How loot chance works

The chance that a freshly spawned container, or a killed NPC, rolls at least one Speargun. Container chances are before inventory limits: a full crate can discard rolled items, while bonus scrap drops beside it. Items can already be damaged; condition depends on the source.

Repair cost rules

A half worn item costs half as much to repair. 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.

What to know

  • Bring a weapon that fires underwater

    A shark can patrol a dive site. The speargun works underwater, making it an option for clearing that threat before you recover the loot.
