Forum:Full maintenance perk: does it work?

I recently did a playtrough with Raul as a follower. The courier convinced Raul to accept his old age and his problems, and thus got the perk Full Maintenance. Now, I have my doubts if this perk really does anything. As the courier was highly specialized in using unarmed weapons with only 100 health points, I expected their 75% higher durability to be noticeable. But not so, these weapons wore down very quickly. I had to repair them after beating 20 to 25 enemies. I therefore think that Full Maintenance might be bugged, but I might be wrong about it. Can anyone shed some light on this? --DanTheHitman 06:04, November 20, 2010 (UTC)

I'm using raul too w/ the full maintenance, and I can see a significant difference, so I'd say it works. Omenwww 08:54, November 20, 2010 (UTC)

I say that my weapons degraded FASTER with Raul in my company. I certainly didnt notice an improvment.

I looked it up in the GECK. Normal maintenance should work, and weapons and armor should only take 50% of the damage. Full Maintenance however... is empty (!) and doesn't do anything, as far as I can tell. Should you convince Raul to give you Full Maintenance, you get an empty perk in return, and even lose out on the effects of normal maintenance. :( --DanTheHitman 07:05, November 23, 2010 (UTC)
