Body damage at point blank with no attachments, on vanilla settings. Damage a second assumes the trigger held and ignores reloads.

Repair

At a repair bench, fully worn: 40 Metal Fragments, 4 High Quality Metal. A half worn one costs half as much.

Condition lost per repair

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

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, 2 unlocks in, reachable after Reinforced Glass Window.

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.
