REPO is a fun cooperative horror game in the spirit of Lethal Company. The player teams up with friends or new acquaintances, each of them controls one of the small multi-colored robots that need to collect loot and hand it over to the Tax Inspector. Everything would be fine, but the levels are teeming with creepy monsters.
When you first start the game, you’ll be shown a few tutorials and explained the basics of the gameplay, but you won’t be given any subtleties or tricks. This guide will help you navigate the game faster: finally, you’ll learn how to complete REPO.
Graphics settings are the best option
You don’t need a powerful computer to run REPO, so the game will run even on weak systems. However, there are several parameters that can improve the image quality and make the gameplay more comfortable:
- Maximum FPS (Max FPS). By default, there is no limit, but you can reduce it to 60 FPS.
- Noise (Grain). Enabled by default. Disable it if you want to remove graininess from the image.
- Pixelation: High by default. For smoother graphics, reduce to medium or low.
Do not stand at the extraction point when it is activated.
Once you’ve loaded up the extraction point with loot to deliver to the Tax Inspector, the cargo transport process will begin. You’ll have a few seconds to leave the area before the wall comes down and sucks the loot in. If you don’t leave in time and remain in the extraction zone, you’ll be destroyed by the triggered mechanism. In co -op, you can be resurrected by your teammates. In single-player, being the last one standing will result in a Game Over screen.
Make sure all your loot fits.
An important addition to the previous tip: make sure that all loot fits completely within the extraction zone. Small items can be loaded without any problems. Large objects (such as TVs or paintings) may partially extend beyond the extraction zone. If some of the items are outside, the loot will be damaged when the container is activated, which will reduce its value. In the worst case, the loot price will be lower than the required quota, and the extraction will fail. If this happens, you will have to look for more loot, which means staying in the company of monsters longer .
Stealth is the main tool for survival
In REPO, you can crouch to move around rooms unnoticed and hide under furniture. Most monsters have good hearing, so moving in this position makes you less noticeable not only from a visual standpoint, but also as a source of noise. In stealth mode, you can hide under any piece of furniture or in the corner of the room. It is extremely important to master stealth, especially early in the game when you do not yet have a good weapon for self-defense.
Remember! Small monsters can spot you even under furniture. Some creatures with long limbs can get the player out of cover if they know he is hiding there.
Physics and gravity are also important
All loot in the game is very fragile. The more damage an item receives, the less it is worth. If it is damaged too much, it will disappear altogether. Follow the rules for safe transportation of loot:
- Move slowly, avoid sudden movements.
- Watch out for obstacles: tables , chairs, doorways.
- The correct grip is also important. This makes it easier to lift heavy objects from below.
- Some things are activated depending on the capture point.
- You can throw loot on the floor in the extraction zone or in the loot cart without thinking. Otherwise, the item may break.
How to find the evacuation point?
Starting from the second level, you will have to use several extraction points. The first point is always located at your truck . After you load the loot at this location, you will have to look for the next extraction point to send the loot to the Tax Inspector.
To locate the extraction point, use the map and pay attention to all unexplored rooms. Listen for the low hum that the extractor makes. You can buy a locator for the extractor in the store – it looks like a long rifle and shows the direction to the extraction point. This device will be especially useful on large maps with three or more extraction points.
Buy weapons
Most monsters in REPO are a serious threat and can deal a lot of damage, but even they have their vulnerabilities. To destroy some small creatures ( gnomes or demolitionists), you can pick them up and throw them into a wall, lava, etc. Larger monsters require different tactics.
What can you buy in the store to combat them:
- Grenades
- Mines
- Other types of weapons
If you kill a monster, it may drop a core, which is worth several thousand dollars and helps you close your quota faster. But be careful with grenades! Use them in places where you can quickly escape. Don’t blow yourself up…
At the first levels, upgrades are not necessary, but the further you progress in the game, the more important they are. In the store, you can buy upgrades that look like cereal boxes. With their help, you can pump up strength, endurance, health, and other skills. Do not ignore these upgrades! Very soon, they can become a decisive factor between victory and defeat.
How to resist monsters?
