How to get it
- Worn by NPCs Shields
Repair
At a repair bench, fully worn: 60 Metal Fragments, 10 Cloth, 2 Leather. 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 | 150 Metal Fragments, 5 Leather, 25 Cloth | 5s |
| Barrel recycler40% back | 120 Metal Fragments, 4 Leather, 20 Cloth | 8s |
| Powered recycler75% back | 225 Metal Fragments, 7 to 8 Leather, 37 to 38 Cloth | 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.
