Hauler Overhaul
Vroom~ vroom baby! It seems like Taxman decided to upgrade your hauler, now it features automatic item vacuum, and a bottomless valuable storage capacity, but of course this upgrade comes at a hefty price tag.
Requires R.E.P.O. v0.4.0 (The Cosmetic Update) or later.
What it does
Automatic Item Vacuum
Drive the Hauler up to your loot, come to a stop, and the cargo bed automatically sucks in any valuable within 3 meters no more dismounting, no more manually shoving things in the back. Any size. Any value. Just park and collect. Can't collect taxman ram that's precious nowadays in the apocalypse.
No Size Restrictions
The vanilla Hauler only accepts small valuables. This mod removes that restriction entirely. Vases, flamethrowers, pianos anything it can take as long as it's vaulable!
No Capacity Cap
The vanilla cargo value limit is gone too. So go ahead and stack as much as you can physically fit on the hauler.
Balanced Price Tag
All this power costs $100,000 in the shop. You're going to need a good run and seriously save up before you can afford it.
How to use it
- Buy the Hauler from the shop ($100K)
- Drive it close to your loot
- Come to a complete stop the vacuum activates when it's stationary
- Items within 3 meters are automatically absorbed into the cargo hatch
- Drive to extraction
- Profit for taxman???
Compatibility
- ScaleInCart — compatible
- Custom valuable mods — compatible, the size filter is disabled universally so any modded valuable works
- Multiplayer — host-side mod, install on the host
- Other Hauler mods — likely incompatible. This mod patches several core systems on the Hauler (ItemValuableBox, PhysGrabObjectComponentInsideBoxChecker, ItemAttributes) and thus may conflict with any other mod that also touches the Hauler's cargo, price, or detection logic. If you experience issues, try running Hauler Overhaul on its own first to isolate the conflict.
Installation
Drop HaulerUnlimited.dll into BepInEx/plugins/ and you're done.

Install & use Install: BepInEx plugin
- The archive from playbuff is the mod itself — usually a BepInEx plugin (a .dll or a plugin folder once unzipped).
- 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.
- Manual route: install the BepInEx loader in the game folder, then drop the unzipped .dll or plugin folder into BepInEx/plugins/.
- 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:
