R.E.P.O. Item Extraction Guide

Author : Penelope Update : Apr 01,2025

In the thrilling co-operative horror game *R.E.P.O.*, your mission is clear: retrieve valuable items and survive the onslaught of monsters that spawn randomly across each location. Successfully escaping with your loot not only feels rewarding but also allows you to earn cash, which you can use to stock up on essential survival gear. The menacing AI Taxman oversees your progress, ensuring that every successful extraction is a step closer to upgrading your arsenal.

To secure your haul, you must reach the Extraction Point where your C.A.R.T of treasures is assessed, and the Taxman permits you to proceed to the Service Station. With each successful extraction, you'll find that what once seemed daunting becomes routine as you master the game's levels and confront its monstrous inhabitants.

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

In your initial foray into *R.E.P.O.*, you'll encounter a single Extraction Point. As you advance to new locations, the number of Extraction Points can increase, with a maximum of four. You can monitor your extraction goals by checking the red number in the right-hand corner of your screen, which indicates both the total number of drop-offs required 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, providing a consistent starting point for your first haul. Subsequent extractions, however, require more strategy.

After depositing your initial C.A.R.T.-full, you'll need to navigate the level as usual, but without knowing the Taxman's demands or the location of the next drop-off. This is where your in-game map becomes invaluable. By pressing "Tab" on your keyboard, you can view unexplored areas, helping you plan your routes and, if playing with others, coordinate your efforts to cover more ground simultaneously.

The next Extraction Point's location becomes clear only when you reach its vicinity, either by sight or sound. Once found, press the big red button to learn your fate and whether you've collected enough items. If you have, place your C.A.R.T within the designated grey area to ensure all items are safely accounted for; otherwise, they risk being 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 Point is discovered and your valuables are tallied, 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.
