*R.E.P.O.* has become a standout in the world of cooperative horror games, captivating players with its strategic depth, tense atmosphere, and the necessity for seamless teamwork. If you're looking to refresh your gameplay experience, exploring mods can be a fantastic way to do so. Below, we've compiled a list of the best *R.E.P.O.* mods available to date, all of which can be seamlessly integrated into your game using the "Thunderstore Mod Manager".
Best R.E.P.O. Mods So Far
Better Map

The "Better Map" mod addresses this by clearly displaying the locations of your teammates and highlighting areas to steer clear of to avoid encounters with monsters. Each monster is represented by a unique shape, and as is common in gaming, red signifies danger.
More Shop Items

The "More Shop Items" mod alleviates this by increasing the variety and quantity of weapons, items, and upgrades available at the Service Station, enhancing your chances of finding exactly what you need at a better price.
More Stamina
Image via The Escapist Stamina is crucial, whether you're navigating the game solo or with a team, particularly when facing daunting R.E.P.O. monsters. Instead of adding more stamina, the "More Stamina" mod reduces the rate at which it's consumed and depleted, allowing you to evade enemies for longer periods.
Show Enemy Damage

The "Show Enemy Damage" mod simplifies this by displaying a monster's remaining health during combat, either via a red health bar or numerical countdown, aiding your decision to engage or retreat.
Team Upgrades
Image via The Escapist Progress in R.E.P.O. hinges on acquiring funds to purchase weapons and upgrades necessary for tackling tougher levels. The escalating cost of upgrades can be prohibitive, especially in multiplayer. The "Team Upgrades" mod enables any upgrade purchased by one player to be shared among all team members, significantly reducing overall expenditure.
Valuable Shrinking
Image via The Escapist Transporting high-value items safely can be challenging, particularly without an Indestructible Drone. Large items like pianos or computer units are difficult to maneuver, especially over long distances. The "Valuable Shrinking" mod solves this by allowing these items to be shrunk and safely transported within a cart, requiring only part of the item to be placed inside.
Character Customization
Image via The Escapist While selecting a color at the game's start adds a fun element, customizing your R.E.P.O. robot further enhances personal engagement. This mod offers extensive character customization options, including themes inspired by other popular games like Pokémon and Mario, allowing you to truly personalize your character.
Improved Truck Healing
Image via The Escapist Returning to the truck after a mission is a moment of relief and healing. The "Improved Truck Healing" mod increases the amount of health restored upon reaching the truck, potentially eliminating the need to purchase health kits at the Service Station, depending on the extent of your injuries.
More Of Everything
Image via The Escapist If you're feeling the monotony of the base game after numerous playthroughs, the "More Of Everything" mod introduces a wealth of new content, including cosmetics, valuables, items, and even new enemies. With the option to toggle specific features, you can tailor your gameplay experience to keep it fresh and exciting.
Take No Damage

With its promising future and ongoing updates, R.E.P.O. continues to grow, and the modding community plays a vital role in expanding its horizons. As you explore these mods, don't forget to check out our other guides for more tips and strategies.
