How to get it
- Found in loot
Protection
| Damage type | Reduced by |
|---|---|
| Bullet | 60% |
| Arrow | 70% |
| Slash | 80% |
| Blunt | 80% |
| Stab | 70% |
| Explosion | 80% |
| Bite | 60% |
| Cold | -15% |
A negative figure means this makes you worse off, not better. Heavy metal gear is warmer to carry and colder to stand around in.
Repair
At a repair bench, fully worn: 6 High Quality Metal. A half worn one costs half as much.
- Condition lost per repair
- 20% of maximum
- Blueprint needed
- No
Rust stores no repair cost. The bench builds one from the crafting recipe: components are swapped for the first ingredient of their own recipe, then everything is charged at 20% and rounded up.
Recycling
| Recycler | Returns | Time |
|---|---|---|
| Recycler50% back | 15 High Quality Metal | 5s |
| Barrel recycler40% back | 12 High Quality Metal | 8s |
| Powered recycler75% back | 22 to 23 High Quality Metal | 4s |
A range means the last unit is a coin flip rather than a guarantee: half the recipe rarely divides evenly, and the recycler rolls for the remainder.
