Protection
| Damage type | Reduced by |
|---|---|
| Bullet | 25% |
| Arrow | 25% |
| Slash | 20% |
| Blunt | 20% |
| Stab | 20% |
| Bite | 20% |
| Cold | -50% |
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: 32 Cloth, 10 Leather, 4 High Quality Metal. A half worn one costs half as much.
- Condition lost per repair
- 20% of maximum
- Blueprint needed
- Yes
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 | 25 Leather, 9 High Quality Metal, 4 Sewing Kit | 5s |
| Barrel recycler40% back | 20 Leather, 7 to 8 High Quality Metal, 3 to 4 Sewing Kit | 8s |
| Powered recycler75% back | 37 to 38 Leather, 13 to 14 High Quality Metal, 6 Sewing Kit | 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.
Tech tree
On the workbench 3 tree, 7 unlocks in, reachable after MP5A4.
No scrap price on the tree itself: every node ships with its cost overridden to -1 and the fallback is not recoverable from the files. The research table price above is a different number and that one is derivable.
