Navigating the dark and tense environments of R.E.P.O. can be challenging, especially when relying on proximity chat. The Better Map mod is a game-changer, providing real-time visibility of your teammates' locations and highlighting monster spawn areas. Each monster is represented by a distinct shape, with red signaling danger, ensuring you can strategize and avoid unnecessary risks effectively.
More Shop Items

The randomness of item spawns at the Service Station can be frustrating. With the More Shop Items mod, you’ll find an increased variety of weapons, upgrades, and other items available, enhancing your chances of getting what you need without having to progress to the next level. This mod offers better stock and more competitive prices, making your shopping trips more fruitful.
More Stamina

Stamina is crucial in R.E.P.O., particularly when facing overwhelming odds alone or with a team. The More Stamina mod doesn't increase your total stamina but rather slows down its depletion rate. This means you can outrun those terrifying Trudges or Bangers for longer, giving you a better chance at survival.
Show Enemy Damage

With 19 unique monsters, keeping track of their health levels can be a daunting task. The Show Enemy Damage mod simplifies this by displaying a red health bar or numerical damage count as you attack, allowing you to make informed decisions on whether to continue fighting or retreat. It's a vital tool for optimizing your combat strategy.
Team Upgrades

Progressing in R.E.P.O. requires teamwork and resources, and upgrades can become increasingly expensive. The Team Upgrades mod revolutionizes this by allowing any purchased upgrades to be shared among all team members. This means that once an upgrade is activated, everyone benefits, significantly reducing the financial burden on the team.
Valuable Shrinking

Transporting high-value items like pianos or large computer units can be risky and cumbersome. The Valuable Shrinking mod solves this by allowing these items to shrink and fit into a cart for safe transport. You only need to place one part of the item in the cart, and the mod does the rest, making your extraction missions smoother.
Character Customization

Adding a personal touch to your R.E.P.O. robot can make the game even more enjoyable. The Character Customization mod offers extensive options to dress up your character, from head to toe, with themes inspired by other popular games like Pokémon and Mario. It’s a fun way to express your style in the game.
Improved Truck Healing

Returning to the truck after a successful mission in R.E.P.O. is always a relief. The Improved Truck Healing mod enhances this by increasing the amount of health you regain upon reaching the truck. This could eliminate the need for buying health kits at the Service Station, depending on your level of injury.
More Of Everything

It introduces new cosmetics, valuables, items, and even enemies, offering a fresh gameplay experience. With the ability to toggle different aspects on and off, you can customize your game to suit your preferences.
