R.E.P.O. Mods

R.E.P.O. Mods expand the base game by adding tools, mechanics, and environments developed by third-party creators. The core framework supports mod integration through a simple folder-based system that allows players to add files without modifying the original build. These mods can include new extraction zones, custom cargo types, and even behavior changes for threats. Some mods alter audio sensitivity, visual clarity, or weight calibration, changing how players respond to physics-based transport. The game reads mod files on startup, so changes are active immediately once installed.

Mod Categories and Tools

Mods fall into several clear types: equipment packs, AI behavior modifiers, level extensions, and interface overlays. Equipment mods introduce new tools or alter existing ones, such as extending the grabber’s range or replacing the flashlight system. AI modifiers change how creatures track, react, or detect movement. Environment mods expand the range of available missions, often with non-standard layouts or object placement rules. Overlay mods adjust HUD elements, add motion trackers, or provide extraction timers. All mods are installed in the same directory but can be enabled or disabled from a launcher tool.

Compatibility and Multiplayer Settings

Multiplayer mod support requires synchronization. Every player in a session must have the same mods installed and activated. If discrepancies are found, the game prevents the session from launching. Mod authors often provide version tags and sync tools to simplify setup across teams. Some mods are marked as client-side only and affect visuals without impacting game balance. Others are flagged as core mods and affect item properties, AI paths, or mission timing, and thus must be present on all clients. Hosting modded games is possible through custom server lists or direct invites.

Among the most downloaded mods are those that increase map size, add more cargo objects, or create nighttime versions of extraction zones. A frequently used mod reduces environmental noise, helping players focus on coordination. Another popular tool is the Enhanced Lift mod, which changes the robotic arms’ strength calibration for heavier loads. A growing trend is player-made missions with custom AI behavior and win conditions. These mods often introduce unpredictable threat movement and unique object interactions, which change how players approach extraction.
