Tumbling in R.E.P.O. might look ridiculous, but it’s actually a life-saving dodge maneuver—if used right. Instead of just curling into a ball for your friends to yeet, you can avoid damage by tumbling at the right moment... And with the Tumble Launch upgrade, it becomes an even better dodge… Or weapon…?

How Tumble Works

  • When activated, your character shrinks down, becoming mostly a head with tiny arms and legs.

  • If timed correctly, this lets you dodge monster attacks by shrinking just before impact.

  • Without upgrades, you stay in place while tumbling.

You can even do a little bit of damage to certain monsters when doing this right.

What the Tumble Launch Upgrade Does

  • Transforms tumbling into a dodge roll. Instead of just shrinking on the spot, you’ll roll away from attacks.

  • Increases movement distance. Lets you cover more ground when dodging.

  • Costs $4,000 - $5,000 but is worth every penny when something big is chasing you.

Why You Need It

Without the upgrade, tumbling is useful but limited. With it, you gain mobility, making it easier to escape tight situations. If you want a reliable way to avoid damage, investing in Tumble Launch is a smart move.

Final Blurb

Tumbling might seem like a joke at first, but with the Tumble Launch upgrade, it’s a full-fledged dodge roll that can save your life. If you’re tired of getting smacked around, start rolling instead of shrinking.
