In Dying Light: The Beast, making sure your weapons are always in top shape is of the utmost importance. If you’re using a broken weapon, you’ll deal little to no damage, and that’s not an ideal outcome in any scenario. With that in mind, I’m taking this opportunity to teach you how to repair weapons in Dying Light: The Beast.
While melee weapons require constant maintenance, firearms do not, so don’t worry about the weapons that go bang. That’s the same for bows and crossbows. All you need to worry about repairing are your melee weapons.
Repairing Weapons in Dying Light: The Beast
Every melee weapon you find in Dying Light: The Beast has a durability meter, and that represents how much damage it can deal (and take) before needing to be repaired. Also, every weapon can only be repaired a certain number of times. There’s no way around that.
You can increase the durability of weapons by adding certain modifications to them that bolster how tough a weapon is, but it’s still only going to prolong the inevitable.
To repair a weapon in Dying Light: The Beast, you’ll need to open the weapon wheel and hold the requisite button to apply the repair. On Xbox, it’s X, and on PlayStation, it’s ▢. You’ll need scraps to repair any weapon, and the higher the tier of the weapon, the more scraps you’ll need to fix it.
It can quickly become expensive.
How to Find More Scraps
If you want to find more scraps in Dying Light: The Beast, you’ll need to search everywhere. You’ll find them in trash cans, on the bodies of defeated enemies, in tool boxes, and scattered haphazardly around Castor Woods with reckless abandon. It’s the most common piece of loot you’ll pick up.
You can also generate lots of scraps by dismantling weapons in your inventory menu, so don’t forget to do that with things you don’t want.
Can You Earn More Repairs For Weapons?
You can’t ‘earn’ more repair opportunities for weapons in Dying Light: The Beast, even if you enhance them. Enhancing them will boost the weapon’s stats and durability elements, but it’ll still break, and eventually, it’ll be damaged beyond the point of repair, and you’ll need to move on.
I’d hugely recommend enhancing weapons you want to keep levelling up, though. If you get to level 10 and you have a level 5 weapon that you cherish, you’ll find it’s not doing much damage.
It’s the end of the world; these things happen.
