Essential Guide to Weapon Repairs in Stalker 2: Heart of Chornobyl

Players must locate Technicians in settlements to restore weapon durability, a critical mechanic for survival in the Zone.

Weapons and armor in Stalker 2 degrade over time, with reduced durability leading to malfunctions like gun jams and weakened stats.
Technicians, found in major settlements like Zalissya, are the only NPCs who can repair weapons and gear in exchange for in-game currency called coupons.
The first Technician players encounter is Lens, located near Warlock's Bar in Zalissya, who provides repair services through the Upgrade menu.
Repair costs vary depending on the item's rarity and condition, making it important to prioritize which gear to fix, especially during early gameplay.
Unrepaired items below 40% durability cannot be traded, adding another layer of strategy to managing resources and equipment in the game.
