Item repair

 is the process in which you can fix broken gear or weapons.

This can be done by opening the repair tab for the allowed items where you can select where you want to repair them and the desired points to be repaired.

Armors
Any gear that has armor points can be repaired by Body armor repair kit, Prapor, Skier, Mechanic each having a certain quality and repair cost. Any armored gear has a material with different properties listed below. Leveling up the loyalty level for any trader will increase the repair cost. Armor repair kits can be used after building the Lavatory level 1 and are improved by upgrading the Lavatory module up to level 3 and increasing the Intellect skill.

Repair method
Mechanic is the trader with the best repair quality having high repair cost, the Armor repair kit has 2nd best quality but is the cheapest option for most gear. UHMWPE/Armor steel materials have almost the same repair quality with Armor repair kits as with Mechanic making them one of the best options for this material types considering the much cheaper cost.

.* This value is true for most body armors/armored rigs, helmets and eyewear. Faceshields, additional armor and armored facecovers costs with armor repair kits are higher than with traders. Due to a bug regarding faceshields, additional armor, armored facecovers and eyewear which doesnt improve the repair quality when choosing any of the traders it is recommended to repair these items with Prapor to have the cheapest cost. Also because of this the specified items will appear not fully repaired and faceshields might still have their visual damage after repairing.

Material
UHMWPE/Armor steel materials have the best repairing efficiency, being 3 times better than aramid which is the 2nd best. Ceramic has the worst repairing efficiency for any armor/helmet with Glass being worse than it used only for some faceshields and eyewear. UHMWPE materials are one of the cheapest materials to be repaired with the Armor repair kit while having good material quality. Destructibility and explosive destructibility are only one of the stats used to calculate damage done to that type of armor material so it doesnt mean they represent exactly how good/bad any material is respective to each other.

Weapons
Weapons can be repaired with Weapon repair kit, Prapor, Skier, Mechanic. Leveling up the loyalty level for Skier and Mechanic will increase the repair cost while Prapor has no price difference on any loyalty levels. Weapon repair kits can be used after building the Workbench level 1 and are improved by upgrading the Workbench module up to level 3 and increasing the Intellect skill.

Repair method
Since repair quality has no big impact in the repairing process like for armors choosing the cheapest price is the best choice so the Weapon repair kit is the best in almost all situations except when current durability wear of the gun is low Mechanic might be the best choice.
