Craftable repair kits

Every repair kit you can make in your hands on Chernarus and Livonia, and the fastest way to a Tire Repair Kit.

Updated

On Chernarus and Livonia you can make your own repair kits instead of hoping to find them. There's no bench involved: every kit is crafted in your hands by combining two items.

How to craft them

Put one ingredient in your hands, then combine it with the other in your inventory (drag one onto the other, or use the craft option). Recipes with a number, like 10 Bones or 3 Rags, need that many in the stack.

Every recipe

Making a Tire Repair Kit

Three of the recipes chain together, so a Tire Repair Kit takes a little planning:

  1. Make two Epoxy Putty: 20 Bones and 2 Disinfectant Alcohol in total.
  2. Make Duct Tape from 3 Rags and one of the putty.
  3. Make the Tire Repair Kit from the Duct Tape and the second putty.

Where to find the ingredients

  • Bones and Lard come from hunting: skin animals with a knife.
  • Rags come from cutting up clothing with a knife.
  • Disinfectant Alcohol is medical loot. Screwdrivers, Pliers and Hammers turn up in sheds, garages and industrial areas.
  • Tanned Leather comes from tanning animal pelts.

Tips

  • Keep a few bones and rags in your base. They're the base of half these recipes.
  • Repair kits are separate from the ZM Workbench, which crafts tools and gear at a bench.
  • Sakhal doesn't have these recipes.
