Surviving the unforgiving wastelands of New Vegas requires reliable weapons and sturdy armor. As you journey through this harsh world, your gear will face constant wear and tear, leaving you vulnerable.

How to Maintain and Repair Gear in Fallout: New Vegas
Ensuring your gear stays in top shape involves utilizing various methods to keep them functional. Whether it's manual repairs, crafting repair kits, or seeking help from vendors, we've got you covered with these essential tips.
Manual Gear Repair
Repairing your gear manually can be a cost-effective solution if you have duplicate items. Follow these steps to repair your weapons and armor:
- Access your Pip Boy.
- Navigate to the inventory tab and select the item you wish to repair.
- Enter the repair menu by pressing the designated key (R on PC, triangle on PlayStation, or Y on Xbox).
- Choose an identical item from your inventory to use for the repair.
By following these steps, you can restore your gear to full functionality, provided you have the necessary duplicates or the Jury Rigging perk.
Craft Weapon Repair Kits
For a convenient repair option, consider crafting Weapon Repair Kits for your weapons. These kits can be crafted using the following resources once your Repair skill reaches level 50:
- Wrench x1
- Duct tape x1
- Wonderglue x1
- Scrap electronics x1
- Scrap metal x2
Once crafted, these kits can be used to quickly repair your weapons on the go.
Seek Vendor Assistance
When all else fails, visiting vendors for repairs can be a reliable option. While this may be the priciest method, vendors like Major Knight in Mojave Outpost can offer high-quality repairs. Major Knight's maxed-out Repair skill ensures your gear is restored to its former glory, making him a valuable resource in your journey.
