BetterReviveExperience is an R.E.P.O. resurrection and item protection mod that only needs to be installed by the homeowner, not other players joining the room.

Install

  • Install using r2modman or Mod Manager.
  • Depends on BepInExPack and REPOConfig.
  • Modify the settings in Mods → BetterReviveExperience. It is recommended to restart the game after modification.

Function

  • Original backpack items will be retained after death.
  • Storage items (Phase Bridge, drones, weapons, etc.) will automatically return to the original backpack when they are released due to being hit or rolled; they will also be recycled first when they die.
  • When you switch to an occupied backpack slot while holding an item, the item will be exchanged instead of throwing the item to the ground.
  • Support head button resurrection of dead players at extraction points, trucks, carts, shops and houses.
  • You can set resurrection conditions, team costs, resurrection blood volume and shortcut keys.

Install & use Install: BepInEx plugin

  1. The archive from playbuff is the mod itself — usually a BepInEx plugin (a .dll or a plugin folder once unzipped).
  2. Recommended: use a community mod manager (such as r2modman) — pick this game, import the mod, and the manager sets up BepInEx and its dependencies for you.
  3. Manual route: install the BepInEx loader in the game folder, then drop the unzipped .dll or plugin folder into BepInEx/plugins/.
  4. Launch the game — the BepInEx console logs every plugin it loads; seeing this mod in the log means it is installed.

Mods with listed dependencies need those installed too, or they will not load. Options are usually changed in-game or in the plugin's config file.

Install these first, or the mod will not work:
