How to Repair Weapons in Dying Light 2: 1 Minute to Learn Weapon Repair Techniques

Repairing weapons in Dying Light 2 may feel a bit tricky compared to traditional RPGs, as the game’s design intentionally prevents players from simply fixing any weapon indefinitely. Once a weapon’s durability runs out, it technically “breaks” and cannot be used in combat. However, there are creative ways to extend your weapons’ lifespans and squeeze the most value out of every favored blade, bat, or blunt instrument you find.

Here’s how weapon “repair” works in Dying Light 2:

1. Add Weapon Mods: The only method the game currently offers to “repair” a weapon is by installing mods. Each time you add a mod (to eligible weapons), that action partially restores the weapon’s durability (usually by 50 points per mod slot). However, once all mod slots are used, you won't be able to further repair that weapon.
2. Smart Modding: To maximize longevity, don’t add all mods at once. Instead, apply mods as needed whenever the weapon’s durability drops, so you can effectively “heal” it several times before it truly becomes unusable.
3. No Official Repair Kits: Unlike many survival games, Dying Light 2 doesn’t offer traditional repair kits or blacksmith NPCs for weapon restoration.

As an interior designer, I always appreciate tools that last and maintain their utility. That’s why, when managing my gear in games like Dying Light 2, I treat each weapon as a prized design tool: organize your inventory, prioritize high-quality “feature” weapons for unique encounters, and use filler or common weapons for standard skirmishes. The right tool for the right moment—that’s both good design and good survival strategy.

If you in enjoy organizing your in-game spaces and want to bring that same strategic, creative thinking into your real-world interiors, consider leveraging digital resources like Home Designer. These tools allow you to visualize, plan, and “mod” your living spaces with the same care you devote to your favorite gaming gear.

Tips 1:

Conserve Weapon Durability: Try to avoid using your best weapons on low-level enemies. Stick to weaker or unmodified weapons for common fights, and save your legendary gear for tough opponents.
