ra’s Weapon Durability
— build 41; mod version: 1.0 —
This mod increases the durability of several weapons. Some weapons like the katana, the axe or the various firearms have their durability significantly increased. Other items like hammers or metal bars have their durability also increased but to a smaller extend. Improvised weapons like kitchen knifes or pans are not changed. For a detailed list of changes see the next section.
Explanation: Each weapon has two values which are relevant for their durability: 1. Maximal condition (short: maxCon) and 2. Chance of lowering condition per hit (short: CoL). For example, the vanilla axe has maxCon = 13 and CoL = 1/22. If I get things right, this means that you can expect your axe to break after 13*22=286 hits. That’s the reason why your brand new axe may already break after three days of usage. This mod increases the maxCon and the CoL values for various weapons to make them last longer. In a few cases it also reduces the damage of a weapon done to doors. Besides that, the stats of the weapons are not changed.
Here is a detailed list of changes (compared to vanilla):

– works with singleplayer in build 41.71
– multiplayer: I did a few test runs as a host and everything seems to work fine; however, I do not know how the mod behaves if you join a game as non-host; since I am not a multiplayer by myself, I cannot really say a lot about the topic; use on your own risk when playing multiplayer
– not sure about compatibility with other mods; just try; may cause conflicts with any mod which changes any item from the above list
Feel free to report in the comments. Suggestions concerning balancing are always welcome. If you think something is completely overpowered by this mod (or still not powerful enough), you are welcome to state your opinion in the comment section. Since balancing is a very difficult issue, I am always happy to hear your opinions!
This mod overhauls all weapons mentioned in the list above. A game update which changes any of those weapons will therefore have no effect if the mod is enabled. I’ll try to keep the mod up to date if I have the time.
There are a lot of other mods increasing the durability of weapons, for example "Simple Weapon Durability" or "Realistic Weapon Durability". Have a look at them at the steam workshop.
