Repair

The Repair skill allows you to maintain any weapons and apparel. In addition, Repair allows you to create items and Guns ammunition at reloading benches.

Repair is still good in New Vegas, for many of the same reasons. There has, however, been one significant change to how the skill works. You no longer need to get your Repair skill up to 100 to repair an items condition to 100… the higher your skill the more you repair when you combine an item, but if you have enough of them you’ll be able to fix an item to your heart’s content. Also, some weapons and armor are prohibitively rare, making fixes with Repair difficult (unless you have the Jury Rigging perk). You need a whopping 90 Repair Skill score for this, but there are other considerations, too. You’ll need 50 Repair to make Weapon Repair Kits (restores 25% of an equipped weapon’s condition, which is just great for fixing all that rare expansion gear you bring into the Mojave, or vise-versa), and you’ll need a 70 Repair score to get the Hand Load perk… which you can use to make .308 JSP ammo, which turns the Gobi Campaign Scout Rifle into the Finger of God.

The year is 2281 - two hundred years after the old world was eradicated by nuclear fire - and now the New California Republic has become powerful along the western coast of what used to be the United State of America. They’ve expanded east into Nevada, but across the Colorado river to the east a united army of tribals - Caesar’s Legion - have been organized under the guise of ancient Rome. War never changes, and impending conflict looms between the two sides, the prize being the Hoover Dam and control over the Mojave. Stuck in the middle are the residents of Nevada and the jewel in the desert; the city of New Vegas. But the mysterious overlord of New Vegas has his own plans for the future of the Mojave…

You are Courier six, an employee of the Mojave Express who has been entrusted with delivering a mysterious Platinum Chip. The delivery goes horribly awry, however, and after you are robbed and nearly killed for the package you were carrying, you must set out in pursuit of your attackers. Along the way you’ll have to navigate the political struggles between factions both large and small, making friends and enemies between the various groups as your actions in the Mojave influence your reputation. Ultimately, a new overlord of the Mojave will be crowned… but will you place that crown upon the brow of Caesar, the New California Republic, the mysterious ruler of New Vegas… or yourself?
