I'm often unable to repair installations with my repair tool. When I try it just gives me the sound effect like there's nothing there - or that it would be fully repaired when it's down to 20% health or so.
I'm not having the same problem with vehicles nor dropsuits.
I'm using BDR-2 Repair Tool. |

I had the same sensation. As said by Wynn80, the beam looks like a black lightning bolt so it's kinda difficult to spot. The tool works fine tho, I was able to heal tanks, installations and teammates!

I've only encountered the repair tool once in all the games I've played: I was on the Plateus Skirmish as an attacker, launching an assault towards B, on foot. I took out a couple of hostiles before my armor had taken too much damage, so I took cover and waited for my passive armor repairer to work it's ways. It usually takes many seconds just to get 1% back, so sometimes I just rush in guns blazing because I cant wait that long to get back to relatively normal levels, but this time it just skyrocketed! I looked around and behind me sat a Minmatar Logistic, repping, spewing black tar in my direction. So instead of having to go kamikaze, I could continue my assault, take out some more and claim B
We really need more repair tools in the market, and they appear to work fine so would you be so kind and throw in a few more in the next build? |

I've tried using the rep tool for 2 days & it just doesn't fix anything. I point n hold/click at someone or thing that needs fixing at close range & no effects or sounds show Im doing anything. Am some how doing this wrong or just another random glitch on my end?
Edit:
Just tried an ambush map & that black lightning thing showed up when I tried again to heal squad mates. So it works for me on ambush only atm for me. |

I'm still having difficulties with the repair tool. I usually try to repair defensive turrets on Plateaus map just when the game starts. They get destroyed really fast but they last few seconds more when I'm fixing them. About 50% of the battles I'm unable to repair them - it's like they are not there.
Same thing has happened several times with supply depots and cloning units, but never with HAVs, LAVs, dropships or dropsuits.
I have noticed the black "lightning" when the repair tool is working and I'm getting points every few seconds and the target is getting hitpoints, but when the repair tool is not working there is just this sound like you are trying to repair thin air. No lightning, no regeneration, no points. |

I haven't tried it on installations yet, but it works just fine for me on vehicles and infantry.
Get close (keep the VERY limited range in mind), hold the fire button, listen for the beeping, watch for the black lightning, and see the target's armour refill.
Keep in mind it ONLY repairs armour, not shields. Just in case that's the problem (might not be, but you never know). |

a nice misc fact is that you can even repair while sprinting. Just hold down the R1 button and run after the guy that you are repairing. |

I've had pretty good luck with my repairing. There was one game I couldn't lock onto anything with my repair tool or swarm launcher until I got myself shot. After that I didn't have any issues. |

I've never been able to get the Missile blaster pair the defenders start with repped by any amount at any point in time. I don't have this problem with any other structure suit or vehicle I'm tried repping. |

I also encountered the problem. It seems the lock on installation only works in very limited areas. It is somehow similar to giving capture orders on installations and checkpoints. The only place I found it working is when you aim on an installation from above and aim slightly above the control panel. |

Love the repair tool so far. Have no problems repping vehicles or dropsuits. Haven't been able to rep a turret installation yet though and I've tried maybe 4 or 5 times, other installations seem to work fine though. Color is hard to see but I'm not sure yet if that's a bad thing. Maybe just add a "no target" icon for when its not working. |

I would love a target box on just our HUD when we have a repair lock since the black threads and I like to call them is hard to see |

I dont know about the nanite injector - maybe have it in hand when u die the pull R1? but u can heal yourself just by having your repair tool out, aim at nothing, then fire - whala it's done. You can also detonate Remote Explosives before u die if you already have it out - just pull L1. |

Noticed this worked on a Heavy Missile installation, but not on a cannon installation, nor a supply depot during the same skirmish round. All needed armor repaired, and I was within range. Tried aiming all over the two inst. that wouldn't take the repair. Am using the Militia repair variant. |

I've been able to repair anything I could get close to while on level ground at the same height as the installation, and unable to repair if I was below the installation level, and sometimes able to repair, but other times not, when I'm above the height of the installation's base. |

One time I met a guy that was fixing missile installation and I couldn't break his tank with max dps prototype assault forge gun(skills included). |
