How to Get & Use Staffs in REPO

by

The recent Cosmetics Update for REPO brought new looks and vehicles, but also introduced three new staffs. These staffs are used by holding the weapon up to charge a crystal, then aiming and pressing the interact button to cast a spell. While each staff has unique properties, they all work similarly in REPO. When fired, a staff launches a magical projectile that applies a special effect to whatever it hits – enemies, objects, and even allies if they’re in the way.

All Staffs in REPO

After the recent Cosmetics Update, three playable Staffs are available in R.E.P.O.. Unlike before, these Staffs prioritize controlling enemies rather than dealing high damage.

Staff Price Charges Effect Best Used for
Zero Gravity Staff $14K to $20K 10 When fired, it creates a floating effect that lifts enemies into the air and leaves them helpless for a short time. Works best as a defensive tool instead of a finishing weapon in REPO. Players can use it to stop enemies from blocking narrow hallways, escape dead ends, or buy time during an extraction run.
Roll Staff $22K to $30K 10 This staff applies the same effect as the Roll Drone, forcing enemies to tumble uncontrollably across the map. Works best in tight spaces where enemies are more likely to collide with hard surfaces. Shooting monsters near staircases, corners, or railings increases the chance of extra damage. It becomes especially effective on maps with pits or elevated areas since monsters can be knocked straight off the edge.
Void Staff $22K to $32K 3 When activated, it creates a black hole effect similar to the attack used by Trudge. Nearby enemies and physics-based objects get pulled toward the center, causing chaos in crowded fights. Works best for panic situations. While it does not directly damage single targets, monsters pulled together can collide and hurt each other. This staff is very risky around valuables because it drags almost everything into its radius. Loot, carts, loose objects, and even teammates can get caught in the pull. Using it carelessly can destroy valuable items needed to hit quota.

Teams perform significantly better with ranged weapons like guns compared to close-combat weapons. Abilities that stun or slow enemies make it easier to land effective shots.

How Staffs Work in REPO

To use a Staff, first equip it and then aim it upwards. Hold down the “E” key to charge it. When the gem on top lights up and sparks, it’s ready. Then, aim at your target and press “E” again to cast the spell.

Staves are different from swords or axes – they’re best used to manage groups of enemies and keep some distance. Precise timing is crucial, as their effects can impact monsters, items, the C.A.R.T. system, and other robots all at once. A misplaced staff blast near valuable loot can quickly end your progress.

Staff abilities usually last for a few seconds, letting you create distance, move to a better spot, or combine them with more powerful attacks.

Staff weapons can accidentally hit your allies, so be careful where you aim. Casting spells near teammates can also harm them, so good positioning is key.

Are Staffs Worth Buying in REPO?

Good staffs can be pricey, but they really impact how a playthrough feels. Players who enjoy moving quickly, controlling the battlefield, and playing defensively will likely benefit from them more than those who prioritize dealing lots of damage.

  • The Zero Gravity Staff is the safest one to use because it focuses entirely on control instead of destruction. Since it does not damage valuables, many players consider it the most reliable support Staff in the game.
  • The Roll Staff is better for aggressive players who enjoy environmental kills and chaotic fights.
  • The Void Staff is incredibly strong in the right moment, but its limited charges and destructive pull make it more of a late-game luxury item than an essential purchase.

FAQs

How do you activate Staffs in REPO?

Lift your staff and hold down the ‘E’ key to power it up. When the crystal starts to glow, point at what you want to hit and press ‘E’ again to cast the spell.

Which Staff is the best in REPO?

The Zero Gravity Staff is usually the best choice for taking down enemies without risking damage to nearby objects or items.

Can Staffs hurt teammates?

Staff members can influence their colleagues, and certain ones can also harm or break things in the surrounding area.

Does the Void Staff instantly kill enemies?

The Void Staff doesn’t directly damage enemies. Instead, it draws them close, and they can sometimes be harmed or defeated by colliding with each other.
