The Welding Tool is a tool that can be operated in Barotrauma. It is one of the most essential tools, as it allows crew members to repair the submarine.
Function[edit | edit source]
Welding Tools are used to repair structures such as walls and windows. They can also be used to seal doors. The only way to un-seal a door is by using a Plasma Cutter.
Structures being affected by the welding tool are highlighted by a rectangle. The color of said rectangle determines the condition of the structure: a greener color indicating that the structure is in a stable condition and a redder color to reflect a poor condition. When the structure is about to break the rectangle will begin dissipating.
Usage[edit | edit source]
The Welding Tool requires both hands to equip. Holding down the right-click (mouse2) button will aim it in whichever direction your cursor is positioned. Holding down the left-click (mouse1) button will activate the tool, affecting any structures within its range.
If a player attempts to use a welding tool without the appropriate skill level, the Welding Fuel Tank will be used up 3 times faster.
