Is the repair arm worth it?

[Fregi]

Im just wondering if its worth keeping this repair arm i found by an event. I do not have scrap recovery arms.

Its not as bad as people make it out to be.

It's bad in easy mode and not so bad in hard mode because you get less scrap the harder the mode. Also if you in a situation where you rarely need to see a shop, it's almost like having and extra jump because you don't have to go seek out repairs.

But because you get less scrap, it's actually WORSE to have the Vampire Arm stealing your scrap.

Repair arm makes you need repair arm more so no thanks. I still like getting it as a reward because I can sell it. You can make a case to hang onto it in hard mode until healed then sell too because of the relative scrap tradeoff, but it's not a good augment and should never be bought.

Hull repair drones are more justifiable if finding one, since if you have a recovery arm you can heal w/o using a drone part, nasty.

Its only like 50 scrap if you buy it though and any ship can use it unlike Hull Repair. Can still technically save your run. Just for that its worth at least some thought to buy, even to hold on to all the way, if it keeps your run going.
