Thread: Anyone seen their weapon spontaneously nerf itself?

I have really no idea what forum to post it in.


I have a used scout blaster. I liked it, because it was made with krayt parts, and had a good damage slice. So max the damage range was like 100-250.


Then, one day I examine it, and the condition is 100/877, and the damage range is about 40-90. I repair the gun, the repair works fine (833/833), and the damage range is about 50-100.


Things that happened between when the gun was doing full damage and when it started to suck:



  1. I flew to a new planet

  2. I disconnected and reconnected

  3. The gun's condition dropped a little

Any ideas what happened?

IDIOT ADVISORY : I am not 100% sure of what I'll said, it is just the result of many chats with Weaponsmiths. If it is not accurate, avoid flames, please.


For what I understood, your weapon is going to lose stats if it goes under 25% condition. You can still try to repair it and recover lost stats. But it can also lower the stats for ever OR destroy the gun, simply. Repair kits have some rating on them, I'm still not sure of what it do. Btw, there is still a chance to damage weapon a bit with stats or destroy it.

I think Weaponsmith have better repair rate but to be tested (not a very quick test if you ask me).

It will lose stats as the durability goes down, and unfortunately repair does not help most of the time. I had a 200+ max damage scatter to go down to CDEF stats after a while. When repaired durability was maxed but max damage was under 50.

That's not really comforting.

Plan and simple you waited way to long to repair your weapon.


1. Always carry a weapon reapir kit that is 97% or better on you.


2. Keep tabs on your guns condition


3. NEVER let it drop below 25% otherwise you start getting loss in stats...



If you follow these 3 steps your gun will last you a long time...mine havs earned me almost 3 million xp and has a max dmg of 343 (fwg5) still...its condtion max is 475 now and i just keep repairing it around 50% lost and it only loses 25 max condtion, but stays at full power. Hope this helps.
