You can reverse-engineer low-condition weapons at the ZX-1 Experimentation Lab and craft normal one.

Existing weapons may have different condition names so that you know it's an older weapon, such as: 'Refurbished Condition' and 'Damaged'.

There are different repair recipes for each style of weapon, including 3 types for melee.

Destroyed weapons can be only fired several times before breaking down completely.

Conditions are pre-set and weapons do not deteriorate with use.

Most weapons can now be repaired to 'Good Condition' once again (from any level of damage).

Each degraded level reduces the effectiveness of ALL stats by that number: damage, speed, recoil, reload speed, and vats cost.
