Dying Light 2 provides you with a variety of weapons. However, those hoping to use their favorite water pipe until the end of the game will be disappointed. You can repair weapons, but only to a limited extent.
What happens when my weapon breaks? A broken weapon can no longer be used. It will even completely disappear from your inventory. There will be no way to save it.
You can see how close your weapon is to breaking by its durability. In the menu, you get a numerical value when you look at the weapon. In the HUD, you only see a bar. If this is empty, your weapon will break and be irreparably destroyed.
How can I repair weapons? There is no proper repair function in Dying Light 2. Instead, your weapon will regain a bit of durability when you equip it with a modification.
To do this, open the menu and select the weapon you want to modify or repair. This only works with weapons that have mod slots, which you can recognize by the small circles on the weapon icon.
Press the corresponding button to modify and choose an available mod. You can craft mods, and you can find recipes with master craftsmen. When selecting the mod, you will see the effects, including the increased durability.

Tips for Repairing & Infinite Repairs with Korek Charm
What should I pay attention to? Repairing with modifications has some disadvantages that you should consider:
- You can only repair a weapon as many times as it has mod slots (empty circles on the icon).
- Once you have selected a mod, it cannot be removed or changed.
- Early weapons and those of low quality usually have no mod slots at all.
- Mods are often quite valuable since they require rare materials.
Since you can only repair weapons a limited number of times, you should not immediately slap mods on your favorite weapon – or at least not in all slots. Use the weapon for a while before you modify it.
This way, you can also find out if you even want to repair it at all. If you don’t like it, it may not be worth wasting mods on the weapon.
Which mod is worth it? Depending on your preference, you can add fire, electricity, or other elemental damage to your weapons. It depends on your preference and the area of use for the weapon, but it does not make a difference when repairing.
However, you should look for the durability mod for the grip. This permanently increases the durability of your weapon so that you can use it more often. Most artifact weapons have a corresponding slot. The mod can be upgraded up to 8 times with master craftsmen.
Alternatively, you can use the Korek Talisman to repair your weapons indefinitely, effectively making them indestructible. However, the talisman is only available through a hidden Easter egg:
Which weapons should I repair? For most weapons, a repair is not worth it. You will constantly find lower-quality weapons that you can swing around as you like. It is extremely unlikely that you will ever be completely unarmed in front of enemies.
Repairing is worth it mainly later on with stronger and unique weapons. However, you need to decide whether you want an upgraded weapon right from the start or if you want to repair it later.
If you want to take a middle ground, you can attach a blade mod immediately and use the remaining slots for repairs.
