Observe

Description

Observe is a small quality-of-life mod for R. E. P. O. that lets you reveal nearby valuables with a single key press.

Tap F and every valuable within 10 meters lights up with the game's own discovery marker — even the ones hidden behind walls, stuffed in a container, or sitting in a dark corner you'd otherwise walk straight past. After each use the ability goes on a short cooldown, shown by a clean on-screen bar so you always know exactly when it's ready again.

It's built to feel completely native: it reuses R. E. P. O.'s built-in "discovered" indicator, so revealed items look just like when you spot them yourself — no clunky custom overlay. And it's fully client-side: only you see your own reveals, and nothing is sent over the network, so it's safe to run in any lobby without affecting your friends or the host.

Less time sweeping every corner, more time hauling.

Installation Instructions

Manual install

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

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

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

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

  Mod manager

  Installing through Vortex or a R. E. P. O. mod manager works too — just enable Observe and make sure BepInEx is installed.

  That's it. Jump into a level and press F.
