Indeed, survival in REPO can be quite daunting. Here, even the most vigilant gamers can face obliteration from fierce and untamed threats lying underneath the surface. Relax! Rekindling, or in simpler terms, reviving is very much possible. No matter if you are playing solo or have a team, knowing how to resurrect your mates can save you ample progress during the game. 

This guide will explain how detailed the revival system is, what the dangers are if you leave a squad behind, and how to make sure your allies come back at full vigor along with some important pointers.

How to Revive in REPO

Reviving in REPO is straightforward in theory but can be tricky in practice. Here’s what you need to do:

Step 1: Find Your Teammate’s Head

When a player dies, their body is gone, but their robotic head remains. The first step is locating their head somewhere on the map. Keep an eye out for it, as reviving isn't possible without retrieving it.

Step 2: Take the Head to an Extraction Point

Once you have the head, carry it to an Extraction Point. These designated locations allow you to bring your teammate back, but there's still more work to do before they respawn.

Step 3: Meet the Valuables Quota

Each Extraction Point has a Valuables quota that must be met before the revival process is complete. You’ll need to gather and deposit enough Valuables (the game's currency) at the Extraction Point.

Step 4: Wait for the Extraction to Finish

Once the quota is met, the shutter will close, signaling that the revival process has begun. When it opens again, your teammate will be back.

Step 5: Keep Them Alive

Revived players return with only 1 HP, meaning they are incredibly vulnerable. Even minor damage, like bumping into an object, can kill them instantly. To keep them safe:

• Share some of your health if you have enough to spare.
• Direct them to the truck (if nearby), where they can regain 25 HP for free.

What Happens If You Don’t Revive a Teammate?

Sometimes, reviving isn’t worth the risk. If a run is going south and staying behind could cost everyone’s survival, extraction might be the best option. Here’s what happens if you don’t revive a teammate:

• They will revive automatically at the shop after the run ends.
• They will start with only 1 HP, meaning they’ll need healing before the next mission.
• If you retrieve their head and return it to the truck, they revive instantly with 25 HP, saving money on healing costs.

Tips

In the event that reviving your teammate might endanger the rest of the squad, prioritize extraction. It is more optimal to lose one player than to wipe the entire run. Though, if their head is out near the truck and easy to reach, it is better to revive them to avoid unnecessary healing costs. 

Bringing back teammates in REPO is a carefully calculated decision of risk versus reward. It is always best to revive your squad; however, extraction is sometimes the best course of action. Monitor your resources, stay alert, and, most importantly, strategize with your team to maximize everyone’s survival for as long as possible.
