How to unlock the Jury Rigger achievement in Fallout: New Vegas - Definitive Guide

Here's how I got this before completing the second main-line quest.

Loot everybody you kill or see killed. Pick up Varmint Rifles, 9mm Pistols, 10mm Pistols, and any other weapon you feel like. Armor wise, grab any Merc outfit, and if you find enough, Wastelander outfits work too.

The guns are repairable by exact copies, or, in the case of Specials, repairable by the lesser version. Any Merc outfit (at least any you will encounter through Level 4) can repair any Merc outfit, as is the same with the Wastelander outfits.

Press B to bring up your Pip-Boy 3000, and hit the LT or RT until you are on the items screen. The left analog stick will now control what you have selected (going up and down) and change the item category (left and right). On an item, you will notice in the top-right corner of the Pip-Boy screen is a set of 4 actions performed by a button on the controller. If you see the Y button lit-up (bright green in color on the default color), you can repair an item. Do this with every item you get, and you will knock this achievement out in no time.

A quick tip, for character creation: get Repair up to around 30 or 35 by the time you are level 3. This is what I've done with my characters, and it definitely helps (especially for this achievement).

Simple to get and I got this one before I even made it to level 3. Just simply repair your items every time you get one identical to the one you already have. e.g. If you have the Hunting rifle the you need another hunting rifle to repair it. If you have a special Such as the weathered 10mm pistol then all you need is the lesser of the model to repair or maintain it such as the 10mm pistol.
I ended up collecting 9mm Pistols, Varmint Rifles and the Powder Gang Armor and just repaired or maintained those until the achievement popped.

Edit: This can also help you get closer to "You Own Barter Town" Achievement.
Due to the fact that the better the condition of the item the more it is worth. Also Having a high Barter Skill can also make this achievement pop faster by raising the value of the items also.
Thank you Hirsute Dave for pointing this out!

Note: I have obtained this achievement on another account. It was compromised so I had to switch to another.

The above is also very useful for getting closer to "You Run Barter Town" - the better condition items sell for more so it's win-win :)

To make this simple and fast acquire the jury rigging perk after level 14. The requirements are on this page.

http://fallout.wikia.com/wiki/Jury_Rigging

Once you have that perk it allows you to repair weapons a lot easier by using similar weapons to repair. This will make the process go by very fast. I was able to get it in less than 5 minutes after getting the perk. I just made a save, repaired weapons till I got the achievement, than reverted back to the old save.

Went from 0 repairs to 30 in about 5 mins..

I had messed up in the Casino opposite the Lucky 38 so I emptied all my stuff on the floor outside the Casino except for my Thump Thump and some stimpaks and went in and killed all the gangsters.. taking all there clothes and knifes and weapons and repaired as I went along.. only emptied 2 rooms before I had repaired 30 items.

Emptied all the gangsters gear on the floor outside and picked up my stuff and waltzed off into the sunset with Cass at my side.


This is an old game but I still love it.

You can repair weapons with exact copies of the same weapon. You can unlock this achievement quickly by stocking up on common weapons such as the Varmint Rifle, 10mm & 9mm pistols. This can also be done with similar armours as well. Any weapon or armour will give you an option to repair it if it is not in perfect condition. Do this 30 times for the achievement

while in your pip boy. You may notice the option to repair items to improve item condition. You can only repair items with similar items. This is a great way to keep your weapon condition up and at the same time making weapons more valuable and less likely to jam. Do this 30 times and this trophy is yours.

Use your Repair skill to fix 30 items, like weapons, armor, etc. You will need another item of identical type, or a variant on the same type in order to use it for repairs. This trophy will be virtually guaranteed over the course of a game, however. Keep track of your progress on the Stats screen of your Pip-Boy.

You should get this achievement over the course of the game simply by looting bodies and repairing like items. Any area with a faction (minor or major) will have lots of potential enemies with like armor and weapons. Kill and loot them and you'll have a good amount of items to repair. Also don't forget the Jury Rigging (Repair 90) perk which makes this achievement trivially easy to get.

A fairly easy trophy, in order to repair an item you need exactly the same (or very similar) item. In order to repair from the menu you need to point at the item you want to repair and click , then select the item you want to use for repair. in this way repair 30 times. You can get it already at the initial stages of the game by repairing armor and weapons from enemies.
