"Guide to Extracting Items in R.E.P.O. Game"

by Emma Apr 09,2025

*R.E.P.O.* is a thrilling cooperative horror game where your mission is straightforward yet perilous: retrieve valuable items and survive amidst an onslaught of randomly spawning monsters. Successfully escaping with your loot not only brings relief but also rewards you handsomely. The menacing AI Taxman calculates your earnings, allowing you to restock on survival gear with your hard-earned cash.

The key to success in *R.E.P.O.* is reaching the Extraction Point where your C.A.R.T. of treasures is assessed, and the Taxman permits you to proceed to the Service Station, hopefully with a hefty sum to splurge on essential gear. As you advance through the game, what initially feels daunting soon becomes routine, enhancing your skills in navigating levels and confronting monsters.

How to Extract in R.E.P.O.

In your initial foray into *R.E.P.O.*, you'll encounter just one Extraction Point. As you progress to new locations, this can increase up to a maximum of four. Keep track of your extraction objectives by monitoring the red number in the right-hand corner of your screen, which indicates both the total number of required drop-offs and how many you've already completed.

At the start of each level, the first Extraction Point is conveniently located near your R.E.P.O. truck, a constant you can rely on for your initial haul. Subsequent extractions, however, become more challenging as you're left in the dark about the Taxman's demands and the locations of further drop-off points.

After your first drop-off, continue exploring the level as usual. The in-game map, accessible by pressing "Tab" on your keyboard, becomes invaluable. It won't reveal everything, but it helps in planning your routes and, if playing with others, allows your team to cover more ground simultaneously.

The location of the next Extraction Point only becomes clear once you're in its vicinity, either by sight or sound. Upon finding it, press the big red button to learn your fate and whether you've gathered enough valuables. If you have, place your C.A.R.T. within the designated grey area to ensure none of your items are destroyed.

After completing an extraction, you'll either move on to the next point by repeating the process or attempt to return to your truck unscathed. Remember, after the final extraction, you don't need to bring the C.A.R.T. back to the truck; a new one will be available at the next location or level.
