Hunted

An asymmetric mode for R.E.P.O., inspired by Dead by Daylight. One player is the killer: invulnerable, fast and huge, playing one of two killers with their own powers. Everyone else is a survivor who has to fill the extraction points with valuables and escape in a truck.

Everyone in the lobby needs Hunted and MenuLib, on the same version. Install it from Thunderstore with a mod manager such as Gale.

How a round works

• The host is the killer, and picks which killer to play in the lobby. Survivors don't see the choice until the round starts.
• The killer starts in the killer room in the middle of the map, and survivors start far from it.
• Survivors need one completed extraction point per survivor, and there are spares. More survivors make a longer map.
• Once enough points are done, both trucks open. Survivors win when every living survivor is inside one. Nothing can hurt, push or tumble a survivor inside a truck.
• The killer wins by killing every survivor, or when the time limit runs out (15 minutes by default).
• Dead survivors leave a head that teammates can bring back, as in the normal game.
• Only small valuables spawn, and they respawn over time. There are no monsters by default.

The killer

• Cannot be hurt or tumbled, cannot sprint, and cannot enter the trucks or pick up valuables, carts or heads.
• Killer room: the killer always sees its corners marked through walls, in a light shade of their colour. The killer is faster and hits harder here, and any survivor inside is revealed through walls and on the map, until 3 seconds after they leave.
• Map: zoomed out, but shows no heads, carts, items or valuables. Survivors see the killer room like any other room.
• Falling: the killer floats back out of holes.
• Sound: the killer's steps, voice and weapons are deep and carry far.

Killers

• Skelespawn: a skeleton, white with red armour, red eyes and a red glow.
  • Sword (key 1): oversized and hurts only survivors, pushing them back. It runs on energy, which drains over time and with each hit, and recharges in the killer room. It can be stowed but not dropped. With the sword out Skelespawn walks at 75% of a survivor's speed, and stowing it gives back its full speed.
  • Bomber heads (key 2): three uses, and one comes back every 30 seconds. Throw one and it hunts the nearest survivor, then explodes for triple damage.
• Everseer: a druid in a mask and antlers, all purple, with purple eyes and a purple glow. Its killer room is purple. It has two abilities of its own:
  • Mask (key 1): one shot of the eye laser, and it only opens with a shot ready. As it opens the laser builds up, with the cart laser's build-up sound and the screen and eyes growing more purple. When it's ready there's a click and a strong purple throb, and E fires it at once: purple beams from its eyes for 2 seconds. They go through walls, hit hard, knock back and tumble. The mask closes when the shot is over. With the mask on the Everseer walks at 75% of a survivor's speed, and survivors see it glow purple, brighter as the laser gets ready. The slot holds 8 shots, one bar each. The charge drains slowly and recharges in the killer room, like the sword's.
  • Wand (key 2): the Staff of Seeing, a purple, quieter version of the game's Void staff that is always charged (no need to raise it). Where its shot meets a ceiling, wall or floor, a small eye is planted. Three charges, and one comes back every 30 seconds (twice as fast in the killer room). An eye is silent and shut until it sees a survivor, then it opens and watches them, revealing them to the Everseer until 3 seconds after it loses sight. It makes no sound and puts nothing on the spotted survivor's screen; they only know if they see it open. The Everseer always sees its eyes through walls, in purple.
  • Survivors destroy an eye by holding grab on it for 5 seconds, from any distance, as long as nothing is in the way. Bots destroy the eyes they notice.

How the killer finds survivors

• Standing survivors are always visible, even through walls.
• Crouching or tumbled survivors appear after the killer looks towards them from close by for a moment. Crawling takes much longer.
• Survivors beside or behind the killer, or farther than about 20 m, are not noticed.
• A survivor who takes damage is visible for at least 3 seconds.

Survivors

• Start with 200 health and slowly regenerate.
• Boost: when revived, or hit down to half health or less, a survivor runs without tiring and cannot be tumbled for a few seconds. Their screen turns gold while it lasts.
• Heartbeat: within about 24 m of the killer, survivors hear a heartbeat that speeds up as the killer gets closer.
• Chase music: when the killer has a survivor in sight up close, both of them hear a shock sound and then the chase music until the killer loses them.

Bots

A slider in the lobby adds up to 5 bot survivors, with any number of players. They gather valuables, sneak, flee, hide, carry heads to safety and escape in the trucks. They get hurt and die like players, and the killer has to kill them too. Players cannot grab them.

Playing

Singleplayer, Public Game and Tutorial are hidden while the mod is installed. Use Host Hunted or Join Hunted in the main menu, and disable the mod to play the normal game.

If you play alone, you are the killer and need at least one bot.

Settings

The config file is BepInEx/config/Prussian.Hunted.cfg. In a lobby, the host's values apply to everyone.

Compatibility

• Requires BepInExPack and MenuLib. Mod managers also install REPOConfig, which lets you change the settings in game; Hunted works without it.
• Mods that change the main menu, the lobby list, player cosmetics or level generation may conflict.
• Please send bug reports with the host's BepInEx/LogOutput.log.

• Everseer's laser does 30 damage instead of 40, reaches 22.5 m instead of 30, and takes 1.25 seconds to build up instead of 1.
• Everseer walks at 1.8 times a player's speed; Skelespawn stays at 2.
• New settings, adjustable in game with REPOConfig: each killer's walking speed, the bomber head and staff recharge times, and the laser's damage, range, build-up time and shots, and the eyes' sight range and hold time. Killer / WalkSpeedMultiplier is replaced by Skelespawn / WalkSpeedMultiplier; set it again if you had changed it.
• The killer hears their own sounds at normal volume; only survivors hear them louder. They still sound deeper to everyone.
• New setting Chase / Heartbeat: turn it off and survivors no longer hear the heartbeat.

0.3.0

• New killer: Everseer, a purple druid in a mask and antlers with its own chase music. The first killer is now called Skelespawn.
• Everseer's mask (key 1): one shot of an eye laser per opening. It builds up as the mask opens and fires with E once ready. It goes through walls, hits hard, knocks back and tumbles. While the mask is on, the Everseer's screen turns purple, it walks at 75% of a survivor's speed, and survivors see it glow purple.
• Everseer's wand (key 2): the Staff of Seeing, a purple, quieter Void staff that is always charged, whose shot plants a small eye where it lands. Eyes reveal the survivors they see, until 3 seconds after, and the Everseer sees them through walls. Survivors and bots destroy one by holding grab on it for 5 seconds, from any distance.
• A boosted survivor's screen turns gold.
• Survivors inside a truck can't be hurt, knocked back or tumbled.

• Only the inventory slots in use are shown: two for the killer, none for survivors. Items in use stay in their slot, brighter and bigger.
• The killer's sounds, now including their weapons, are deeper and carry further.
• Mod managers also install REPOConfig, for changing settings in game. Hunted works without it.

• The killer cannot grab valuables, carts, monsters or heads, and no longer sees grab indicators on them.

• The killer looks like a white skeleton with glowing red eyes.
• The killer floats back out of holes, and map hazards such as the Museum robot ignore the killer.
• Many balance values moved out of the config into the mod, and the remaining settings load their defaults from an embedded file.

• Shorter default log.
