[[Weapon|Weapons]] have to be properly maintained in order to be kept running. Two statistics affect the majority of firearms: '''Durability''' and '''Reliability'''. Melee weapons and certain launchers may only have '''Durability'''.

[[Weapon|Weapons]] have to be properly maintained in order to be kept running. The '''Condition''' stat determines in what shape they are and how functional they are. The '''Max Condition''' stat sets how many Condition points a weapon has at 100.00% Condition. The higher, the better. Condition divided by Max Condition = Condition Percentage. The percentage determines the level of degradation of that weapon, and any corresponding effects.
-
= Basics =
+
Weapon condition does not degrade with normal use - it is normally reduced from rolling critical failures. Therefore, the more a single weapon is used, the more chances it has to lose condition over time, and therefore need maintenance.
-
The '''Durability''' and '''Reliability''' stats are important as they affect each other, as well as the behavior of the firearm. A badly maintained firearm will be less accurate, or critically fail more often, until it finally breaks or ceases functioning.
+
Certain weapons do not have a condition statistic (it may be listed as N/A). These weapons have infinite durability; they do not degrade nor need repairs.
-
Durability determines the "life" of a firearm, and Reliability, the "endurance". The more a firearm is durable, the more punishment it can endure before losing accuracy and finally breaking. The more a firearm is reliable, the more it can endure being continually fired without cleaning or maintenance before it starts failing more often and finally locking up.
+
Underbarrel grenade launchers and bayonets (including integrated ones) have a condition statistic, and therefore may require maintenance as well.
-
The cleanliness of a firearm is also important to determine how much each subsequent shot will degrade the firearm. Even if a firearm has low Durability, if it is kept clean, it will function without losing condition. If the inverse occurs; an unclean, badly maintained firearm will be battered and damaged much harder at every shot than if it was clean.
+
== Firearms ==
 +
Firearms falling under 60% condition start becoming less and less accurate. If the condition of a firearm is depleted to zero, it breaks down and becomes completely unusable. Normally, 0% Condition weapons cannot be repaired, unless the Contestant takes it to a workshop and pays an extra fee (informally known as the "broken weapon" fee), or possesses a Gun Repair Kit and has Skilled level or higher in Repair skill.
-
The Contestant must keep his/her firearms clean if he/she wants them to live a long life and not lose their condition.
+
Between 60.00% and 100.00%, firearms may be repaired with either Gun Cleaning Kits or Gun Repair Kits. Under 60.00%, only Gun Repair Kits can be used.
-

* 100.00% - 90.00%: Excellent - 100% condition is referred to as ''Brand new''.
-
Durability is the '''max condition statistic''' of a firearm, representing its structural integrity and its capability to withstand abuse, shooting while dirty, and unsafe loads. Two values related to Durability exist: the '''Durability Value (DV)''', and the proper health statistic, '''Condition'''.

-
Reliability is the '''max cleanliness statistic''' of a firearm; aka how much dirt, grime, residue, and other foreign materials can be lodged in the firearm until it completely stops working. Two values related to Reliability exist: the '''Reliability Value (RV)''', and the proper health statistic, '''Cleanliness'''.
+
Melee weapons falling under 50% condition start dealing less and less damage (both [[Pain]] and [[Limb Damage]]). If the condition of a melee weapon is depleted to zero, it shatters and becomes completely unusable. Normally, 0% Condition weapons cannot be repaired, unless the Contestant takes it to a workshop and pays an extra fee (informally known as the "broken weapon" fee), or possesses a Melee weapon Repair Kit and has Skilled level or higher in Repair skill.
-
Calculating a firearm's maximum Cleanliness points is done using the following formula:
+
Every melee weapon has a listed primary material (Steel, Iron, Wood, Plastic, Leather, Cloth, Rock, and Glass). The material of a melee weapon affects the costs of repair in a [[workshop]], and even whether or not the weapon can be repaired at all (Rock and Glass weapons cannot be repaired, including with MRKs).
-

-
As explained in the 'Basics' section, Cleanliness is the "endurance" of a firearm. A low cleanliness means a dirty firearm, full of grime and residue, with a higher chance to critically fail. If cleanliness depletes, the firearm is so unclean and caked in grime that it is impossible to fire anymore. If this happens, the firearm is '''temporarily unusable'''; it can be restored to a functioning state, but only if it is cleaned, at least partially. In other words, that gun is effectively "exhausted".

-
Cleanliness also determines how much every shot will degrade the firearm. If the firearm's cleanliness is kept high, durability loss per shot will be prevented or at least minimized. Inversely, if the cleanliness is allowed to fall to low values, durability loss per shot will be increased, sometimes dramatically.

