R.E.P.O. New improvements and secret OP mechanic explained
This video explains the new improvements in the R.E.P.O. update, including Tumble Climb and Death Head Battery, and highlights a secret OP mechanic that allows players to grab objects while in tumble, making it easier to use weapons to escape enemy stuns.
1. 🧗 Tumble Climb Upgrade: Analysis and Stats
- ✅ The Tumble Climb upgrade allows you to climb walls while you're in tumble.
- ✅ It works similarly to Pathfinder's grapple in Apex Legends, requiring you to look where you want to go.
- ⚠️ Watch out for Huntsman, as he can hear you if you hit the ground.
- ⚠️ You can't use it if you have red lines around the screen (no stamina or being hit).
- ✅ Higher levels reduce stamina consumption and increase climb speed.
| Upgrade Level | Strength | Stamina Drain (per second) | Strength Gain (%) |
|---|---|---|---|
| 0 (Default) | 10 | 8 | 0 |
| 1 | 10.2 | 7.2 | 12 |
| 10 | 11.8 | 3.4 | 57 |
| 20 | 13.4 | 1.2 | 87 |
The upgrade is bad overall, but it can be useful for switching sides or if you're far from enemies.

2. 🔋 Death Head Battery Upgrade: Cooperative Mechanic
- ✅ The Death Head Battery upgrade only works in cooperative mode.
- ✅ After dying, a battery icon appears in the corner of the screen.
- ✅ The battery recharges 25% every 25 seconds and 100% every 100 seconds.
- ✅ After 25%, you can control your character, jump (holding space), and talk to your teammates.
- ✅ The upgrade increases the battery's duration.
| Upgrade Level | Full Battery Duration | Drain per Jump (per second) | Head Time (percentage added) |
|---|---|---|---|
| 0 | 25s | 4% | - |
| 1 | 26s | 4% | 4% |
| 5 | 30s | 6% | 4% |
| 10 | 35s | 6% | 4% |
| 20 | 45s | 8% | 4% |
After level 5, the numbers don't increase that much, and after 10, it's not very useful.

3. 💥 OP Mechanic: Grabbing Objects in Tumble
- ✅ You can now grab objects while you're in tumble.
- ✅ This doesn't overlap with your current strength; it has a default strength that you can't change.
- ✅ You can pull out weapons while stunned by enemies.
- ✅ For example, you can pull out a Proud Zap to stun a Mantalist and get out of the stun.
- ✅ It also works with the Hidden and the Heart Hugger.
