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

Author:Kristen Update:May 03,2025

In *R.E.P.O.*, a thrilling co-operative horror game, your mission is clear but challenging: retrieve valuable items and survive amidst a horde of randomly spawning monsters. The thrill of escaping with your loot not only tests your survival skills but also rewards you handsomely. The menacing AI Taxman oversees your progress, allowing you to stock up on essential survival gear with the cash you earn from your successful retrievals.

To secure your earnings, you must navigate to the Extraction Point where your C.A.R.T of treasures is assessed, and the Taxman permits you to proceed to the Service Station. Here, you can spend your hard-earned cash on upgrades and supplies. As you advance through *R.E.P.O.*, what initially feels like a daunting task becomes a routine part of your gameplay, enhancing your skills and confidence with each level conquered.

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 progress 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 those 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 Extraction Points, however, require more strategic navigation.

After depositing your initial C.A.R.T.-full, you'll need to explore the rest of the level 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 coordinate with teammates to cover more ground efficiently.

The next Extraction Point's location becomes clear only when you reach its vicinity, often signaled by visual or auditory cues. Once found, press the big red button to assess your haul. If you've collected enough, place your C.A.R.T within the designated grey area to ensure no items are destroyed.

After completing the required number of extractions, you'll either move on to the next point or attempt to return to your truck safely. Remember, after the final Extraction Point, 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.
