Creation requirements

Locations

 * The dropbox in the Abandoned BoS Bunker spawns 100 Sierra Madre chips and 1 voucher (worth 1000 chips) every 3 days. allowing the player to buy 55 Weapon Repair Kits every 3 days making this an invaluable source for the kits, provided they found the Vending machine code.
 * In the Abandoned Brotherhood of Steel bunker in the main room on a metal shelf.
 * In Jacobstown, in the Jacobstown lodge take the right hand stairs down the hall to the last room on the right side before the bathroom; on the middle shelf near some communications-electronic equipment.
 * In Goodsprings, in Victor's shack, on the table in front of you when you first enter.
 * At the Gun Runners on a shelf, for sale.
 * The Gun Runners also sell the materials to make it on the workbench.
 * At Mojave Outpost, given by Jackson after completing the quest Can You Find it in Your Heart?.
 * In The Brotherhood of Steel Safehouse.
 * In the Searchlight fire station, on a shelf on the first floor, the same room you enter into when you first zone in.
 * In Jean Sky Diving to the right of the set of lockers.
 * In Southern Nevada Wind Farm on top of a shelf.
 * At the Nipton general store, on the bottom of a tipped over shelf next to Boxcars.
 * At Mesquite Mountains Crater in Hell's Motel, on top of the wooden shelf nearest to the door, next to a D.C. Journal of Internal Medicine.
 * The Boomer Munitions Manager in the Mess hall & munitions storage at Nellis Air Force Base sells up to 5 kits (average: 2, refilled every 3–4 days) if you have a positive reputation with the Boomers.
 * One is at Jack Rabbit Springs by the skeleton and two metal poles near the pools of radiation.
 * The super mutant camp in the northeast corner of the map, north of The Devil's Throat. If the trait Wild Wasteland has been taken, this location is next to The One.
 * One can be found in a police car at the Poseidon gas station. There are also 2 Duct tape and a skill magazine. However, only one of these items can be grabbed, as the disturbance caused by grabbing one forces the other items under the car, making them disappear. If one leaves the area and returns later, additional items may be taken.

Component locations

 * A large amount of equipment needed for a weapon repair kit can be found at the gas station near Novac. However they must be stolen.
 * You can find numerous amounts of materials for the kits in the REPCONN Test Site, excluding Duct tape. The components you will most likely find in here are Wonderglues and Wrenches, with some Scrap.
 * With the Dead Money add-on you can find a good amount of Duct tape, but will find a scarcity of Wrenches in the add-on.
 * Most vendors, including the Gun Runners, the Crimson Caravan, and the multiple Traveling merchants around wandering the trade routes will usually sell a few pieces of scrap metal and some Scrap electronics, and an occasional Wrench, Wonderglue and Duct tape.
 * The REPCONN Headquarters contains a small number of the various components used to make the kits.
 * The Abandoned shack near Yangtze Memorial contains a small amount of components.
 * In the add-on Honest Hearts components can be found in high concentration, with the exception of wrenches.
 * Old Lady Gibson, located at the Gibson scrap yard (not far from Novac) sells all the components needed to create 1-2 Weapon repair kit's. Her stock respawns every 3 days, making her a good source to get the components. There is also a workbench inside the building, which the player can use to create the kits.
 * All components are extremely abundant in the Old World Blues add-on. The Book Chute, with the upgrade Book Chute Upgrade: Mulching, will turn clipboards into duct tape and scrap metal. (One clipboard = one duct tape and one scrap metal.) Muggy and the Toaster can also convert various items into Wonderglue and scrap electronics, meaning that the only item in short supply is the Wrench.

Dead Money

 * In the same terminal where you find the code for the demolition charge in the Salida del Sol service route, the code for weapon repair kits can be found here. Also, there is a code for them in the police station, sitting on top of a filing cabinet. Finding this code gives a constant supply of weapon repair kits even after returning to the Mojave Wasteland, making weapons very easy to maintain.

Bugs

 * Using a Weapon Repair Kit on any weapon with a durability mod installed (such as a .357 magnum revolver with an HD cylinder) will cause the weapon's health to decrease. This is caused by a specific function not properly accounting for modified weapon health, and may be fixed in a future patch.
 * Using a Weapon Repair Kit to repair a weapon you have more than one of may cause that item to become invisible within your inventory, especially the fully-repaired instances. Dropping all instances of that object will cause the invisible items to reappear. Rest assured no items are actually lost: they are only temporarily hidden.
 * If you have a weapon equipped but holstered, then using a weapon repair kit will cause the kit to disappear from your inventory, but not repair the equipped weapon. (Confirmed Xbox 360, unpatched)
 * This error was resolved with patch 1.2.0.31x.
 * Using weapons repair kit(s) on a weapon with a durability mod, at 100% repair created a weapon with a value over any possible total purchase price of new durability mod and weapon (Tested on Steam patch 1.3.0.452 with .44 Revolver and durability mod, weapon value at over 10000 caps)
 * Fixed on Steam patch 1.4.0.525, weapons repair kits can no longer repair weapons to 100% condition

Behind the scenes
Prior to patch 1.2.0.31x, the recipe required an additional 1 scrap metal, 1 wonderglue, and 1 wrench.
