Fallout 76 players have roundly criticised Bethesda’s plan to add Repair Kits to the game, saying it breaks a prior promise not to include pay-to-win elements.
Repair Kits, due to hit the game in the weeks following patch eight, come in two forms: basic and improved. Basic instantly restore one of the items in your inventory to 100 per cent condition. Improved repair one of the items in your inventory to 150 per cent.
These items will be useful because weapons and armour degrade in the world of Fallout 76 as they’re used and take damage, and repairing them requires returning to a workshop and using materials – some of which need to be farmed out in the world.
