What Does Death Head Battery Do in REPO?

by

In REPO, dying isn’t the end! The new Monster Update lets you continue playing as a ghost, even after your robot is destroyed. You can possess a severed head, float around to confuse monsters, and chat with your teammates using nearby voice communication. It’s a fun and spooky way to stay involved even when you’re ‘dead.’ To really take advantage of this feature, you’ll need to upgrade your Death Head Battery in REPO.

Death Head Possession, Explained

Usually, when your robot body is destroyed, you’re left with just a head that can’t move or speak. But with the “Death Head Possession” feature, that changes entirely.

Once you open your character’s eyes, you can press E to take control of the head, switching from observing to playing as it. Then, you can use the spacebar to move around and talk to nearby players through voice chat. This makes your head a useful tool for helping your team by warning them of danger, pointing out where to go, or even distracting enemies.

How Does Death Head Battery Work in REPO

Your abilities in Death Head Possession are powered by the Death Head Battery. This battery limits how long you can move, talk, or scare people before needing to recharge. When you first become a ghost, your head will automatically start recharging, indicated by your robotic body’s eyes gradually opening. When the eyes are fully open, your battery is full and you’re ready to possess!

The battery doesn’t last very long, particularly if you’re walking or talking while using it. You’ll likely spend more time charging it than actually using it. While the device isn’t very smooth or fast, it still gets the job done.

In REPO, monsters are attracted to sound, so you can use your voice to distract them and lead them away from your allies. If a Huntsman is close by, for instance, making noise can draw it away, allowing your teammates to safely escape.

Your Death Head Battery starts with limited power, giving you only a short time to move and speak before needing to recharge. You can fix this with the Death Head Battery Upgrade, available at the Service Station. This upgrade lets you stay possessed for a longer period without needing to recharge.

Upgrading doesn’t speed up the recharge process – it still takes the same amount of time to fully power up. However, it significantly extends how long you can stay active – moving and talking – on a single charge. The more you upgrade, the longer you can remain active.

This is particularly helpful in the later stages of REPO, when players die more often and respawning takes longer. Rather than just waiting, you can still help your team by warning them about enemies, pointing out safe paths, or drawing enemy attention away from your teammates.
