Workbench

This is the most important place in terms of repairing, improving and modifying weapons. Mainly because you can't do any of these things anywhere else! Workbenches are in safe locations - they are usually located next to traders in the so-called safe houses. We have included a list of all workbenches on a separate page of the guide.

How to repair a weapon?

Repairing is a very easy process:

1. interact with a workbench,
2. select weapons that are close to breaking,
3. hold down the repair button.

All you will need is cash. The more damaged the weapon, the higher the cost.

How to upgrade weapons?

When you interact with a workbench, you will see a special menu. In the Weapons tab, you will find every weapon that is currently in your inventory. By hovering over it, you will be able to repair it if it has been damaged, make its level match your Slayer's, and modify it.

Usually, you will be able to modify weapons in several ways. First, by installing a special modification that will cause the weapon to deal damage with fire, electricity, inflict bleeding, etc.

Adding new weapon perks will allow you to increase its power in a variety of ways. Remember, however, that you must first get them by completing quests or finding them in various parts of Hell-A. You will also need money!

How to craft items?

Crafting is only possible at a workbench. You can do this in the Fabricate tab. At the very beginning of the game, you will mainly be able to craft additional med kits. In time, however, you will find schematics to make ammunition. You will need:

1. gunpowder,
2. metal parts,
3. wire,
4. adhesive,
5. fabric,
6. chemicals.
