5 Advanced R.E.P.O. Tips and Exploits for Surviving Smarter
Let’s be honest: most of us walked into R.E.P.O. expecting goofy chaos, only to find ourselves getting dropkicked by haunted evil ducks and smacked around by toddlers with telekinetic rage issues.
But fear not, my dear robo-looter.
If you’re tired of dying in increasingly humiliating ways, here are five advanced tips and tricks to flex on your squad and show the repo world who’s boss.
1. Despawning the Apex Predator
If you’ve ever been mauled by a sentient duck in a dead-end corridor and questioned every life choice that brought you there – I have felt your pain. But turns out, there’s a way to banish the Apex Predator to the Shadow Realm, and all it takes is one cheap chair and a little patience.
This is a little exploit that I actually found all on my own and haven’t seen anywhere else, so don’t mind if I take a moment to bask in my own awesomeness…ahh.
Ok, I’m all done.
Head into McJannek Station, lure the duck to one of the metal purple chairs that are usually around the tables, and crouch beneath it like you’re hiding from student loan collectors.
If done right, the duck starts bouncing and quacking like it’s doing interpretive dance. After about 20 seconds, it just…gives up on life. Spins in place. And despawns like it rage quit the server.
No loot drops, but hey – sometimes the peace of mind that comes from sending a demonic duck back to the bowels of hell is worth more than a loot orb.
2. Cart Magnet: Loot Like You’ve Got Telekinesis
Let’s talk about the cart. You know, the lovable jank-box that’s somehow both your best friend and worst enemy. Turns out, it’s got a magnet-like field above the cart that makes looting way smoother – if you’re not strong enough out here to drag heavy crates like a caveman.
Thanks to the brainiac, ThayFam, in the R.E.P.O. orbit – we now know that the storage compartment has an area above the cart that’s just enough to pull items with zero contact. No jumping. No awkward Tetris lifting. Just slide the cart below the item (for example on a table) and let physics do the work.
It’s niche, but in time-sensitive heists where you might not have enough strength and seconds matter with the threat of baby demons chucking microwaves at your face – this trick can make all the difference.
Master the cart, master the loot.
3. The Huntsman: Item Slaps and Laughs
Ah yes, the Huntsman: everyone’s least favorite aimbot cosplayer. If you’ve ever been double-tapped through a hallway while trying to eat a stale Twinkie, you know the pain.
But there’s hope.
The trick? Bait out it’s shots easily. While it is possible to slide underneath his shots (with a dash of luck), it’s much easier to grab an item lying around and just tap it on the ground next to him to make the blind hunter blow his load on the ground.
From there, you can pick him up if you have the strength, knock him over with a medium or large item, or handle him in any other way you feel like.
4. Mini Cart Mayhem: Stealth Speed Without the Cardio
Tired of burning through stamina like your character just chugged three Bangs and forgot how to breathe? Let me introduce you to your new best friend: the pocket cart. Yes, that tiny wobbly bastard that usually sits around like set dressing.
Turns out, it’s not just junkyard décor — it’s a god-tier stealth vehicle.
The pocket cart can be placed inside the regular cart and ridden across the map like some budget IKEA skateboard. With the right positioning and a little finesse, you can coast at speeds close to full sprint — all while using zero stamina and making almost no noise.
That’s right: no puffing, no panting, and most importantly, no aggro from enemies like the Huntsman who get triggered by every little footstep like they’re on high alert at a horror convention…as long as you don’t hit anything, of course.
Sure, it takes some practice.
Steering the thing is about as janky as you’d expect, and you’ll probably eat floor once or twice before you get the hang of it. But once you do? You’re zipping silently through danger zones, conserving energy like a repo ninja on an eco budget.
Use it in stealth runs. Use it when you’re limping from one side of the map to the other. Use it just to flex on your squad. The cart is no longer a meme; it’s a movement strat.
5. Weight > Size: Baby's Got Hands (and Projectiles)
Nothing’s more humiliating than getting one-shot by a toddler. But in R.E.P.O., the “baby” enemy isn’t just a visual gag – it’s a certified menace. And if you’ve been wondering why a flying lamp nearly ended your career, here’s the secret: it’s not the size of the object, it’s the weight.
Players discovered that object weight directly affects how much damage you take when enemies throw stuff. The Wizard Cube? That dense little bastard can do 255 damage when tossed. That’s basically a one-way ticket to spectating mode unless you’ve got tank upgrades.
Moral of the story: don’t sleep on the scenery. That bookshelf you left out in the open? It’s now a ballistic missile waiting to end your run. Secure your surroundings – or pay the price.
