Reviving Teammates in R.E.P.O.: A Guide

Playing games with friends can significantly enhance your gaming experience. In R.E.P.O., teamwork is crucial due to the challenging nature of the game, where squad members can take turns being the one in need of revival. Here’s a comprehensive guide on how to revive teammates in R.E.P.O. after they've been taken down by the game's formidable monsters.

What To Do If a Teammate Dies in R.E.P.O.

When you start a round in R.E.P.O., your health bar begins at 100. You can lose health due to attacks from monsters or even from your own items, like Human Grenades. To regain health, you can use Health Packs found at the Service Station. Additionally, teammates can share health by approaching another player and interacting with their health bar. This cooperative mechanic adds a unique layer to the game, encouraging teamwork and strategic play.

Despite these health management options, the relentless monsters in R.E.P.O. can sometimes overpower your squad. When a teammate dies, their head falls to the ground, which you can pick up. Keep track of where your ally falls or check the map, which marks the head's location with a small icon matching their character's color. Locating the head is just the first step.

Where To Revive Teammates in R.E.P.O.

Once you have the head in your inventory, make your way to the extraction point. Place the head at the extraction point, and if you've met the round's loot requirement (visible at the top right of your screen), your teammate will respawn with 1 HP. They can then enter the truck to gain some additional health, ensuring they're not a liability to the squad. After revival, it's back to business as usual.

However, if retrieving the head isn't feasible, there's an alternative method. Starting a new round will also revive your fallen teammates, similar to the mechanics in Call of Duty Zombies. This method, while less ideal as you'll start the next round at less than full strength, can be beneficial in certain situations. It gives new or struggling players a chance to observe and learn from more experienced squad members, potentially improving their performance in subsequent rounds.
