R.E.P.O. strength chart

Yes, R.E.P.O. is a horror game, but nothing is stopping you from becoming a nightmare yourself. Scare away the competition and easily complete your quotas by building your muscles to lift any monster to the nearest exit. Show them that it’s you they should be afraid of.

You can throw all but one R.E.P.O. monster off the map as the layout grows more complex in design from level six. This means you don’t have to buy weapons to make a difference in upcoming rounds or to increase those survival odds. Whether you’re playing alone or with friends, it’s best to cap out your strength so that you can pick up monsters to throw them to their deaths or slam them to the ground if a pit isn’t nearby.

Here is everything you need to know about strength in R.E.P.O.

How to kill monsters in R.E.P.O.: Strength requirements and monster chart

Having max strength means you can pick up most monsters without the need to stun them. This means you can save money for other upgrades, Drones, and Health Packs, as you won’t need to rely so heavily on Stun Grenades/Mines or the handy Tranq Gun to get you through every round. Max strength stuns monsters simply by interacting with their body (when your cursor turns yellow), letting you lift them as the enemy curls up into a frozen state.

Here is our strength chart for all R.E.P.O. monsters.

Monster	Strength Upgrade requirement	Do you need to stun?	Number of hits against the ground to kill the monster
Animal	Four	No	Five
Apex Predator	–	Yes. Clicking on this enemy will always aggravate him, bringing out the Apex Predator. You can use Academy Cauldrons, Manor Toilets, or the Extractor to defeat this evil ducky. Strength Upgrade won’t overrule his transformation. You can pick this enemy up with default strength after stunning him.	Five
Banger	None	No	Two
Bowtie	Nine	No	Three
Chef	Nine	No	Five
Clown	13	No	Six
Gnome	None	No	One
Headman	13	No	Eight
Hidden	Four	No	Four
Huntsman	Nine	Yes. Huntsman will still shoot if you click on him. Wait for him to trip to pick him up with ease.	Eight

While you can continuously upgrade your stats in R.E.P.O. by buying them inside the Service Station, each stat eventually caps out. You don’t need to upgrade your strength again once you hit 13 Strength. This is the max you need to lift all enemies, turning you into the monster they will now fear.

Monsters start spawning in abundance from double-digit levels. While the difficulty reaches its highest point at level 11, the game continues indefinitely (so long as you can survive each round). Extraction points also cap out at four per level, where the difficulty shifts to maneuvering around the map filled with death pits, lava and acid pools, and random holes in the floor in front of closed doors.
