Bug report : Recon armor repair list missing unique recon armors

Post by **Question** » Tue Jul 21, 2015 10:40 pm

The repair recon armor and repair recon armor helmet formlists only contain the normal recon armor and the outcast version. They should also contain the unique recon armor that can be obtained from Sarah Lyons as part of the FO3 main quest (composite recon armor) and Christine's COS recon armor. Currently regular recon armor and the outcast version cannot be repaired with either composite recon armor or christine's COS recon armor.

No load order as i am looking at this in the GECK with only TTW.esm and it's dependencies loaded.

How is this a bug? They, like almost all unique items, use a repair list they aren't on. This prevents them from being used to repair their non-unique versions.

They were removed on purpose to prevent accidentally repairing low level armor with unique armor. This was done in TTWFixes too, it is common consensus that being able to do so is a bug. It does not prevent you from repairing the unique armor with lower tier armor, the repair lists don't work like that. This is mitigated also to ALL repair lists which had unique items in them.

If you feel that you need to repair low tier armors, with unique armors that is your choice and you can of course make such changes in your own bash/merge patch.

Yeah, I'm having a hard time envisioning a game world where you'd break down the composite recon armor or christine's CoS suit to fix an off the rack recon suit.

Oh i didnt realise that was intentional. Since the composite armor is practically the same as the regular recon armor, i wanted to use it to repair the one i was already wearing (since there wasnt going to be much of a difference either way).

The composite armor has a sneak bonus iirc.

But yes, this is intentional, unique weapons and armors aren't on any repair lists, so its a bug if you find one ON a list instead of not on it.

Closing now.

Thanks for the bug report.

Unclosing this just to mention that Composite Recon Armor is not a TTW or FNV item, it is cut content and can't be acquired without console commands or mods that add cut content.
