R.E.P.O. Staffs: The Ultimate Guide to Magical Combat Tools

Why settle for melee weapons like an Inflatable Hammer or Frying Pan when Staffs in R.E.P.O. provide superior combat options? Staffs eliminate the need for mines, grenades, or over-reliance on drones to reach high-level gameplay. At the launch of the Cosmetics Update on May 7, three Staffs are available to test your magical prowess. Here’s how each Staff works in R.E.P.O.

Why Staffs Outperform Traditional Weapons and Drones

While Indestructible and Feather Drones remain popular for survivability, Roll and Zero Gravity Drones often gather dust in Service Stations. The Cosmetics Update addresses this by introducing Staffs that offer the same properties with enhanced battlefield control. Among them, the Void Staff stands out, mimicking Trudge’s mallet with a black hole effect to counter tough monsters and retaliate against his 100 damage attack.

How to Activate and Use Staffs in R.E.P.O.

Activating a Staff is simple:

  • Point the Staff toward the ceiling and press E.
  • The gem atop the Staff will glow and spark, indicating activation.
  • Rotate the Staff outward, no longer upright in front of you.
  • Aim your cursor at the target and press E again to shoot a projectile.
  • Repeat to cast spells onto monsters.

Warning: Staffs deal friendly fire and damage structures, including C.A.R.T., Valuables, and other objects. Avoid casting spells near valuable items to prevent destroying them and failing your quota.

R.E.P.O. Staff Guide: Types, Costs, and Functions

Staff Cost Charges (uses) Function Damage?
Zero Gravity Staff $28K–$32K 10 Lifts enemies caught in its circular radius into the air. Similar to the Mentalist’s effects but without the slam attack. This Staff deals no damage. Use it to escape tricky situations (e.g., dead-ends or exfiltrating to the Truck) or fling enemies into the air for follow-up firearm damage. Enemies may forget about you as their patrol path resets. No
Roll Staff $22K–$25K 10 Causes the same effect as the Roll Drone. If the projectile hits one or more enemies, they will roll. Use this to knock monsters off the map into death pits or ricochet them off walls for temporary damage from structures. Yes
Void Staff $16K–$20K 3 The Staff-equivalent to Trudge’s mallet. It doesn’t deal damage to singular monsters but causes knockback and collision damage when multiple enemies are caught in its radius. Use it when facing multiple monsters to make them collide with each other while providing an escape window. Yes (collision damage only)

"Staffs in R.E.P.O. offer unparalleled control and strategic advantages over traditional weapons and drones. Mastering them can turn the tide in even the toughest battles."

Best Practices for Using Staffs in R.E.P.O.

  • Escape and Control: Use the Zero Gravity Staff to escape dangerous situations or disrupt enemy formations without dealing damage.
  • Area Denial: The Roll Staff excels at knocking enemies into death pits or ricocheting them for structure damage.
  • Crowd Control: The Void Staff is ideal for handling groups of monsters, creating knockback and collision damage to thin their ranks.
  • Avoid Friendly Fire: Always check your surroundings before casting spells to prevent damaging valuable items or teammates.
