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.

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.
