REPO is already getting its first replace and it contains the characteristic all of us want most: a option to cease that duck from sabotaging our crew.
On Friday, REPO’s dev crew shared an early take a look at the viral horror recreation’s first replace since its early entry launch in February. While there isn’t any launch date for the replace but, we all know not less than a number of highlights which are on the way in which, together with a brand new map, facial expressions, high quality of life updates, and, most significantly, the duck bucket.
Watch On
I’ve misplaced depend of what number of occasions my mates and I’ve died in REPO due to the lovable, lethal duck. If you are in the identical camp, there’ll quickly be a treatment. As its identify suggests, the “duck bucket” is a bucket you’ll be able to place over the duck to cease it from following you round – or cease your teammates from by chance clicking on the duck and setting off its monster mode whilst you’re attempting to lug a vase to extraction.
On prime of that, the primary replace can even embody a brand new map known as “The Museum.” The devs hinted of their announcement video that this map will characteristic extra alternatives for parkour. So, if you have not misplaced a spherical of REPO to an ill-advised bounce but, you will get loads of probabilities to check your talent (and your luck) within the museum.
Some high quality of life enhancements are on the way in which, as properly, together with a visual border at extraction factors, which can mean you can clearly see when an merchandise is out of bounds. You’ll nonetheless die if you happen to’re caught within the extractor when it is activated, however not less than now you can also make certain all your hard-earned loot counts towards your quota as a substitute of getting destroyed for being simply exterior of the extractor.
The REPO devs additionally confirmed they’re engaged on public lobbies, following up on a request for participant suggestions from earlier this month. Right now, you’ll be able to solely play REPO with mates who even have the sport, so if you happen to’re solo, you are caught with nobody to play with. Luckily, public lobbies are on the way in which, but it surely sounds prefer it would possibly take some time for Semiwork to roll out the characteristic.
The devs defined of their announcement video, “As an awesome majority appears wonderful with matchmaking the place you’ll be able to both host public or non-public, along with a kick button, that is what we’ll be trying into. And for the sake of transparency, including a kick button would possibly sound like one thing quite simple, but it surely entails server coding, which is a complete new space for us.”
Even if it takes some time for Semiwork to introduce public lobbies in REPO, there’s nonetheless rather a lot to be enthusiastic about within the recreation’s first replace. If you have not tried out this whacky indie horror recreation but, now could be the proper time to present it a shot (or persuade your folks to). REPO has exploded over the previous few weeks, incomes 96% optimistic opinions on Steam since its early entry launch.
If you’re keen on Lethal Company or Among Us, REPO just isn’t a recreation you need to miss. It’s rapidly turn into my favourite horror recreation due to its hilarious physics and goofy robotic avatars—even when I do maintain dying to that duck.
