The tumble climb feature in REPO allows you to reach new heights — literally. It’s not too difficult to unlock this ability once you know where to look, but be careful, as tumble climbing without practice may result in too much tumbling — and that’s unlikely to end well.
Here’s how to obtain REPO’s tumble climb ability and how to use it.
How to obtain tumble climb in REPO
Before you can use it, you must buy tumble climb at the Service Station (the item shop), which you’ll enter after every successfully completed mission. tumble climb appears as a blue upgrade package with a picture of a yelling player.
Since the Service Station’s stock is randomized, you aren’t guaranteed to find a tumble climb upgrade on your first visit, but if you do, the price should vary between $4,000 and $5,000.
As usual, after purchasing a tumble climb upgrade, be sure to consume the upgrade pack before heading into the next level.
How to use tumble climb in REPO
First, enter REPO’s tumble mode by pressing Q. Then, whilst remaining in tumble mode, left-click on a nearby wall to drag yourself upward. You’ll know you’re close enough to the wall when you see a blue visor. While scaling the wall, you will see a faint blue line between you and the grappling point, as demonstrated in the picture below. If you let go of the wall (release the left mouse button), you will drop down again.
Oddly enough, looking away from the grappling point will drag you higher. To make sure you reach the position you’re aiming for, and simultaneously keep an eye on your surroundings, it’ll help to look down as soon as you’ve grabbed the wall.
Tumble climb consumes stamina (the yellow “electricity” number in the top left), so if you run out, you won’t be able to use it anymore until you’ve recovered your stamina. Tumble climb can be a good way to reach higher ledges or hide from enemies, but dropping down (or rather the noise you make as you hit the ground) may inadvertently alert them.
As tumble climb is quite tricky, you’d be wise to try it out while still inside the truck — you don’t want to accidentally faceplant on a Birthday Boy, do you? You might even consider avoiding this REPO feature altogether until you’ve had the chance to grab some extra upgrade packages; buying and consuming extra tumble climb upgrades from the Service Station will boost its climbing speed and reduce its stamina consumption.
