The multipliers a vehicle can be given
A vehicle can be given a multiplier for the force it applies as a bumper car.
A vehicle in R.E.P.O. can be tuned after it is built: the game keeps a multiplier for the force it applies as a bumper car, one for a side tackle, and a catch-up multiplier that can help a vehicle that has fallen behind.
What the game establishes
- A vehicle can be given a multiplier for the force it applies as a bumper car. (checked against the game's own files)
- A side tackle has a multiplier of its own rather than sharing the bumper figure. (checked against the game's own files)
- A vehicle that is behind can be helped by a catch-up multiplier of its own. (checked against the game's own files)
In play
A vehicle is not only a fixed machine. It carries multipliers of its own that change how hard it pushes, which is how the same vehicle can behave differently in a mode built around bumping into each other.
One of them is the force it applies as a bumper car. It is a multiplier rather than a flat number, so the effect is scaled against whatever the vehicle is already doing.
A side tackle is separate. It has its own multiplier rather than sharing the bumper figure, so a hit from the side can be tuned apart from a hit from the front.
A vehicle that is behind can be helped. There is a catch-up multiplier, which is how the game can let a crew member who has fallen behind keep up, and it sits on the vehicle as a setting rather than as a rule about the level.
What this entry does not tell you: how large any of these multipliers is, when the game applies them, or whether every mode uses them. We have not verified those, so we do not print them.
