Playing games with friends can significantly enhance the experience, but what do you do when there's a weak link in your squad? In *R.E.P.O.*, the challenging monsters mean that everyone can take turns being the one needing help. Here's a comprehensive guide on how to revive your teammates in *R.E.P.O.* after they've been taken down.
What to Do If a Teammate Dies in R.E.P.O.
When you start a round in *R.E.P.O.*, your health bar begins at 100. You can lose health from monster attacks or even from using items like Human Grenades. To regain health, you can use Health Packs found at the Service Station, or you can share health with teammates by approaching them and interacting with their health bar. This cooperative mechanic adds a unique layer to the gameplay, though it's a topic for another discussion.
Despite these health management options, the formidable monsters in *R.E.P.O.* can sometimes overpower your squad. When a teammate falls, you have two choices: wait for the round to end or take action to revive them. After a teammate dies, their head drops to the ground. You can pick it up, and the map will help you locate it with a small icon matching their character's color. However, retrieving the head is just the first step.
Where to Revive Teammates in R.E.P.O.
Once you have the head in your inventory, head to the extraction point. Place the head on the point, and if you've met the round's loot requirement (visible at the top right of your screen), your teammate will respawn with 1 HP. They can then enter the truck to gain more health, ensuring they're not a liability to the team. It's back to business as usual from there. But what if you can't retrieve the head?
If you're unable to reach your fallen teammate's head, starting a new round will also bring them back. This method is similar to *Call of Duty* Zombies, where dead players can return at the start of a new round. While this means your squad might be at less than full strength for the remainder of the round, it can be beneficial, especially for less experienced players. It gives them a chance to observe and learn from more seasoned players without being thrust into a challenging situation.
That's how you can revive teammates in *R.E.P.O.*. For more tips, check out what Energy Crystals do in the game and how to acquire more.
