where is a number between 0 and 1: 0 disables degradation entirely, while 1 degrades at full speed. If this still gives you trouble and/or you just don't want to deal with it (which I can certainly understand!), it's also possible to reduce or disable weapon degradation by editing user.cfg in your game's install directory (creating it if there isn't already one) and adding the following line: You can also minimize the amount of repairing you have to do by opting to use melee weapons instead of guns when possible. Putting points into Maintenance skill will give you more bang for your buck from maintenance tools a certain level of Maintenance skill is also necessary to be able to maintain certain weapons. To clarify terminology, repair tools are used to repair broken/jammed weapons, while maintenance tools are used to improve the condition (0-10 rating) of weapons.
