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

Navigating through the game becomes much easier with the "Better Map" mod, especially when using the proximity chat feature. It displays your teammates' positions and marks monster spawn areas, helping you steer clear of danger. Each monster is represented by a unique shape, and as you might expect, red signifies high-risk zones.
More Shop Items

The randomness of item spawns at the Service Station can be a source of frustration. The "More Shop Items" mod addresses this by increasing the variety and quantity of weapons, items, and upgrades available. This means you’re more likely to find what you need without having to wait for the next level.
More Stamina

Stamina is crucial in R.E.P.O., particularly when you're on your own or facing tough enemies like Trudges or Bangers. The "More Stamina" mod doesn’t increase your stamina pool but reduces the rate at which it depletes, allowing you to escape from dangerous situations more effectively.
Show Enemy Damage

With 19 unique monsters in R.E.P.O., remembering their HP levels can be challenging. The "Show Enemy Damage" mod simplifies this by displaying a monster's remaining health after you attack, either via a red bar or numerical countdown. This information helps you decide whether to continue fighting or retreat.
Team Upgrades

Progressing in R.E.P.O. requires investing in upgrades, which can become increasingly expensive. The "Team Upgrades" mod allows any purchased upgrades to be shared among all team members. Once an upgrade is bought, it applies to everyone, saving you and your team a significant amount of money.
Valuable Shrinking

Transporting high-value items safely can be tricky, especially without an Indestructible Drone. The "Valuable Shrinking" mod enables you to shrink large items to fit inside the cart for safe transport, making it easier to maneuver through the map to the extraction point.
Character Customization

While choosing colors for your team at the game's start is fun, the "Character Customization" mod takes personalization to another level. It offers extensive options to customize your R.E.P.O. robot, including themes inspired by other games like Pokémon and Mario.
Improved Truck Healing

Returning to the truck in R.E.P.O. not only marks the end of a successful run but also provides much-needed healing. The "Improved Truck Healing" mod boosts the amount of HP restored when you reach the truck, potentially eliminating the need to buy health kits at the Service Station.
More Of Everything
