Equipment
From Fallen Earth Wiki
Equipment refers to any item that can be Equipped in an equipment slot, as distinguished from items that can only be carried in inventory.
[edit] Durability
Weapons and armor need to be repaired after every few hours of heavy use. If you don't, the equipment will eventually become non-functional; guns stop firing, armor no longer protects you since it's so shot up, etc. Players can use repair kits, made by the appropriate tradeskills, to fix the degradation and make the items usable again. Different types of repair kits are needed for different items, such as an armor repair kit versus a ballistics repair kit, and items require repair kits of a comparable complexity to the item being repaired. For example, a basic ballistics repair kit can be used to fix zip guns, but not assault rifles.
[edit] Equipment Categories
Equipment is divided into several categories:
[edit] Equipment Slots
Players can have up to six weapons in slots at any given time, and can switch between them using CTRL+mousewheel to cycle through them or by clicking directly on the weapon on their character. This means weapon changes are not instantaneous, but rarely take more than a second or so. Changing the armor requires having the gear window and inventory open so you can drag armor from one window to another.
