"Remember - it's the Eradicator fabrication plan we want, not the Reployer plan. Whatever the hell a "Reployer" is."

The Reployer is a device found on Talos I and Pytheas throughout the events of Prey and Prey: Mooncrash.

Overview[]

Reployers are devices that appear all around Talos I and Pytheas, usually in offices. The exact purpose of the device is unknown as even the TranStar employees can't tell what it is. Dayo Igwe sent an e-mail to Jorgen Thorstein to thank him for having received one but requested an engineer to come and show him how the reployer works. Gus Magill called Lane Carpenter to know more about a reployer that had been received in Cargo Bay, but Lane was unable to provide any explanation on the device either.

Notably, a Reployer produces an unusually large amount of mineral and synthetic Materials when recycled with a Recycler Charge, about 1.36 mineral and 0.46 synthetic per Reployer. If you have Leverage 2, you can stack up several Reployers to gain more than the 2 mineral and 1 synthetic material it would cost to make another charge, or you can stack broken Operators or Turrets on top of one for the same effect.

Trivia[]

  • The Reployer was almost cut from the game three times until eventually it was turned into an inside joke.
  • Reployers are actually modeled after the 1965 IBM 2540 card read/punch.[1]
  • In a AMA Raf Colantonio, former director of Arkane Studios said "Reployers: there are speculations that they are spy devices for the board of directors, so they place them everywhere to spy on people. Other speculate that they actually are part of the self destruction system and contain explosive... noone (sic) confirmed what they truly do ;)" [1]
