Repair Kits were described in an Amazon Games release note as tier-matched items for repairing gear, but that description comes from an alpha-era update on January 18, 2021. It does not confirm how Repair Kits, durability, or crafting work in the live build today. If you still own New World: Aeternum, check the current in-game crafting recipe and item interface before relying on older instructions.

How Repair Kits were described

In its January 18, 2021 release note, Amazon Games said Repair Kits would repair items of a corresponding tier. The note described four Repair Kit tiers and said recipes had been added to many crafting trade skills. Its stated purpose included letting crafters package and sell surplus repair parts.

That is a historical description, not confirmation that the same kits, tier rules, or recipes remain in the current game. No current official source cited here verifies those mechanics.

What happened when gear reached zero durability

The same 2021 alpha-era note said a zero-durability item would remain equipped and usable, but with reduced performance: half gear score and no perks. Amazon Games wrote: “Now when an item reaches 0 durability, it will have significantly reduced performance (half gear score, no perks), but it will still be usable and no longer automatically un-equips.”

Star Trek: New Worlds - PC
  • An advanced 3D engine takes you right into the action on the planet's surface with a fully rotatable and zoomable landscape
  • Command a vast fleet of powerful combat vehicles and colony units
  • Construct your colonies from a variety of structures including the hydroponics lab, photon artillery launchers and many more
  • Choose to play as an officer in the Federation, as an honorable Klingon warrior or as a centurion of the Romulan Star Empire, and develop or destroy the frontier in over 42 unique missions
  • Each crewmember has a unique name and visual identity and will evolve and grow with each new experience, making them one of your most valuable resources of all

Do not treat that behavior as a current rule without checking the live client. The available current official information does not establish whether durability still decreases or what happens when an item reaches zero durability.

Historical Master Repair Kit recipe listing

A third-party New World Database entry for the Master Repair Kit lists the following requirements. The listing was crawled five months before the research date, and its current accuracy is unverified; it is not an authoritative current recipe.

Rank #2
Listed requirement Database entry
Crafting skill Engineering level 165
Crafting station Tier 5 Workshop
Repair Parts 300
Other materials Craft mods; the listing does not specify their quantity in the source summary

These are values from the New World Database Master Repair Kit recipe listing, not confirmed current requirements. Recipe inputs, skill levels, and station tiers can change.

How to check the live game before crafting or using a kit

Because current Repair Kit mechanics are not established by the sources available here, use the game client as the authority if you already have access. The following are checks, not a claim that a particular recipe or interface is still present:

  1. Open the relevant crafting station and search its current recipe list for Repair Kits. Confirm the displayed skill, station, and materials before gathering anything.
  2. Inspect the kit description and the target item’s details. Check whether the kit is available, what item tiers it accepts, and whether the interface explains its repair effect.
  3. Review the item’s current durability indicator and any warning shown at zero durability. Do not assume the 2021 half-gear-score and no-perks rule still applies.
  4. If the recipe or item is absent, or the interface gives different instructions, follow the current client rather than an older guide or database entry.
