When i repair my Service Rifle + (fully modded) it makes the weapon less repaired?, lets say it is 80% OK when i use a repair kit...after it is down to about 60%...if i repair it again with a repair kit it goes down to about 50% and so on and on??!

I read somewhere that it's a bug with the forged reciever upgrade. For some reason, the extra durability makes the repair kits restore negative item HP.

Yeah....the mod kit raises possible condition to 150% but the repair kit keeps trying to reverse it back to 100% or something like that...and it bugs out and won't go above 50%.

So essentially, if you have the bug, don't use mods that 'increase condition'.

Or don't use WRK to repair

OK, thanks for the headsup...Im going to try and edit the script for the repair kit an see if i can fix it.

In the case of the service rifle, it's so cheap to repair and so insanely durable, that you might as well just skip the repair kits. (IIRC, it takes 500 rounds to reduce an upgraded service rifle below 75% condition)

You can also just stealth kill troopers and keep the spares on a companion pack mule.
This is easy if you don't roleplay heavily, and do not have access to the GECK.

I changed the mod part (+ description text) that makes weapons more durable to something else, what i changed it to depended on the weapon and what mod it already had....it was only 4 weapons that had the durability modification.

My workaround for this is to buy or acquire a cheap non-modded version of the weapon you want to repair, use the repair kits on it, then use it to repair the modded version.

You know, what's weird is that you'd thing the forged receiver of a rifle like this, wouldn't increase it's durability, but instead make it automatic. I don't see how upgrading the (upper OR lower? ) receiver could increase a guns durability, unless the other one was REALLY beat up. Like, by REALLY beat up I mean survived 200 years after a nuclear war... oh wait.. >.> lol =P

LOL
Be cool if we could replace the barrel that has changed from silver to brown over these very FEW years.

Idea is that forged receiver is of better quality/more durable than whatever original one was ...like stamped steel receiver.

I suspect that someone at Obsidian noticed that the NCR wouldn't want a reflective combat weapon...and silver SO doesn't go with brown and tan uniforms. :whistling:

A number of the weapon mods don't work as advertised. When I finally got a sniper rifle, the weight-reduction mod was also available, so I tried it out. It changes the weight that is shown in the item description, but I noticed that my total inventory weight hadn't gone down. Dropping and picking up the gun confirmed that it still had it's original weight.

This might have been prior to the most recent patch--I haven't gone back and tried it again recently.
