The third major update for R.E.P.O. is here, named The Cosmetic Update. The patch introduces items like Semibot Walkies, Scout, Hauler, and several special staves, as well as a game mode called Race within King of The Losers. It also includes quality-of-life improvements such as seeing the level and moon on the map, the character's shadow, and saving when exiting from the truck.
Technical Adjustments and Enemy Behavior Balance 🛠️
From a technical standpoint, The Cosmetic Update brings notable changes to game balance. Energy consumption while running has been adjusted, directly affecting resource management during matches. Additionally, the behavior of enemies like the Shadow Child and the Tick has been modified to offer more predictable encounters. The charging station has also been revamped, improving its functionality without altering its original purpose. These changes aim to refine the experience without breaking the established dynamics.
Now Even Your Shadow Follows You, Literally 👻
You can finally see your character's shadow. Yes, that dark spot that was always there but nobody saw. A technological advancement that will revolutionize the genre, like having a mirror on the floor. And if that wasn't enough, you can now save the game from the truck. Goodbye to rushing to the main menu like a desperate person. All this while you run slower, so you can enjoy the scenery and the bugs that now chase you with new routines.
