Extracting Items in R.E.P.O.: A Guide

Authore: HunterUpdate:Apr 15,2025

In the thrilling co-op horror game *R.E.P.O.*, your mission is simple yet perilous: retrieve high-value items and survive the onslaught of randomly spawning monsters to make your escape. Success in *R.E.P.O.* means not only surviving but also outsmarting the menacing AI Taxman, who rewards you handsomely for your efforts. With your hard-earned cash, you can stock up on essential survival gear, ensuring you're better prepared for future challenges.

The key to victory lies in reaching the Extraction Point where your C.A.R.T of treasures is evaluated, and the Taxman grants you passage to the Service Station. Here, you can revel in your success and spend your bounty on much-needed supplies.

As you advance through *R.E.P.O.*, mastering the extraction process becomes second nature. What might initially seem daunting soon turns into a routine as you tackle increasingly difficult levels and confront fearsome 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. However, as you progress to new locations, this number can increase, with a maximum of four Extraction Points. To keep track of your progress, look at 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 completed so far.

At the start of each level, the first Extraction Point is conveniently located near your R.E.P.O. truck, ensuring a consistent starting point for your first haul. However, subsequent Extraction Points can be more elusive.

After successfully dropping off your first C.A.R.T., navigating the level becomes more challenging. You won't know the Taxman's demands or the precise location of the next drop-off until you're in the vicinity. This is where your in-game map, accessible by pressing "Tab," becomes invaluable. It reveals unexplored areas, helping you and your co-op partners plan efficient routes and explore as much of the map as possible simultaneously.

Upon reaching the area of the next Extraction Point, its location will become clear, either visually or audibly. Once you've found it, press the large red button to learn your fate. If you've collected enough items, place your C.A.R.T within the designated grey area, ensuring all items are secure to avoid destruction.

After completing the necessary number of Extraction Points, you'll either move on to the next one or strive to return to your truck intact. Remember, after the final point is located and your valuables counted, you don't need to take the C.A.R.T back to the truck. A new one will always be available at the next location or level.
