All new R.E.P.O. monsters in v0.3.0
This is probably why you’re here, so we were sure to immediately jump into the game the second v0.3.0 dropped. We searched high and low for the 10 new R.E.P.O. monsters and found them all. Here’s a teaser of what you can expect:
| Monster | Threat level | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Bella | Low | A poltergeist riding atop a red bicycle. Don’t get in its way. |
| Birthday Boy | Low | A little boy happily blowing up his birthday balloons. Try not to burst them. |
| Cleanup Crew | Medium | Strange amalgamation of heads. Capable of regenerating itself after shooting its primary head towards you, which implodes shortly after being fired. |
| Dogly | Low-Medium | An aerial threat that scans a room with a green spotlight, lifting you into the sky and dropping you to your death. |
| Elsa | Low-Medium | Pet the dog. |
| Gambit | Medium | Forced to play a game with your life if you’re grabbed by one of these hand-like creatures. |
| Headgrab | Medium | A goblin that’s pretty good at martial arts. |
| Heart Hugger | Low-Medium | Pink hearts force you towards its way as you’re trapped in the Tumble Launch animation. It then transforms into a Venus flytrap when you get close, chopping down on its prey. |
| Loom | High | The scariest R.E.P.O. monster to date. A foreboding warning of hands on your screen appears before you see this tall creature, who knows where you are at all times. |
| Tick | Low | A relatively harmless bug that won’t hurt you unless you pick it up. |
Monster Update new content
The Monster Update has added new mechanics, upgrades, and expanded each map with new rooms.
The Death Head Possession allows you to control your semibot’s head, helping your teammates find it or to warn them of what killed you. This has a battery charge, meaning you can’t use it indefinitely.
A new Tumble Grab lets you grab objects, items, and weapons, making you more of a threat while evading monsters or hiding under cover.
Upgrades include the Death Head Battery, increasing how long you can possess your semibot head after death. Then the Tumble Climb! which helps you execute tight platforming.
The Swift Broom Academy has 24 new valuables and a new room. Headman Manor adds eight new valuables and two new rooms. McJannek Station sees 22 new valuables, but no new rooms. Finally, the Museum of Human Art has 20 new rooms, making this gallery look more like a refugee camp for semibots that’s since been invaded by monsters.
Outside of this, Steam shows the current level of a player and friends in a lobby appear as a group. You can now join a friend’s game via Discord. Any corrupted save files (which you can now name) are now saved and you can get them back via the Restore from Backup button. Lastly, you can now toggle on or off auto-grab with Item Unequip Auto Hold.
