Quick Links
Repois a hilarious and horrifying horror co-op game similar to Lethal Company, where you and your friends play as little robots that have to find loot to sell to the Taxman, in buildings filled with terrifying monsters at every turn.
While the intro will go over the basics of gameplay, it doesn’t compare to the actual experience of meeting a quota while trying not to die. We’ve put together some beginner tips to help you have an easier time on your first time playing this game.
How To Adjust Your Graphics Settings
Theminimum spec requirements to run Repo are low, allowing less-powerful systems to be able to run the game smoothly. Still, there are some quality-of-life graphics adjustments that can make your experience that much better.
Recommended Change
Max FPS
By default, it will be set to unlimited, but you canturn this down to as low as 60 FPS.
Grain
Default is on. If you want the images to be less grainy, turn this off.
Pixelation
Default is set to high. For smoother graphics, you can turn the pixelation down to medium or small, whichever your preference.
Don’t Stand Inside Extraction Point When Activated
When you fill the extraction point with lootto sell to the Taxman, the process of claiming the goods will start. You’ll have ashort time to get out of the waybefore the wall slams down and the loot gets sucked away.
If you linger too long and are still standing inside the extraction point when the wall comes slamming down,you will be destroyed.
If you’re playing with a group, you can be revived, but if you’re playing singleplayer, or you are the last player alive,this will mean game over.
Make Sure All Items Fit Inside Extraction Point
As an extension of the previous tip, you will need to ensure all the loot fits all the way inside the extraction point. Smaller items won’t be much of an issue, but pay attention to the larger items, like large paintings or televisions.
If there are items sticking out past the extraction point barrier, when the container comes down to collect everything, the items will get damaged, which could cause theoverall value of your loot to drop below quota, and the extraction will fail.
If this happens, it just means you’ll have togo find more items, but it also means you’ll have to brave the monsters for longer.
Master The Art Of The Crouch
In Repo you may crouch to sneak quietly through the rooms and hide under furniture.Monsters are able to hear you, so crouching not only shuts off your flashlight, but minimizes the sounds you make.
Once you’re in crouch mode, you may literallyhide under just about anything or in any corner.
Hiding while crouched is essential to your survival when being stalked by monsters, especially the bigger ones. And for the earlier levels, mastering the art of the crouch will be theonly way to avoid damage, as you won’t have any weapons to fight back with yet.
Keep in mind that smaller monstersmay still find you under furniture, and there are some monsters with a long reach, too, so be mindful of which monster you’re trying to hide from!
Physics And Gravity Matter
When you’re carrying loot,everything is fragile. The more damage an item takes, the less money it’s worth. If you damage it enough,you’re able to lose the item entirely.
Walk slowly, don’t make sudden movements, andbe aware of things like tables, chairs, and door framesas you move items between rooms.
Where you grab an item frommatters with regard to how it’s moved. Some items may activate when picked up depending on where you grab them, and heavier items might be easier to liftwhen picked up from the bottom, even if multiple people are lifting them.
Your loot cart and the extraction point floor are theonly places you may drop an item safelywithout worrying about it breaking.
How To Find The Next Extraction Point
Starting at the second level, you’ll havemore than one extraction point to clearbefore you can complete the level. After you clear the initial extraction point, which is always right by your truck, you have to nowlocate the second extraction pointto unlock and clear the next quota.
If you use the map to look for rooms you haven’t been in yet, you should be able to easily find the extraction point. While searching,listen for the low hum that extraction points emanate, as that will lead you directly to it.
In the shop, you might be able to find an item called anExtraction Finder. It looks like a long gun, and it willpoint you in the direction of the next extraction point. This can be especially useful when you’re on a large map with three or more extraction points.
Don’t Be Afraid To Buy Weapons
The monsters in Repo are scary and are capable of doing a lot of damage. That is a fact. However,they are not invincible, though it may seem that way at first.
It is possible for you todeal damage to the monsters, however. Some of the little ones, like Gnomes or the Bangers, you can justpick up and throwthem to destroy them. Other monsters, however, will take more cunning and skill to defeat.
In the Service Shop, you canbuy grenades, mines, and other weaponsto use on the monsters. If you are successful in defeating a monster, some of them will drop a core thatmay be worth a few thousand dollars towards your quota.
For items like grenades, ensure you use them somewhere you can easily get away.You don’t want to accidentally blow yourself up…like I did.
Upgrade Your Skills As Soon As Possible
For the first level or two,you may not need many upgrades, but as you venture into the higher levels, upgrading your skills and abilities will become essential.
At the service shop, look for the shelves holding what look like cereal boxes.These boxes hold upgrades for strength, stamina, health, and many more. Don’t sleep on these, as they could mean the difference between victory and defeat.
