Illagers

What's This Mod About?

Adds Minecraft-style Illagers to R.E.P.O.! Three new enemies — the Vindicator, Pillager and Evoker — plus the Vexes the Evoker summons and the Totem of Undying it can drop.

Features

Enemy	HP	Tier	Core mechanics
Vindicator	350	3	A fast, relentless chaser — it keeps coming for a few seconds even after you break line of sight. Damage ramps with every consecutive hit (30 → 60 → 120), and the last one turns you into a grabbable ragdoll. Whiffing that last hit resets the ramp to 30 — it is the only one that punishes a miss, since dodging the first two leaves the ramp where it is. Smashes valuables and carts that block its path.
Pillager	150	2	Holds its distance instead of closing in, picking you off with bolts. Bolts fly straight with no drop, and knock normal doors off their frames.
Evoker	250	3	Stays back and only starts attacking once you get close. Always opens by summoning 3 Vexes, then alternates between summons and fangs — a ring around itself at close range, a long line of them from far away.
Vex	15	1	Summoned in batches. Flies at you and slashes, but burns out on its own after 25 seconds.
Totem of Undying	—	—	A 20% drop from the Evoker. Revives downed teammates like the vanilla revival drone, but from much further away — and with less revive HP the more levels your save has cleared.

Installation Requirements

Dependencies

• Zehs-REPOLib (4.2.0)
• BepInEx-BepInExPack (5.4.x)

Installing the Mod

1. Ensure the above dependencies are installed in your game.
2. Download the mod and place it in your BepInEx/plugins folder.
3. Launch the game once to generate the config file (located at BepInEx/config/com.luca.illagers.cfg).

Config Options

The config file is grouped by mob — one section per enemy, so everything belonging to a given mob sits together. The three spawn toggles keep the original [Illagers] section, because they are the only keys that existed before this update.

[Illagers] — general

Option	Default	What it does
SpawnVindicator	true	Set to false and the Vindicator no longer spawns in levels
SpawnPillager	true	Same, for the Pillager
SpawnEvoker	true	Same, for the Evoker — this also removes its Vexes and the Totem of Undying
DebugLogging	false	Verbose logs, for bug reports only

[Vindicator]

Option	Default	What it does
VindicatorHealth	350	Max HP
VindicatorHit1Damage	30	Damage of the 1st hit of the ramp
VindicatorHit2Damage	60	Damage of the 2nd hit
VindicatorHit3Damage	120	Damage of the 3rd (final) hit. The knockdown is tied to which hit it is, not to this number, so lowering it never removes the knockdown

[Pillager]

Option	Default	What it does
PillagerHealth	150	Max HP
PillagerDamage	40	Damage of one bolt, to players and to other enemies alike
PillagerPreferredDistance	6	Distance in metres it tries to keep. Its approach and retreat thresholds follow this value automatically, so there is nothing else to keep in sync

[Evoker]

Option	Default	What it does
EvokerHealth	250	Max HP
EvokerFangDamage	50	Damage of a single fang, to players and to other enemies alike
EvokerSummonCooldown	20	Seconds between Vex-summon casts, counted from a successful cast
EvokerFangCooldown	5	Seconds between fang casts, counted the same way
EvokerEngageRange	10	How close you must be before it starts attacking at all. Keep this above the fang ring's outer radius (3m), or players in between never get hit
TotemDropChance	0.2	Chance the Totem of Undying drops on death. Keep it low while TotemRangeMultiplier is high — together they turn the Evoker into a money farm
TotemRangeMultiplier	5	Multiplier on the Totem's revive search radius (vanilla 3m, or 6m when everyone is down)

[Vex]

Option	Default	What it does
VexDamage	15	Damage of a single slash
VexAttackCooldown	6	Seconds between slashes. This is a lower bound: the real gap is max(this value, the Attack animation length), and that animation is about 0.8s, so anything at or below that changes nothing

• Vexes have no HP option on purpose. Their 15 HP is tied to their self-damage (5 ticks of 3 after a 20s grace period), and that arithmetic is what makes them expire on schedule instead of having to be force-killed.
• The spawn toggles only affect natural level generation. Spawn commands still work, so you can always summon one by hand.
• In co-op, every player must use the same config — these values are applied on each machine, so a mismatch shows up as different HP bars on different screens.

Playing Tips

• Vindicator: Do not let the last hit of the ramp land — it leaves you as cargo for whoever is still standing. Dodging it is worth doing: whiffing that hit sends the ramp back to 30 (the earlier two do not reset it), so slipping out of range or breaking line of sight buys you more than a moment.
• Pillager: Keep moving sideways. Bolts fly straight, and normal doors can be shot off their frames.
• Evoker: Its first move is always a batch of Vexes. They burn out on their own, so you can also simply wait them out.
• Totem of Undying: Revive HP shrinks the more levels your save has cleared, so a Totem found in the late levels is a much thinner safety net.

Playtesting

Supporting the Mod

This is a hobby, and it costs me real time and money to make these things. Illagers is and always will be free — but whether I can keep making new ones mostly comes down to how much support it gets.

No obligation — a kind word or a bug report helps just as much.

Notes

• Multiplayer Notice: For the mod to work properly in co-op, every player must have it installed. Otherwise, desyncs and unexpected issues may occur.
• If you encounter any issues or bugs, please include a precise description of what happened and your log file. A screen recording helps but is optional.

Enjoy the blocky menace of the Minecraft Illagers in R.E.P.O.!
