In Fallout New Vegas, the Jury Rigging perk allows to repair weapons and armor with similar weapons and armor. What does count as similar here? What are the specific restrictions on what counts as a similar armor/weapon and what not?

Best Answer

For the most part, a simple "if it makes sense" rule of thumb applies. For instance, That Gun can be repaired with basically any non-energy handgun. As a rule of thumb, if it uses the same type of ammo, you can use it to repair another weapon with a similar ammo type, along with a few special cases, like a Hunting Rifle with any lever action gun.

Similarly, Light Armor can repair any other Light Armor, Medium with Medium and so forth.
