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

Author:Kristen Update:Apr 09,2025

In the thrilling co-operative horror game *R.E.P.O.*, your mission is clear but challenging: retrieve valuable items and survive amidst a horde of randomly spawning monsters. Succeed, and not only do you escape with your loot, but you'll also be handsomely rewarded by the game's AI Taxman, allowing you to stock up on essential survival gear with your earnings.

To secure your haul, you must navigate to the Extraction Point where your C.A.R.T of treasures is assessed, and the Taxman decides your next move. With each successful extraction, you'll find yourself at the Service Station, hopefully flush with cash to spend on upgrades and supplies.

As you delve deeper into *R.E.P.O.*, what starts as a daunting task becomes routine. Mastering the extraction process is key to conquering more levels and facing down increasingly terrifying 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 up to a maximum of four. 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 accomplished.

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. After your first successful drop-off, the challenge intensifies. You'll need to navigate the level without knowing the Taxman's demands or the location of subsequent Extraction Points. This is where your in-game map, accessible by pressing "Tab" on your keyboard, becomes invaluable. It helps you plan your routes and, if playing with others, coordinate to cover more ground efficiently.

You'll discover the next Extraction Point either by sight or sound once you reach its vicinity. Upon locating 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 these steps or attempt to return to your truck unscathed. Remember, after 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 await you at the next location or level.
