Scavland Weapon Repair & Durability Guide

Quick answerLearning how to repair weapons in Scavland follows a clear three-tier maintenance hierarchy after Update 0.7.0: (1) Gun and Armor Repair Kits can now be used regardless of how damaged your equipment is, removing previous minimum condition lockouts; (2) Glue and Gun Lube can be applied starting from 80% durability (previously 85%); and (3) Cleaning Rods and Field Repair Kits can be used from 70% durability (previously 75%), with Update 0.5.169 also removing the Gun Lube requirement from basic field tools. Furthermore, Update 0.7.0 increased durability across almost the entire arsenal—many rifles such as the 63 Dragoon, Mikhail 47, and Mikhail 50 now last 20 shots per point (up from 10)—while lowering hard-jam chance at 10% durability from 45% to 33%.
