📋 About This Mod
On higher difficulties the body armor can be destroyed in two hits. Constantly having to run back to the merchant for repairs (and switching in the Ada charm to make it more affordable) got annoying, so I made this mod to increase the vest's durability by 300%. To balance this huge advantage, repairs will be much more expensive.
Works in Separate Ways and Mercenaries as well! Of course since you can't get the vest naturally you'll have to either use a mod (search armor) or just add it with the Ultimate Trainer.
On request I gave the knives the same treatment and made options so everyone can pick and choose what they want.
Simply install one of the options with Fluffy like any other mod and have fun! :D
Known bug: knife durability only works after upgrading at least once!
If someone knows where the original, unupgraded durability values are saved please let me know so I can fix it! :)
Quadruples the durability of body armor and knives while increasing repair costs to match. A simple gameplay tweak for players who want gear to last longer without breaking the economy. 137 endorsements and 5,937 downloads show steady community interest.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Gets the job done – armor and knives last four times longer, which means less time repairing and more time fighting.
- Community-backed with 137 endorsements and nearly 6k downloads, so it's been tested by a decent number of players.
- Simple concept that doesn't overhaul the whole game – just tweaks durability and repair costs.
⚠️ Cons
- Only affects body armor and knives – if you wanted other gear to last longer, this mod won't help.
- Repair costs go up, so you'll spend more materials or caps to fix your gear – might not be worth it if you're short on resources.
- No compatibility info provided, so it might conflict with other mods that alter durability or repair mechanics.
For players who are tired of their armor and knives breaking too fast and want a straightforward fix. If you're a survivalist who values gear longevity over resource conservation, this is for you. Skip if you're looking for a comprehensive durability overhaul or if you're tight on repair materials.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Check if the mod is compatible with your game version – if it's outdated, it might not work.
- If you're using a mod manager, install it through that to keep track of updates and conflicts.
- Test the mod in a save where you have spare repair materials, since repair costs will be higher.
