Tumble Climb & Tumble Grab explained

REPO isn't just about fighting monsters, it's about outsmarting them. One way you can do that is by fully understanding how to tumble. Tumbling is a silly but oddly satisfying mechanic REPO. At first it looks like your character is just curling up into a ball of metal and hoping for the best, but in reality, tumbling can save your life. Read on to learn how to tumble and how to use the Tumble Grab and Tumble Climb upgrades to save your life in REPO.

How to perform a basic tumble in REPO

Before you can tumble, you need to make sure the tumble button is set correctly. Press the Escape key to open the settings and go to controls. Confirm it Tumble is bound to the Q key. Once that's done, you're ready to start rolling.

To perform a basic tumble:

Sprint forward.
Jump (press the space bar).
While in the air, press Q to tumble.

Your character will shrink down to one small, round shapebasically a head with stubby arms and legs, and rapidly roll forward. This simple move can help you dodge attacks or even deal minor damage to certain enemies if timed correctly.

Tumbling doesn't cost stamina, making it one of the few reliable moves you can spam freely.

Tumble Grab, explained

The first new upgrade in REPOs Monster Update is Tumble Grab. When in tumble form, you can now grab items, items, and even weapons. When red outlines on the screen turn yellowit means something nearby can be grabbed.

Tumble Grab is useful in several ways. You can grab weapons in the middle of the game to defend yourself from the enemies. In fact, Tumble Grab can even help you resist attacks like Mentalist's Levitation.

Tumble Climb, explained

The other big addition is the Tumble Climb. Once unlocked, it allows you to climb in tumbling form, giving you more control over your condensed little body.

With the Tumble Climb upgrade in REPOyou can crawl up wallsdash across ceilings and chain together wall grabs to travel anywhere in a room. It's like turning your Semibot into a rolling grappling hook.

But yours stamina determines how long and effectively you can climb. The more stamina you have, the longer you can hang on and scale.
