README
Shrinkinator
BepInEx mod for R.E.P.O. that adds a shop weapon: the Shrinkinator. A shot sprays green mist; anything in the cloud shrinks.
- Valuables shrink permanently (size and mass), down to a configurable minimum so they cannot vanish from stacking. Dollar value stays the same.
- Enemies and players shrink temporarily (20 seconds by default), then grow back. Shrunk players get a lower camera, smaller hitboxes, and shorter grab reach.
- Shrunk enemies are lighter and easier to grab (works like a strength upgrade: a short tug picks them up and briefly stuns). They are not hard-stunned by the ray itself.
- 6 charges via the vanilla battery (recharge at stations).
- Procedural retro ray-gun model (can be turned off in config).
- Multiplayer: Photon RPC. Every player in the lobby needs the mod.
Install
r2modman / Thunderstore Mod Manager (recommended), or manually:
- BepInEx 5.4.21 (x64), launch the game once.
- REPOLib 4.2.0+.
- Put

The gun shows up in the shop (weapons), priced 1.5× the vanilla pistol (configurable).