+
-
Certain modifications (Barrel materials, accessories, projectile types) can affect the '''wear rate''' of a firearm. The wear rate is a '''multiplier value''' which can affect either condition, cleanliness, or both.
+
-
 
+
-
Wear rate can never be lower than '''0.25x''' (1 shot = -0.25 point) and is always rounded to the nearest quarter point, but it has no upper limit.
+
-
* If, after calculating the total wear rate, the result would be inferior to 0.25, it is treated as being 0.25.

==== Example ====
+
-
Assuming a Beretta M9 with 65.00% cleanliness shooting +P ammunition.
+
-
 
+
-
At 65.00% cleanliness, this firearm is '''fouled''', meaning that in normal conditions, it will lose 2 Condition and 2 Cleanliness per shot.
+
-
Among its other effects, +P ammunition has a '''2x wear rate'''. If this M9 is loaded with +P, the wear rate is doubled, meaning that at every shot, it will lose 2'''*2''' (= 4) Condition, and 2'''*2''' (= 4) Cleanliness.

Durability is the '''max condition statistic''' of a melee weapon, representing its structural integrity and its capability to keep its shape, remain sharp, and otherwise inflict the damage it is designed to deal.

-
Every melee weapon has its own unique max condition value, as well as a primary material (Steel, Iron, Wood, Plastic, Leather, Cloth, Rock, and Glass).

Weapons have to be properly maintained in order to be kept running. The Condition stat determines in what shape they are and how functional they are. The Max Condition stat sets how many Condition points a weapon has at 100.00% Condition. The higher, the better. Condition divided by Max Condition = Condition Percentage. The percentage determines the level of degradation of that weapon, and any corresponding effects.

Weapon condition does not degrade with normal use - it is normally reduced from rolling critical failures. Therefore, the more a single weapon is used, the more chances it has to lose condition over time, and therefore need maintenance.

Certain weapons do not have a condition statistic (it may be listed as N/A). These weapons have infinite durability; they do not degrade nor need repairs.

Underbarrel grenade launchers and bayonets (including integrated ones) have a condition statistic, and therefore may require maintenance as well.

Firearms

Firearms falling under 60% condition start becoming less and less accurate. If the condition of a firearm is depleted to zero, it breaks down and becomes completely unusable. Normally, 0% Condition weapons cannot be repaired, unless the Contestant takes it to a workshop and pays an extra fee (informally known as the "broken weapon" fee), or possesses a Gun Repair Kit and has Skilled level or higher in Repair skill.

Between 60.00% and 100.00%, firearms may be repaired with either Gun Cleaning Kits or Gun Repair Kits. Under 60.00%, only Gun Repair Kits can be used.

  • 100.00% - 90.00%: Excellent - 100% condition is referred to as Brand new.
  • 89.99% - 75.00%: Good
  • 74.99% - 60.00%: Fair
  • 59.99% - 40.00%: Worn (FT+1)
  • 39.99% - 20.00%: Poor (FT+2)
  • 19.99% - 10.00%: Bad (FT+3)
  • 9.99% - 1 shot remaining: Terrible (FT+4)
  • 0.00%: Broken (Unusable)

Melee weapons

Melee weapons falling under 50% condition start dealing less and less damage (both Pain and Limb Damage). If the condition of a melee weapon is depleted to zero, it shatters and becomes completely unusable. Normally, 0% Condition weapons cannot be repaired, unless the Contestant takes it to a workshop and pays an extra fee (informally known as the "broken weapon" fee), or possesses a Melee weapon Repair Kit and has Skilled level or higher in Repair skill.

Every melee weapon has a listed primary material (Steel, Iron, Wood, Plastic, Leather, Cloth, Rock, and Glass). The material of a melee weapon affects the costs of repair in a workshop, and even whether or not the weapon can be repaired at all (Rock and Glass weapons cannot be repaired, including with MRKs).

  • 100.00% - 90.00%: Excellent - 100% condition is referred to as Brand new.
  • 89.99% - 70.00%: Good
  • 69.99% - 50.00%: Fair
  • 49.99% - 35.00%: Worn (Damage x0.9, except for handgear)
  • 34.99% - 20.00%: Poor (Damage x0.8, except for handgear)
  • 19.99% - 10.00%: Bad (Damage x0.7, except for handgear)
  • 9.99% - 1 hit remaining: Terrible (Damage x0.6, except for handgear)
  • 0.00%: Broken (Unusable ; handgear falls apart and reverts to bare fists)
