Does this mean that we can now customize/upgrade all weapons and armors? Or do it apply only to crafted weapons? (The number of crafted weapons is very small).
Personally, I found crafted weapons to be very effective side-weapon. It allows me to put a lot of points into repair so I can upgrade my armor and use crafted weapons while I gather ammunition on my exploration. When my ammo to my crafted weapons runs out, I have an opening to max firearms to lv5 and start using ammo instead. While it doesn't have as good DPS as firearms, it allows me to save gun ammo for later.
Still, investing into melee lv3 and getting penetrate perk is just as effective (though it doesn't let you upgrade armor like repair does).
In any case, it would be a lot cooler if this upgrading option would work for all weapons and armors (especially rapid-firing ones, since they are a lot weaker than sniper rifles), but I won't complain if it works only for crafting tools. (Only lv3,4 and 5 repair crafted weapons seem useful. Other stuff, not so much)
