Best R.E.P.O. Mods So Far
Better Map

When you're using the proximity chat feature in R.E.P.O., it can be challenging to keep track of your teammates' positions or anticipate monster spawns. This mod provides a clear visual indicator of where your teammates are headed and highlights danger zones to avoid. Each monster type is represented by a unique shape, and, as is common in gaming, red signifies danger.
More Shop Items

The random nature of item spawning at the Service Station can be frustrating, especially when the specific weapon or upgrade you're seeking isn't available. This mod increases the variety and frequency of weapons, items, and upgrades available at the Service Station, enhancing your chances of acquiring what you need and offering better stock and pricing options.
More Stamina

Stamina can be a crucial asset, whether you're playing solo or with a team. Facing formidable enemies like Trudges or clusters of Bangers often requires a strategic retreat. This mod doesn't increase your stamina but rather slows its depletion rate, allowing you to evade danger for longer periods.
Show Enemy Damage

With 19 different monsters, each with varying health levels, it's tough to keep track of the damage you're inflicting. This mod displays the remaining health of monsters after you start attacking, making it easier to decide whether to continue fighting or retreat. The monster's health is shown as a diminishing red bar or a numerical countdown, providing real-time feedback on your damage output.
Team Upgrades

Progressing in R.E.P.O. requires funds to purchase weapons and items for tackling more challenging levels. Upgrades are essential but become increasingly expensive as you advance. This mod allows any purchased upgrades to be shared among all team members, regardless of who activates them. When you check your map, all players will have the same upgrade level, significantly reducing overall costs.
Valuable Shrinking

Transporting high-value items like pianos or large computer units can be risky, especially without an Indestructible Drone. This mod lets you shrink these items to fit inside a cart for safe transport. Simply place one part of the item into the cart, and the mod will handle the rest, making it easier to navigate the map and reach the extraction point.
Character Customization

While picking colors at the game's start is fun, customizing your R.E.P.O. robot adds a personal touch. This mod offers extensive options to dress your character from head to toe, including themes from other popular games like Pokémon and Mario, allowing for unique and creative expressions.
Improved Truck Healing

Returning to the truck after a successful run in R.E.P.O. is a relief, especially because it provides healing. This mod increases the amount of health restored upon reaching the truck, potentially eliminating the need to buy health kits at the Service Station, depending on your injury level.
More Of Everything
