The latest R.E.P.O. update is here, and it’s one of the biggest yet. Besides adding tons of new enemies, this patch introduces two powerful upgrades and several exclusive valuables that change how players approach exploration and survival.
If you want to know what’s worth finding, upgrading, or selling, this guide covers everything you need to know about the new upgrades and valuables in R.E.P.O.. Also check out our new REPO Monster Guide for those new to the game.
All New Upgrades in R.E.P.O.
1. Death Head Battery
The Death Head Battery is one of the most interesting additions in this update. It completely changes what happens when you die. Here’s how it works:
- After dying, your head will slowly recharge over time.
- Once it reaches 50% charge, press E and hold Space to move around using your head.
- With the upgrade equipped, the movement duration increases, allowing you to stay active longer before needing to recharge.
This upgrade is especially useful in cooperative runs, as it lets you scout enemies, locate loot, or distract monsters even after death. For solo players, it offers a creative way to explore safely before respawning.
2. Tumble Climb
The Tumble Climb upgrade adds more mobility to the player’s tumble ability. Normally, tumbling is just a quick dodge mechanic, but with this upgrade, you can move freely while in tumble form. While it may not sound overpowered, this new feature can be used creatively:
- Crawl under objects to avoid enemies.
- Stay undetected in tight spaces.
- Escape attacks from line-of-sight enemies.
It’s not game-breaking, but it adds a new level of flexibility for players who enjoy stealth and creative movement strategies.
All New Valuables in the Update
This update also introduces several new valuables that are map-specific, meaning some treasures only appear in certain areas. This change makes exploration more rewarding and encourages players to revisit old maps for new loot opportunities. Here are the two standout valuables:
1. Spider Potion
The Spider Potion is both fascinating and horrifying. When opened, it releases hundreds of spiders crawling all over your screen for a few seconds. While it doesn’t harm you, it’s a creepy visual effect that adds tension to your run. Use it carefully — it’s more of a collectible or visual experience than a practical item, and it’s not recommended for players who fear spiders.
2. Levitation Potion
The Levitation Potion is a one-time use item that creates a temporary zero-gravity zone. When activated, it allows players and nearby objects to float freely for a short duration.
This can be useful for:
- Reaching hard-to-access loot spots
- Evading ground-based enemies
- Having some chaotic fun mid-match
Because it’s limited in use, the best strategy is to save it for emergencies or unique mobility moments.
Other Notable Additions
Alongside these main valuables, the developers have also added new map tiles and environmental features, giving each area a more distinct atmosphere. Some maps even contain interactive elements tied to the new enemies and valuables, making exploration more immersive than ever before.
The new upgrades and valuables in R.E.P.O. aren’t just simple add-ons — they completely reshape how players explore and survive each level. The Death Head Battery turns death into a tactical tool, while Tumble Climb adds creative movement options. Meanwhile, the Spider and Levitation Potions give players new ways to interact with their surroundings.
If you haven’t tried the update yet, now’s the time to jump in. Experiment with the new upgrades, test out the valuables, and see how these changes fit into your strategy. With more updates planned for the future, this is just the beginning of a deeper, more unpredictable R.E.P.O. experience.
