However, since the laser rifle is held differently (more like a bolt/lever action Gun), you cannot use it to repair the laser RCW, nor vice versa.

For example, since the character holds the plasma rifle in the same way that they hold the laser RCW, Jury Rigging lets you repair them with each other, even though one is laser and one is plasma. A mostly complete list of all weapons that fall into specific categories follows.Ī simple way to tell what weapons can repair each other with Jury Rigging, is to look at the way that the character holds the weapon, in addition to the general type of the weapon (Guns, Energy, Explosives, etc.). The 12.7mm SMG is categorized as a two-handed gun, and therefore can not be repaired by the 9mm and 10mm SMGs, since they are one-handed guns. Some discrepancies arise with some other weapons though. The anti-materiel rifle can be fixed by weapons such as the hunting rifle, since they are both bolt-action. For example, an anti-materiel rifle cannot be repaired by a sniper rifle, because the sniper rifle is a semi-automatic firearm. Weapons are categorized, to some extent, by the method in which they are fired. Finally, almost all headgear can be repaired with any other headgear. Likewise, clothing can be used to repair each other within their category (light, medium, heavy). There are a total of thirteen categories of weapons that the perk will enable repairing within: unarmed, one-handed melee, two-handed melee, energy pistols, energy rifles (laser), energy rifles (other), energy weapons (heavy), one-handed guns, two-handed automatic guns, bolt/lever-action guns, miniguns, grenade launchers and missile launchers. The same goes for armor and clothing as well. For example, you can repair the rare Ranger Sequoia with the common. With this perk, you can repair items based on category instead of type.
