How to Repair Your Pistol in Abiotic Factor
Players can repair the pistol with a Light Gun Repair Kit in the game. However, there is a workaround as well that helps to restore full durability to the weapon with a flashlight. When it comes to the repair kit, it can be found as a drop by taking down Order members. Although, this is a random drop. Additionally, it is possible to repair the pistol to its full health by following the steps below.
- When your pistol is at low durability, head to a crafting bench.
- Ensure you have a Flashlight and Duct Tape.
