REPO: 7 Beginner Tips to Help You Survive Longer

These beginner tips for REPO might help players clear levels more easily as they fight against terrifying monsters and claim valuables for the quota.

Use All Your Free Daily Draws

Every day, players have the right to make up to five Free Recruit Attempts at their Helipads. Using Advanced Flare Guns (Blue), they can summon reinforcements in the gacha system of Resident Evil Survival Unit. The rewards will depend on the player’s luck, but they can obtain from Speed Up boosters to Character Files (used to unlock characters) or fully unlocked Characters.

If players redraw already obtained characters, these will automatically convert into Files needed to upgrade the Hero Stars, which boost Heroes’ abilities considerably. Players should also know that Free Daily Draws have a 5-minute cooldown between each other, so they’ll need to play at least 25 minutes per day (or return 5 times every 5 minutes) to get all Free Draws.

Prioritize Leveling Up Higher Tier Characters

In RE: Survival Unit, resources are scarce, so leveling up characters that are not so good (Blue Tier) is a mistake that will snowball later and end up weakening the players’ squad. Instead, players should invest all their resources in making sure their Epic or Legendary (Purple and Yellow) grade Heroes progress further.

From Character Levels to Hero Stars, every upgrade counts to increase Survivor’s Combat Power, which is needed to beat most of the challenges in the game. Plus, participating in Exploration and Radar Missions with certain Heroes, will have a chance to yield Skill Boost items and Character Files to keep progressing their abilities.

Turn The Auto-Rally Feature On

Once players join an Alliance, they will start to participate in many Social Activities like Raids, and Rallies to defend Alliance structures and bases of operation. The Auto-Rally feature, when active, ensures that the players’ squad is deployed to these rallies even while they’re offline.

Having this activated is a must to avoid missing contribution points for the many social activities this game has, and to make sure every players in the Alliance collaborates to the fullest to achieve better results.

Check The Troops’ Status Often To Detect Infected

When players start training troops in their Barracks and Garages, they will increase their Combat Power by the heaps, and also create an army to send on Radar Missions, which are one of the 4X features the game has. Radar Missions are cool because they can yield lots of important resources that players can use to upgrade their bases and characters.

The problem is, some of these troops might get injured despite winning the battles, and these can be healed at the Hospital in the base, although they can get infected, and that’s when things get really complicated. Not healing the troops in time might result in more than just simple morale loss, and infected Soldiers will drag down more and more survivors with them. So pay attention to their status before it’s too late.

Don’t Waste Precious Resources In Speeding Up The Wrong Actions

From all the possible currencies obtainable in Resident Evil Survivor Unit, Diamonds and Speed Boosters are by far the most scarce and useful. Spending Diamonds in speeding up is a mistake, more so when players have Speed Boosters, while using Speed Boosters or Diamonds in actions like accelerating March in Radar Missions is a dire mistake that will cripple the players’ capability to save these precious resources for important uses.

Research Speed Up is another resource that players shouldn’t use lightly, as there are only a few ways to obtain them (using Diamonds, or completing objectives during Events), so don’t waste them in just any Research, and target the ones that will boost the base the most.
