Repair armor, weapons and tools at a Repair Station

The October 12 support list says Max Durability Decay does not affect vehicle parts. The newer October 19 patch 1.5.15.0 explicitly reports fixing that vehicle-setting fault. Check your installed version and actual setting before using the older exception. The patch does not establish an armor repair rate or restore durability already lost.

Kingy’s success check is that the same item is back in your inventory with the expected repaired durability and the displayed materials consumed. Record that result rather than treating placement of the station as a completed repair. No exact material count, power budget or crafting duration is verified for the current build.

1. Find and research the Repair Station. PC launch guides place it in the Iron Products research group; the Maintenance Journey includes this research step.
2. Use the construction tool to place the station in your base, or inspect an accessible existing one. The current Maintenance data lists constructing or interacting with a station.
3. Check the station’s circuit-power requirement against the base supply before starting.
4. Interact with the station, insert the damaged equipment and read the materials requested for that item. Supply the displayed shortfall.

5. Start the repair using the current prompt. After it completes, retrieve the item and compare its durability with the value recorded before the repair.

These are source-based checks, not a confirmed remedy for every disabled button. If all displayed requirements are met, retain the exact error, item name, research state, mode and build for a report. Do not assume that ordinary equipment rules cover unique items or consumable schematic licences.

The community Maintenance page identifies version 1.5.3.3 and a September 22 update. Alongside the equipment task, it lists Welding Torch vehicle repair and Recycler objectives. Inspect the active Journey after repairing your item; this page does not claim the whole quest is finished or that completing it first is required to use the station. The data is a research lead, not an observed Xbox completion.

Game8’s June 2025 guide says repairing gear reduces its maximum durability. Compare current and maximum durability separately, and record the mode and custom settings before applying that old rule to a new save. This guide gives no universal decay percentage or number of repairs an item can survive.

Funcom’s October 12 known-issues list records the earlier Max Durability Decay vehicle-part fault; patch 1.5.15.0 reports fixing it on October 19. Neither source establishes an armor repair rate. Vehicles use welding-wire repair; use the vehicle guide for their safety and recovery limits. No current Xbox armor protection values, stillsuit bonuses or complete equipment list is established here.
