While progressing through the campaign in Jagged Alliance 3, your items and weapons will lose durability. This reduces their overall effectiveness and thus it’s essential to repair the items you’re using.
To repair items and weapons, use a merc with a high mechanical skill and find the Repair Items option within the Operations tab. As long as you have enough Parts available, your Mechanic will start repairing the selected items.
In this guide, I will explain how to repair items and weapons in Jagged Alliance 3 and showcase how to get Parts.

How to Repair Items and Weapons in Jagged Alliance 3
To repair items and weapons in Jagged Alliance 3, follow these steps:
- From the map screen, select Operations (hotkey: O).
- From the right side, select “Repair Items”.
- Select one or two Mechanics – always select the merc with the highest Mechanical skill attribute in your squad (adding a second Mechanic will speed up the process).
- Choose “Pick Item” (hotkey: P)
- Select the items and weapons you want to repair.
- Select “Start” (hotkey: S)
Keep in mind that each item will take multiple in-game hours to repair. Additionally, each item will cost Parts to repair, depending on its current condition.
You can see your available Parts on the left side of the screen, while the required parts for repair will be showcased on the top right, after adding the items you want to repair.
You can queue multiple items for repair and you’ll see the total Parts cost and repair time on the top right.
How to Get Parts in JA 3
To get Parts in Jagged Alliance 3, players will need to scrap weapons or gear that they own.
To do that, navigate to your inventory (hotkey: I), right-click on the weapon or item you want to scrap, and then select ‘Scrap’.
This will destroy the item completely and give you parts in return. Keep in mind that the number of Parts you’ll get will depend on the durability of the item. An item with 80% durability will give more parts than the same item with 40% durability.
Alternatively, players can find Parts during a mission while exploring Hidden Stashes. There is at least one Hidden Stash on each mission and it can easily be found by your mechanic.
These will award Parts, Chips, Steel Pipes, Lenses, and more.
Wrapping up
To summarize, players can repair items and weapons in Jagged Alliance 3 by navigating to the Operations tab and then selecting Repair Items.
With a merc with high Mechanical skill and enough Parts available, they’ll be able to repair any items and weapons that they want.
