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

by Nicholas Apr 13,2025

In *R.E.P.O.*, a thrilling co-operative horror game, your mission is clear: retrieve high-value items and survive the ordeal. It's a challenging task with unpredictable monsters lurking around every corner, ready to spawn at any moment. Succeed in escaping with your loot, and you'll be handsomely rewarded by the game and the formidable AI Taxman. Use your earnings to bolster your survival gear, preparing you for the next harrowing journey.

To secure your haul, you must reach the Extraction Point, where your C.A.R.T of treasures is assessed, and the Taxman lets you advance to the Service Station, hopefully with enough cash to upgrade your equipment.

As you delve deeper into *R.E.P.O.*, mastering the extraction process becomes second nature. Initially daunting, it soon turns into a routine as you tackle more levels and fend off increasingly formidable 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 number can increase, with a maximum of four Extraction Points. Keep an eye on the red number in the right-hand corner of your screen to track how many drop-offs you need to complete, and how many you've already managed.

At the start of each level, the Extraction Point is conveniently located near your R.E.P.O. truck. This starting point remains constant, giving you a reliable place to drop off your first batch of valuables. Subsequent Extraction Points, however, can be trickier to find.

After your first successful drop-off, you'll need to navigate the rest of the level as usual. The catch? You won't know the Taxman's demands or the location of the next Extraction Point until you're in the vicinity. This is where your in-game map, accessible by pressing "Tab" on your keyboard, becomes invaluable. It helps you plan routes and explore uncharted territories, especially useful when playing with others to cover more ground simultaneously.

You'll discover the next Extraction Point either visually or by following the sound cues. Once found, press the prominent red button to determine if you've gathered enough items. If you meet the required number, place your C.A.R.T within the designated grey area to ensure none of your items are destroyed.

After completing the necessary Extraction Points, you'll either move on to the next one or make a dash back to the truck. Remember, once the final Extraction Point is cleared and your valuables counted, 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.

Now that you're well-versed in the art of extraction in *R.E.P.O.*, don't forget to explore our other comprehensive guides to enhance your gameplay experience.
