Don't repair your medium shields in Arc Raiders—it's a waste of resources when you could do something way easier instead

If you're anything like me in Arc Raiders, chances are you come back to Speranza with a broken shield more often than not. Maybe you got into a tussle with another raider or stumbled into the path of a very angry arc; regardless of how it happens, you have to fix yourself up before heading topside again.

If you're just using a light shield, then repairs aren't an issue at all, as all you need are regular plastic parts. But if you have a medium shield it'll cost much more. Repairing a medium shield costs requires arc circuitry and one battery. Now, the battery isn't exactly a precious resource, but the arc circuitry is. I only have seven lying around in my inventory right now, and if your shield is damaged below 50% you'll need two of these to repair it.
