Let’s dive into the madness.
Museum Mayhem: Welcome to Avant-Garde

Pulse Pistol: Think of it as your personal “get off me” device. It blasts enemies away, offering a brief respite from their relentless pursuit.
Boltzap!: A high-voltage weapon that delivers a shocking experience to any monster in its path.
Prodzap: Perfect for crowd control, this gadget keeps the creeps at bay with a jolt of electricity.
Duck Bucket: Yes, you read that right. This quirky item allows you to neutralize the formidable Apex Predator by placing a bucket over its head, rendering it harmless. It’s the kind of absurdity we live for.

Overcharge: No More Hulk Mode
The days of semibots effortlessly tossing monsters like ragdolls are over.
The new R.E.P.O. Overcharge mechanic penalizes prolonged grappling, forcing players to strategize their engagements. Hold on too long, and you’ll suffer a 20HP penalty.
It’s a game-changer that adds a layer of risk to every encounter.
Quality of Life Enhancements
The update isn’t just about new content; it also brings several improvements:
Public Matchmaking: Jump into games with strangers and make new friends—or enemies.
Region Picker: Choose your preferred server region for optimal connectivity.
Private Lobby Options: Set passwords and kick unwanted guests to maintain control over your game sessions.
UI Overhaul: Battery meters now display individual charges, making resource management more intuitive.
