If you're a fan of the cooperative horror game *R.E.P.O.*, you're likely already hooked on its strategic depth, tension, and the thrill of teamwork. But if you're looking to mix things up and enhance your experience, diving into the world of mods can be a game-changer. Here's our curated list of the best *R.E.P.O.* mods available, designed to elevate your gameplay.

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

The Better Map mod solves this by displaying your teammates' positions and highlighting areas to steer clear of to avoid unwanted encounters. Each monster type is represented by a unique shape, and as in most games, red signals danger.
More Shop Items

With the More Shop Items mod, you'll find an increased variety of weapons, items, and upgrades available at the Service Station. This means a higher chance of finding exactly what you need, at potentially better prices, making your shopping trips more rewarding.
More Stamina

Instead of adding more stamina, the More Stamina mod reduces the rate at which it depletes. This tweak allows you to escape from threats like Trudges or Bangers for longer periods, enhancing your survival chances.
Show Enemy Damage

The Show Enemy Damage mod changes that by displaying a monster's remaining health as a red bar or a countdown of numbers during your attack. This feature helps you make strategic decisions on whether to continue fighting or to retreat.
Team Upgrades
Image via The EscapistProgressing in R.E.P.O. requires purchasing weapons and upgrades to tackle increasingly difficult levels. The cost of upgrades escalates as you advance, which can be financially draining, especially in a team setting. The Team Upgrades mod makes any upgrade purchased by any team member available to all, significantly reducing the overall cost and fostering a more cohesive team strategy.
Valuable Shrinking

The Valuable Shrinking mod revolutionizes this aspect by allowing you to shrink these items to fit into your cart for safe transport. Just place one part of the item in the cart, and the mod takes care of the rest, making extraction much less of a gamble.
Character Customization

It offers extensive options to dress your R.E.P.O. robot from head to toe, even including elements inspired by other popular games like Pokémon and Mario, adding a touch of your personality to your gameplay.
Improved Truck Healing

The Improved Truck Healing mod increases the healing effect to 50 HP, potentially eliminating the need to purchase health kits at the Service Station, depending on your injury level.
More Of Everything
Image via The EscapistIf you're feeling the monotony of the base game after countless levels, the More Of Everything mod introduces new cosmetics, valuables, items, and even enemies. This mod offers a customizable experience, allowing you to toggle individual features on or off to tailor the game to your preferences and keep the gameplay fresh.
Take No Damage
Image via The EscapistWhile it may alter the core challenge of R.E.P.O., the Take No Damage mod allows you to play without the fear of being caught and killed, offering a stress-free environment to hone your stealth and attack strategies. This can be particularly useful for those moments when survival games become overwhelmingly frustrating.
