Current durability and maximum condition

Equipment loses current durability through use. A weapon can perform normally until it reaches the breaking point, so remaining shots matter on long contracts.

Common field parts restore usable durability but often reduce maximum condition. Specialist kits are more valuable because they can repair a category while restoring maximum condition.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Why did maximum durability go down?

Many common repair materials restore current durability while reducing maximum condition. The item description shows that trade-off.

Can one repair kit fix everything?

Most repair materials are category-specific. Universal or unusual options may exist, but verify their current 1.0 description before using them on rare gear.

How do I repair weapons in Quasimorph?

Open the item's repair action, inspect the accepted material and condition change, then use only enough supply to keep the weapon dependable through extraction.

Should I repair armor during a mission?

Repair when declining condition creates a meaningful survival risk and the material is less valuable than losing the run. Otherwise extract and preserve scarce supplies.
