R.E.P.O. Cosmetics Update: Full patch notes, listed

Since its early access release in February, 2025, R.E.P.O. has seen two big updates. But now it's time to hop back in, for the third huge update has arrived, and it's all about one thing: Cosmetics.

The last big drop for R.E.P.O. was the Monster Update back on Halloween, 2025. This added 10 new monsters, some being scarier than others. While developer, semiwork may appear slow on the development side from a non-fan perspective, the team has been hard at work behind the scenes and updates their Steam and YouTube channel weekly with Q&As and teasers of what's to come in future versions of R.E.P.O.; all in the pursuit to release this co-op adventure in alpha.

Here are all patch notes for R.E.P.O.'s Cosmetics Update.

All new content in R.E.P.O. Cosmetics Update (v0.4.0)

There are no new monsters in the v.0.4.0 R.E.P.O. The focal point of this update is—you guessed it—cosmetics. There are now over 500 items to unlock and "express yourself" with. No longer is the goal to purely extract Valuables for taxpayer money, but to add boxes to the long list while you navigate across perilous waters. Valuables equal coin while boxes amount to Tax Tokens. Accumulate Tokens and use them at the new Service Station.

New secrets await (secret shop entrance variety with new lore), perhaps goodies outside of the Duck Bucket and Human Grenades will be available for you to test out against those devilish monsters (and your friends).

An automaton-turned-shopkeeper works as Rob's overworked staff, CCTV installed to keep semibots in check. There's also brand new shopping environments (where you can reroll Upgrades and spend Tax Tokens), refreshing the quiet part between all the heavy-lifting and monster-killing. Just like the shop's items, the interior and exterior randomize each time you visit the Service Station, giving you a new area to explore that livens R.E.P.O.'s otherwise lifeless world.

There is now a new King of the Losers game mode called Race!, including the use of vehicles that seek to dethrone Mario Kart. Eight new items are now purchasable at the Service Stations. These include:

• Semibot Walkies: Walkie-Talkies to communicate with friends and counter the proximity chat.
• Vehicles: Scout and Hauler.
• Defibro: Revives the semibot with this item in the hotbar, bringing them back into action at the ledge closest to wherever they died. It makes traversing across gaps a helluva lot easier.
• Leaf Blower: Blows back monsters, semibots, items, and Valuables (can destroy items of value with fall damage and knocking into nearby structures).
• Staff: Roll, Zero Gravity, and Void.

Outside of new items to play with, the Charging Station has expanded, providing more space to charge items on a larger scale. Finally, the map now displays the level and moon modifiers on its UI, and you can now use the map while tumbled.
