The Jury Rigger Perk

Post » Sun Mar 06, 2011 6:09 pm

I don't have the perk and have more caps than I know what to do with. All while raking up 7k-10k cap repair bills every 4-5 game days. Once at level 30 you'll have caps coming out of your ears. It's just that simple.

The perk is more geared for the lazy who don't want to be bothered with the repair system at all. All that stuff is effort. Then there is the cheap who wouldn't spend a single cap on a repair, even if they had several million, and break out in a rash when they *gasp* buy ammo. Jury Rigging is perfect then. Otherwise it's a useless svcker perk that sounds better than it turns out to be in the end. I restarted my first character because of the perk.

A much better reason to max out the repair skill is to make Hand Loaded ammo. Because Match Grade ammo is epic in the AMR and there is no such thing as 'too much damage'.


So i'm lazy because i don't have any weapons to repair my 12.7 Pistol? And i'm cheap because I have 2K caps?


Yeah. Jury rigging is DEFINANTLY for people cheap and bored..

What do you need to maintain your sniper rifle:
1. Earn caps to pay for 100 repair service.
2. Earn caps to buy low condition sniper rifles.
3. Find sniper rifles in the wasteland.
4. Make weapon repair kit.

1&2) Since if you keep making caps in casinos they will eventually ban you, and you have to spend time playing digital gamble with digital currency, the good old fashion loot 'n sell is still the best way to make caps. And somethings you just can't find low condition sniper rifles to buy.

3) We all know for some reason sniper is like missing in NPC spawning package; and there was like....3 of them being place on the game world.

4) This one is better, but sometimes tool boxes just have spatula and hammer instead of wrenches. Another problem is the weight material need for the kit weight like 10lbs.

What you call lazy, I call efficiency: instead of having to keep checking all tool box I encountered and hunt down duct tapes/wench when I go to a vendor, I use low value/weight loot as repair parts, and have high value/weight ration in my merchandise.

I got it less for weapon repair and much more so for Armor and clothing repair. There are several vendors that can repair to 100% and repair kits are easily-attainable. But those only apply to weapons.

Granted, as mentioned, repairing a power armor helmet with a baseball cap makes little sense, but it's certainly useful for the MANY types of clothing and armor whose counterparts are very rare or do not exist at all (Ranger Red Scarf Outfit and Ranger Veteran Armor are two examples that pertain to me).
