REPO: Best Tips and Tricks To Survive Longer

Need to fill your REPO extraction quota with ease? Get through the levels with minimal damage with this guide.

REPO, the co-op extraction horror game, has been a surprise hit with gamers in the vein of games like Lethal Company. The gameplay loop of finding valuable loot, carrying it back to the extraction, while avoiding monsters, has resonated with gamers, amassing an impressive player base. However, it can be too difficult for players who are just jumping in due to all the hype around the game.

This guide will assist new players in making the most out of their first extraction session and maybe even defeat a few monsters along the way. It’s time to rack up loot for the greedy Taxman to earn a living and survive across the randomly generated worlds of REPO. Here are some useful beginner tips and tricks to help you survive longer.

1) Loot Is Fragile, Handle It With Care

The precious loot that you carry back to the extraction point is extremely fragile. Run it into a wall or doorway and you might reduce its value. While using the scroll wheel, push and pull them gently. Avoid bumping them into something, even your friends. Some items have unique interactions like a staff that can fire a powerful laser or a clown doll that blows up after touching its nose thrice.

Hold your loot close when entering doorways or turning corners, as you might crash it due to the game’s physics. Keep the loot within the extraction area carefully. If it’s sticking out of the sides, it will get destroyed during the extraction. One positive is that you can be reckless while placing the loot in your C.A.R.T. because its interiors are cushioned.

2) Revive Your Buddies

If your teammates die, which is mostly frequent due to all the terrific monsters in the game, you can pick up their head and take them to the extraction point. Taking them to the extraction point will revive your friend with 1 HP. Since being on 1 HP can be deadly, you can transfer your health in intervals of 10 HP to them.

Once an extraction site has been completed, all your teammates will gain 25 HP. So, if you transfer at least 20 HP to each other, your friends can gain back almost full health in a few levels in the game.

3) The Mini Radar Is Your Compass

Pressing the Tab button on the keyboard allows access to the mini radar. This gadget provides a map of the whole level with things such as unexplored rooms, nearby loot, and extraction points. When the extraction sites are complete, the radar will also show the fastest route to the exit. 

It is a great tool to help players navigate the procedurally generated locations without them feeling like a maze. It’s also a great tool to find valuable loot and fulfill the extraction quota. Utilizing the radar to the fullest extent is the key to having a smooth extraction experience.

4) Strength Upgrades Matter

There are various upgrades players can purchase in-game to make their level easier, like Health, Sprint Speed, and Strength, among others. Strength upgrades may not increase your health, but they do allow you to carry more weight. This makes carrying heavier objects easier and requires fewer teammates. If you keep up these upgrades, you’ll eventually be able to combat monsters to make your levels easier.

Smashing monsters can lead you to gain orbs that can contribute some cash towards your extraction quota. Strength is the more important attribute; the amount you carry is more significant than your Health.

5) Tumble Launch To Fight and Reach Higher Areas

Players can become a pickable object by pressing Q (Tumble Launch) on their keyboard, which turns them into a head. This allows your teammates to pick you up or lift you up, or shove you down to inaccessible areas. 

You can also launch yourself at enemies with the Tumble Launch ability to give your friends a head start to kill the monsters. Your teammates can also pick you up and throw you at enemies just like a pickable object.
