Weapon maintenance and repair skill.
How to level it up
Repair weapons with repair kits.
A skill “gets tired”: if you train the same action for a long time, the XP for it drops to almost zero. After a pause of about 200 seconds the fatigue resets, and the first point after the rest comes with a 30 % bonus.
Radar and leveling
- Fewer deaths means more time in raid: skills like Perception and Endurance level up while you are alive and moving.
- Valuable loot highlighted by price and smart clusters speed up looting — Attention and Search level up faster.