We talk about this in more detail in a separate guide to monsters in REPO . Below is a brief information on each enemy:
- Animal . Afraid of players, runs in a random direction, knocking down objects and carts. Ignore it, but keep your prey away to avoid damage. If necessary, try to corner it so it doesn’t interfere.
- Duck . Roams the map and targets a player. If picked up, it transforms and bites the closest one. When it spots you, avoid contact – instead, throw objects at it to prevent it from approaching. Do not try to lure it into a hole – it goes around it.
- Demolitionist . A small skull that moves in groups. When approached, it lights explosives and tries to get closer. Can be grabbed and thrown, causing damage. If you run away, it will explode itself. Before detonation, it “screams” – use this moment to take cover or direct its explosion against enemies.
- Snowman . Slow, but has a wide view. When spotted, uses a powerful scream that pushes everything around, including loot and items. Can destroy valuables. If encountered, hide or remove items from his line of sight in advance. If you are caught in his scream, you cannot move until he stops – be careful if there are other enemies or explosives nearby.
- Chief . Similar to the Snowman: slow, but has a wide line of sight and attacks with a scream, throwing objects and hindering movement. Can destroy valuable loot and delay you, leaving you vulnerable to other enemies. Put important things away, avoid getting into his attack range.
- Clown : Searches for players while emitting a loud laugh. When detected, fires a destructive beam at head level and attacks with a punch when close, knocking the target back. Listen for his footsteps and laugh to avoid encounters. The beam can be jumped over or ducked, but it can change direction. Run away if he aims at you.
- Gnome . Small creatures (2-6 in a group), attack objects in hands and in a cart. Before attacking, they linger for a few seconds. They are easy to kill – pick them up and throw them or throw them away to get rid of the threat.
- Head . Chases the player, screaming loudly, trying to bite. Tries to get those hiding from cover. High damage makes a collision with him deadly. Avoid him by running away or hiding around the corner. If you hide and he notices you, step aside – he will not pursue, but will remain looking at your previous point.
- Invisible . An invisible monster that transports players to random locations (usually away from the ship ). It is detected by its breathing and footsteps. Does not cause damage, but can leave you among enemies. Run if you hear it. If you have a weapon, attack – it has low health, 1-2 hits are enough.
- Hunter . A blind enemy that reacts to sounds. Attacks if it hears footsteps, conversations, or objects moving. Can fall down stairs if damaged.
- Mentalist – Shoots an energy ball, lifting the player and objects into the air. After a few seconds, drops them, dealing damage. Can teleport after the attack.
- Eye . Floats near the ceiling and forces the player to look at it, gradually inflicting damage. If the target dies or hides, it moves to another room.
- Reaper – Patrols slowly, but when it detects a player, it speeds up and attacks with blades. It does not stop pursuing until it loses its target.
- Robe . A ghostly creature that stalks players almost silently. When detected, it speeds up and screams while attacking. Can check for cover.
- Baby – Grabs items and throws them at the player, dealing damage. Doesn’t stop attacking until he runs out of items or loses his target.
- Child of Darkness . Teleports around the map, making childish sounds. Deals damage if the player looks at it for 2-3 seconds. To avoid the attack, turn away and do not maintain eye contact.
- Vomiter . Flies around the map, sticking to players and causing vomiting that damages everything around. Sees even those who are hiding. You can run away, as he gets tired quickly, or do not look at allies and objects when infected.
- The Big One . A slow but powerful enemy with a hammer. It pulls players and objects before an explosive attack. Its footsteps can be heard from afar, and it makes a warning sound before striking, giving time to escape.
- Screamer . An aggressive monster that screams when attacking and knocks back its victim. Can trap the player in a room, constantly deafening them with screams. The best way to survive is to run away or use a weapon.
Best Weapons in REPO – Which One to Buy?
To effectively deal with monsters, the best solution is to eliminate the threat with weapons. It is important to understand that both close and long-range combat will require energy, which can be replenished on the ship, but for this you must purchase energy crystals in advance. The ship always has a basic weapon, but it is recommended to have three or four additional crystals in the arsenal to improve combat capabilities.
This section can discuss different types of weapons and give some tips on how to use them.
