Armor

Description

Armor turns your Health and Strength upgrades into real survivability in R. E. P. O. Every combined level of those two stats shaves a percentage off the damage you take from enemies — so a tanky build doesn't just have more HP, it actually soaks hits better.

By default each combined level cuts 2% of incoming damage, up to a 50% cap, so a well-invested character takes roughly half damage from a hit. It reads your real upgrade levels through Character Stats, so it stays accurate alongside Improve and other upgrade mods — and it never makes you fully immune (a hit always lands for at least 1).

Every value is configurable, so you can make armor a gentle bonus or a serious tank build.

Installation Instructions

Manual install

• []Install BepInEx 5.x for R. E. P. O. if you don't already have it.[/]

  []Install Character Stats (required — it provides your upgrade levels).[/]

  []Download the latest Armor file from the Files tab.[/]

  []Extract the archive into your R. E. P. O. game folder (the one containing REPO.exe) so that Armor.dll ends up in BepInEx/plugins/.[/]

  []Launch the game once — a config file is generated at BepInEx/config/headclef. Armor.cfg.[/]

  Mod manager

  Installing through Vortex or a R. E. P. O. mod manager works too — it will pull in BepInEx and Character Stats for you. Just enable Armor.
