There’s a wide variety of mods available for the multiplayer horror game REPO—some enhance gameplay with quality-of-life improvements, while others completely transform how the game is played. 

Most REPO mods can be found on Thunderstore, and you can use either the Thunderstore app or the r2modman mod manager to easily browse, install, and manage them—whichever you prefer works fine. Just be sure to check each mod’s description, as many require additional mods to function properly. 

Below, we’ve highlighted some of our favorite REPO mods and what they bring to the table, divided into three categories as cosmetic mods, upgrade mods, enemy mods, and quality of life mods for your browsing ease.

2. How to Install R.E.P.O. Mods

There are two main ways to install mods for R.E.P.O., and which one you choose depends on how hands-on you want to be.

Option 1: Use the Thunderstore Mod Manager

This is by far the easiest method and perfect for most players. You only have to install a third-party software, but it streamlines everything and ensures your mods stay organized. Here’s how to install it:

  • Download the Thunderstore Mod Manager from this link.
  • Open the app, search for “R.E.P.O” in the “Search for a game” bar, and click on the game’s profile.
  • In the top-left, select ‘Get Mods’.
  • Search for your desired mods (like the ones listed above), and click ‘Download’. You can also explore the full mod list or click ‘Website’ for more info.
  • Once installed, press the ‘Modded’ play button at the top of the screen to launch R.E.P.O. with mods enabled (as opposed to the ‘Vanilla’ version).

From there, you can manage your installed mods in the ‘My Mods’ menu—toggle them on or off as needed. Just be aware that some mods may conflict with others, so if something breaks, try disabling a few.

Most R.E.P.O. mods rely on the BepInExPack. This is usually auto-installed when you grab a mod with this dependency, but you can also search and install it manually just to be sure.

Option 2: Manual Installation

If you’d rather not install additional software, you can go the manual route—but it does take more time and effort.

  • Head to the mod’s page on Thunderstore.
  • Click ‘Manual Download’ instead of using the Mod Manager.
  • Carefully read the instructions for each mod—most will have different folders and file paths for installation.
  • Place the files in the appropriate directories in your R.E.P.O. game folder.

This method gives you more control, but it’s a bit more involved, and mistakes can lead to broken installs or crashes.

Whichever method you choose, once you’re set up, you’ll unlock a whole new layer of fun in R.E.P.O.—from extra cosmetics and quality-of-life features to chaotic new gameplay mechanics.

Have fun modding!
