How to use the Defibro in R.E.P.O.

Forget fancy Staffs that let you bring Hogwarts to Taxman's cruel realm for the R.E.P.O. Cosmetics Upgrade has added one thing in particular that I was looking forward to since its announcement trailer: DEFIBRO.

No longer must you rely on god mode or infinite-wealth-infinite-health mods to get you through tough times. No longer will you need to invite friends with bribes or threaten them with a good time. No, not while Defibro is around. This lil guy will become as important to you as Sam was to Dr. Robert Neville, the Infinity Stones were to Thanos, or Garrus to Commander Shepard.

Here is everything you need to know about the talented and sacrificial Defibro in R.E.P.O.

Costing an average of $44K to buy from any Service Station (when it eventually spawns in), the Defibro Revival Bot is a mix between a defibrillator and your favorite bro. Keeping you company at all times, the Defibro is a must-buy for brave semibots going into Taxman's land alone. It is, without a doubt, the greatest invention semiwork has come up with. This combat medic is actively searching for Death Heads to revive. It is the number one paramedic this year and every year to come.

It's best to have the Defibro in your hotbar at all times. You do not need to equip it to use its charge unless you're trying to revive someone else. If that happens, simply hold out the Revival Bot to the Death Head you're trying to revive to make it activate. Defibro will handle the rest. The Defibro also activates if it is loose on the ground, is equipped, or has fallen from a semibot's exploded body. It will bee-line to the nearest Death Head and shock them back to life (evidently, only a severed head is required to defibrillate). It cannot continuously search for dead semibots, however. Rather, it has less than a 10-meter radius to find and revive a Death Head in both single-player and co-op lobbies.

Defibro works for any semibots that have died during a match and does not limit itself to activating only when the entire lobby has become Fallen Ones. If it cannot revive a body that's fallen into a death pit, the bot will transfer and revive it at the Truck, making this item both a nuisance and a godsend (a combo that gives me whiplash).

The Defibro has a single-use per match (breaks once used) and restores 50 HP upon revival. While this is incredibly helpful, the dear cost of $44K makes it a necessity for double-digit levels where you're not short on cash. The bot's purpose is to help semibots avoid the Disposal Arena by granting a second chance to one player, nearest to its location. It's highly likely it will save whoever had last had Defibro equipped. Forget correcting an irregular heartbeat, the Defibro can revive things without a pulse. You can't get better than that.
