R.E.P.O. v0.5.1 is a small follow-up to the latest content update, and it’s mostly good news for gamepad players. Chat now works with a controller, and a long list of bugs has been squashed, including two Arena Race soft-locks.
New
- Optional keybinds (chat, expressions and voice chat) can now be unbound.
- Gamepad keybinds have been added for chat, push-to-talk and toggle mute.
- Gamepad text input now works for chat, and there’s a new rotation sensitivity setting.
Changes and balancing
- The enemy pony’s riding position has been adjusted, and the pony and its rider no longer collide.
- Maximum aim sensitivity on gamepad is higher.
- Some missing translations were added.
- The Valuable Manor Coffin is slightly smaller.
- The upgraded Cube of Knowledge is heavier in its final form, talks more often and attracts enemies from further away.
