Although the meta is set to change with the debut of Overcharge, no stat is more game-changing in R.E.P.O. than strength. After all, who needs a weapon when you can shake monsters until they meet their demise?
But how much strength do you need to do that? Here’s a complete overview of the Strength Chart in R.E.P.O.

R.E.P.O. Strength Chart
In R.E.P.O., you can boost your strength level from zero to any value you want by consuming upgrades, with each increasing your performance by a fair margin. Reaching levels 4, 9, and 13 will also boost the size of the monsters you can lift. You can take a better look at what reaching each milestone allows you to do below:
| Strength Level | |
|---|---|
| Zero | Apex Predators (if stunned), Bangers, and Gnomes can be lifted and shaken. Small and medium-sized objects can also be easily lifted. |
| 4 | Animals, Rugrats, Mentalists, Hiddens, and Clowns can be lift and shaken. Big objects become easier to lift. |
| 9 | Bowties, Chefs, Huntsman, Reapers, and Shadow Children can be lifted. Except for the former two, all monsters here take more than five hits to be killed. You also become able to quickly deal with large objects by yourself. |
| 13 | All objects and monsters in the game —except for the Peeper, of course— can now be lifted and carried. Raising the stat above the threshold will further increase your performance. |
Keep in mind that it is indeed possible to lift monsters while being at a lower Strength level in R.E.P.O., a feat you do by lifting them together with other players. The reason for that? The strength stats of all involved are added up upon each try. For example, if you and your friend are at Strength levels 4 and 5, get ready to bring the pain to all monsters found on the level 9 section.
How much does each Strength Upgrade cost?
Like all other types in R.E.P.O., you can only purchase Strength Upgrades while at a Service Station. The upgrades will initially cost from $5,000 to $8,000, with 6K being the most common value for us. As you advance in your run and visit the store more and more, however, their base and max values will increase, so don’t be alarmed if you find some costing 40K as you get closer to lucky number 13.
