item window. The number on the left indicates the current condition. When that number reaches zero, item cannot be used (it's marked as 'wrecked' when hovered). The number on the right indicates the maximum condition. The repair process reduces permanently the number on the right by a set amount, indicated by the Repair skill and TL of the item, then restores the number on the left to the maximum. Once the number on the right reaches zero, the item is wrecked permanently and cannot be restored. To maximize the time you can use the item, repair only when the current condition is near zero.

Items

To repair items, you need Repair Tool of equal or higher TL of the item you want to repair. Items above TL30 also require Repair Lube present in the inventory.

Repairing vehicles require separate Cryton RRP-S52 Remote Repair Tool that need supply Cryton RRN-80 Remote Repair Nanites to function. This tool does not need Repair Lube to work.

Basic procedure

1. Open Processor window (F7)
2. Place the repair tool in the first slot
3. Place the item that needs to be repaired in the second slot
4. Press the START button

Maximum condition loss

With the Repair level equal to TL of the item, the maximum condition loss is between 4 and 5. The more the Repair skill, the less the maximum condition of the item will be lost. At the 90 points of difference, the loss is between 2 and 3.

Repairing vehicles

Cryton RRP-S52 Remote Repair Tool acts like a weapon. To use it, you need Repair skill of 80. Aim at the vehicle and shoot. Cryton RRN-80 Remote Repair Nanites will be consumed and part of vehicle's hp will be restored. This also can be used to grind Dexterity levels by damaging your own vehicle, typically a Rhino tank.
