Try to play the game before complaining about nothing and looking like an idiot.

You do know there's literally a perk that reduces weapon break speed and free repairs from simply picking junk up

"Yeah but it's a waste of perk slots becaue I WILL keep complaining, no matter how wrong I am" - OP

The weapon break becomes much less of an issue when you ramp up your per-shot weapon damage and get your loops setup. It costs very little to repair most weapons compared to how much scrap you can haul out of any given location and how much wear you might expect to generate on your weapon while clearing said location.

As long as you're not trying to kill bull sponge event mobs, any weapon should easily hold up long enough for you to be able to afford to repair it, on top of a tidy profit.

Note though that higher tech equipment is much, much more expensive to repair. Excavator armor, for instance, is pretty easy to get the salvage for its own repairs. The higher tier power armors need silver which can be a bit of a pain to find in large quantities unless you're specifically looking for it, or buy it off of npc vendors. Same with fiber optics bundles for some weapons.

Don't feel bad OP, the forum is being unnecessarily hostile and intolerant for some reason.

Yes, the game does maliciously 'encourage' new players into buying repair kits because the in game repairs with scrap isn't fully explained.

Repair kits were introduced about a year after launch and when they were added the crafting bench prompts were changed to make scrap repairs far more convoluted (seems the 'veterans' forgot this...).

Go up to a workbench and hit modify/repair [Space] then scrap repair [T] off memory but check the prompts at the bottom of the screen. If you have the White Knight perk in agility it'll decrease the cost of armour repairs.

There are also perk cards for increased durability of weapon or armour repairs and the new free ally Del gives a buff to repair to 130%.

repair kits are pretty trivial

I use the perk cards that makes my weapon feel like the HULKS stomach.
Isn;t it 90% less weapon breakage? (edit: i'll need to check that in game, i dont have those cards memorized)
Use that

some weapons become become far more delicate depending on the mods you add to them.

Sounds like some diabetic extra who googled "best places to farm" and keeps grinding on NPCs for his copium and addictions.

Thankful I'm not living their life to be honest. But you do you man and keep it up.

You're just being you...saying and doing things you would do. We get to respond to all that drama Kevin.
