weapons deterioration overhaul

(1/3) > >>

seems ridiculous the the deterioration  on these weapons is quick even under desert conditions. plus repairing guns with nothing seems kinda dumb, sure you can fix jams but broken blow-back pipes or firing pin? deterioration should be separated into 2 sub-attributes: Mechanical damage and cleaning. cleaning is simple as dirt and sand getting into the barrel and firing mechanisms and from discharging rounds. a simple fix would be a gun cleaning kit composing of a oil, solvent, and clothes. you can probably make that with some fruit, nuka-cola and whiskey with a brahmin hide. the kit will repair your weapon all the way to 0 but will not repair mechanical damage. now mechanical damage is just as wear and tear as the gun is used more the weapon suffers especially from not cleaning. but in order to repair damage parts is you have to replace them. this comes from the fallout3 side that you need another weapon that is the same to repair it. now people will complain about that "Thanks asshole, now i need to buy another gun just to repair mine!" but considering most of the merchants are full of guns every day, seems a great way to burn some of those away. now this still requires the repair skill and now the need for the workbench(except for cleaning), normally i would see low repair skill to repair 10-20% damage then higher. now to make these balance i come to simple ideas: technically you should be able to blow out a lot of ammo before something in the gun actually breaks.weapons requiring greased magazines: the Mauser and the grease gun, would need to be clean earlier than the 10mm. comments to improve this?

Elmehdi:
Too complicated. Imo deterioration itself is pointless anyway - you die much faster than maintaining equipment becomes needed. 

hevdra:
true but actually it should be simpler, your weapons should have a longer life before cleaning repairs which would help people who didn't tag repair and end up destroying their weapon. mechanical repairs won't be needed for a while est. 100-200 shots with a side of chance for damaging the weapon?

Badger:
Yeah, I'm of the opinion that weapon deterioration doesn't add anything to the game. The only thing about it I like is how cheap deteriorated guns are to buy.

true i died faster than my 10mm smg but i believe the deterioration system could be reprogrammed to be a part of the game.
