</>What does Respawn do?
Death in REPO is supposed to be scary and permanent. But what if it wasn't? What if dying was just a minor inconvenience, like stubbing your toe or forgetting your flashlight? Death Is Optional gives you complete control over mortality. Enable auto-respawn and watch your team pop back to life seconds after getting chomped. Turn on "No Game Over" and the level never ends, no matter how many times everyone dies. Need everyone back RIGHT NOW? Smash that respawn button. You can even choose whether players respawn at the level start (safe but far) or right where they died (convenient but probably still dangerous). And if you're feeling chaotic, there's a kill button. We don't judge. The reaper has been put on administrative leave. Your team is functionally immortal. The monsters are filing complaints.
</>What is Respawn?
Respawn is a community-first R.E.P.O. mod from ProjectMods that quietly takes death off the table. Dead players come back automatically, an optional No Game Over toggle keeps the level alive even if the whole squad wipes, and one-click actions handle mass respawns and unstucking. Permadeath? Never heard of her.
</>Common questions about Respawn
What does Respawn do in R.E.P.O.?
Respawn is a ProjectMods premium mod for R.E.P.O. that auto-revives dead players so a wipe doesn't end your run. The moment a teammate goes down, the mod brings them back — no extraction, no level reset, no waiting in spectator mode. With the No Game Over toggle on, the level itself keeps running even if your entire crew dies at the same time, so you can recover instead of restarting. Pair that with Respawn At Start to send revives to the level's entry point, or leave it off to drop people back where they died. The mod's nickname says it best in R.E.P.O.: Death Is Optional.
What's the Kill Myself! button for?
Kill Myself! is a manual action inside the ProjectMods Respawn mod for R.E.P.O. that instantly kills your own character on demand. It exists for one specific reason: getting unstuck. R.E.P.O. levels are physics-heavy, and it's easy to wedge yourself behind a prop, fall into geometry, or end up in a spot the game won't let you walk out of. Instead of forcing the whole crew to abandon the level, you hit Kill Myself!, the mod's auto-respawn fires immediately, and you're back in play — at the level start or where you died, depending on how you've configured Respawn At Start. It's a self-rescue button, not a grief tool.
What's the difference between Respawn At Start ON vs OFF?
Respawn At Start is a toggle inside the ProjectMods Respawn mod for R.E.P.O. that controls where revived players appear. With it ON, anyone the mod auto-respawns gets teleported to the level's start point — useful when the death spot is dangerous, blocked, or deep in enemy territory you don't want to drop someone back into. With it OFF, players respawn right where they died, which is faster for getting back to the action and recovering dropped loot, but riskier if the threat that killed them is still nearby. Most R.E.P.O. crews run it OFF for chaotic levels and flip it ON for boss areas where instant repositioning saves the run.
Does No Game Over keep the level running even after a full team wipe?
Yes. No Game Over is a toggle in the ProjectMods Respawn mod for R.E.P.O. that stops the game from ending the level when every player is dead at once. Normally a full team wipe in R.E.P.O. boots you back to truck or restarts the run. With No Game Over on, the level stays live, the timer keeps ticking, and the auto-respawn logic keeps trying to bring players back so the crew can recover loot and finish extraction. It's the toggle that earns Respawn its Death Is Optional nickname — your worst possible moment in vanilla R.E.P.O. becomes a setback instead of a reset.
Can I disable auto-respawn but keep the manual Respawn Everyone! action?
Yes. Inside the ProjectMods Respawn mod for R.E.P.O., the auto-revive behavior and the Respawn Everyone! action are independent. If you want a more grounded R.E.P.O. run where deaths still matter, you can leave the auto-respawn toggle off and only use Respawn Everyone! as a manual emergency button — the host triggers it when the squad agrees a recovery is warranted, like after a boss one-shots the whole crew. That gives you the safety net of an instant mass-rez without the mod silently undoing every individual death. It's a good middle setting for groups who want challenge runs but don't want a single wipe to nuke an hour of progress.
