Certain survivors being able to repair weapons

[visual pumice]

I think It'd be interesting for certain survivors, thinking like Joe and Barb, to be able to repair weapons for maybe 25%-50% of their durability at the cost of some supplies. (duct tape, screws, wood depending on the weapon) To keep it balanced, maybe only once or twice before you can't anymore.

I think this could be interesting as in real life, if you had an axe that was very clearly about to break, you could duct tape that thing so it lasts a few more hits, or tighten a handle on something etc. etc.

I think melee weapon repair should be just a regular thing you can do at the weapon bench (but as a limitation, you can only fully repair medium and/or high durability melee weapons).

Maybe certain survivors (like Joe or Barb as you mentioned) could be capable of somewhat repairing melee weapons (20-40%?) while out scavenging given you bring or find in a location materials to do so.
