STALKER 2 Players Advised on Repairing and Managing Broken Weapons

Maintaining weapon durability is critical in STALKER 2, with Technicians playing a key role in repairs and upgrades.

Weapons and gear in STALKER 2 degrade over time, with yellow and red shield icons indicating damage and critical breakage, respectively.
Technicians, marked by a wrench icon on the map, are essential for repairing and upgrading items, with the first Technician, Lens, found in Zalissya.
Repair costs increase as item durability worsens; players are encouraged to repair gear before it becomes heavily damaged to save resources.
Broken weapons cannot be sold and are expensive to repair, making it advisable to unload their ammo and discard them unless particularly valuable.
Each major area in the game features at least one Technician, with locations including Zalissya, Rostok, and the Chemical Plant, among others.
