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

The "Better Map" mod displays the positions of your team members and highlights danger zones where monsters are likely to appear. Each monster type is represented by a unique shape, and as is standard in gaming, red signifies danger, helping you navigate the game more strategically.
More Shop Items

The "More Shop Items" mod increases the variety and quantity of weapons, items, and upgrades available, improving your chances of finding exactly what you need to progress and giving you better options at various price points.
More Stamina
Image via The Escapist In R.E.P.O., stamina is crucial, especially when you're on your own or facing overwhelming odds. Instead of adding more stamina, the "More Stamina" mod reduces the rate at which stamina depletes, allowing you to evade monsters like Trudges and Bangers for longer periods, which can be a lifesaver in intense situations.
Show Enemy Damage

The "Show Enemy Damage" mod simplifies this by displaying a monster's remaining health after you attack, either as a red bar or a numerical countdown. This feature helps you make informed decisions about whether to continue fighting or to retreat.
Team Upgrades
Image via The Escapist As you progress in R.E.P.O., upgrades become more expensive, which can be costly when playing with a team. The "Team Upgrades" mod shares any purchased upgrades among all party members, regardless of who bought them. This means that once an upgrade is activated, every player benefits, significantly reducing the financial burden on the team.
Valuable Shrinking
Image via The Escapist Transporting high-value items safely can be tricky in R.E.P.O., especially without an Indestructible Drone. The "Valuable Shrinking" mod solves this by allowing you to shrink large items to fit them into your cart for safe transport. Simply place one part of the item into the cart, and the mod does the rest, making navigation to the extraction point much easier.
Character Customization
Image via The Escapist While choosing colors at the start of the game is fun, the "Character Customization" mod takes personalization to the next level. It offers extensive options to dress up your R.E.P.O. robot, including themes from other popular games like Pokémon and Mario, allowing you to express your unique style.
Improved Truck Healing
Image via The Escapist Returning to the truck after a run in R.E.P.O. is a moment of relief, and the "Improved Truck Healing" mod enhances this by increasing the healing you receive upon return. With up to 50 HP restored, you may not need to purchase health kits at the Service Station as often, depending on your level of injury.
More Of Everything
Image via The Escapist If you're feeling the monotony of the base game, the "More Of Everything" mod is a breath of fresh air. It adds new cosmetics, valuables, items, and enemies, offering a variety of new experiences. With toggle options, you can customize which additions you want, allowing for a personalized gameplay experience tailored to you and your team's preferences.
Take No Damage

While it may detract from the game's intended challenge, it allows you to focus on practicing stealth and attack strategies without the pressure of immediate failure.
