Utterly Mad

In the next update, I believe it will have more of a durability on the tools you use instead of a certain number of uses. The next MISERY update will also allow you to take apart busted guns to try and recover usable parts. It's meant to mitigate the problem of having tons of nearly useless guns and not being able to repair them. Look for alunes stashes. They are all over that first area, are a bit tricky to find (you won't ever earn their location from completing tasks) but some of them are filled with high value loot and perfect condition weapons. A hint on a stash that isn't aluns, up behind the power plant in the fenced in area is a stash with a mint condition stechkin APS. Not an amazing pistol, but not trash either. It will carry you though if you take care of it. You'll need to go through the teleporter nearby to get into the fenced area and you can also walk to the other area from inside that fenced off section after you have the maps.

Also, if you think boars are bad then watch out for snorks. They will fuck you up sideways to sunday.
