Scavland weapon repair & jams

Keep the confirmed durability rules separate from the repair controls and jam thresholds that still need a current in-game test.

Patch-backed + open workflow

Short answer

Scavland has repair and weapon-maintenance systems, and the Day One patch says guns can explode below 30% durability. The public sources do not provide a complete jam keybind, repair-cost table, or universal jam threshold, so do not copy one from an unverified guide.

What is confirmed about weapons

The official store describes weapons that can jam and a repair / maintenance system. Update 0.5.169 adds a sharper safety boundary: guns can now explode below 30% durability instead of 50%. That is an explosion threshold, not proof of a separate jam threshold.

Needs verification

Low-risk maintenance loop

  1. Inspect durability before a bunker run.Treat a low-condition firearm as a risk signal; do not wait for an explosion or jam to decide.
  2. Bring the field tool your loadout supports.The Day One notes say Gun Field Tools no longer require Gun Lube; that does not define every repair recipe.
  3. Use the on-screen prompt for a jam.Keyboard and controller bindings can differ. Capture the exact prompt instead of publishing a guessed key.
  4. Log a failed repair.Record weapon, durability, kit/tool, location, mode, and build. “Cannot repair” is not enough to identify the rule.

Weapon repair FAQ

What durability is dangerous for a Scavland gun?

The Day One patch says guns can explode below 30% durability. That is the official explosion boundary; this page does not turn it into a universal jam threshold.

How do I clear a weapon jam?

Follow the current on-screen reload or jam prompt for your input device. The cited official notes do not publish one universal keybind, so a precise key claim needs a current in-game check.

Why can I not repair a particular gun?

Treat it as an open item-and-tool question. Record the weapon, durability, repair item, mode, and build, then compare with a second item instead of assuming the gun is permanently broken.
