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

Author : Joshua May 01,2025

In the thrilling co-operative horror game *R.E.P.O.*, your mission is clear: retrieve valuable items and escape with them intact. It's a daunting challenge, especially with unpredictable monsters lurking in every corner, but the rewards are worth it. Successfully escape, and not only will you dodge the menacing AI Taxman, but you'll also earn enough cash to bolster your survival gear for future expeditions.

To secure these valuable items, you need to reach the Extraction Point, where your C.A.R.T full of treasures is assessed, and you're cleared to head to the Service Station—hopefully with plenty of cash to splurge on upgrades.

As you advance in *R.E.P.O.*, what starts as a challenging extraction process becomes routine. You'll conquer more levels and face tougher monsters, making the process second nature.

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

In your initial round of *R.E.P.O.*, you'll find just one Extraction Point. As you progress to new locations, this number can increase up to a maximum of four. Keep track of how many drop-offs you need to complete by checking the red number in the right-hand corner of your screen, which also indicates 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, ensuring you know exactly where to return your initial haul. Subsequent points, however, are less predictable.

After dropping off your first C.A.R.T-load, you'll need to navigate the rest of the level. Here, the Taxman's demands become a mystery, and you won't know where to drop off next. This is where your in-game map becomes invaluable. By pressing "Tab" on your keyboard, you can view unexplored areas, helping you plan routes and, if playing with others, coordinate to cover more ground efficiently.

Only when you reach the vicinity of the next Extraction Point will its location become clear, often signaled by sight or sound. Once found, 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 in the designated area, making sure all items are within the grey boundaries to avoid destruction.

After completing an extraction, depending on the number of remaining points, you'll either move on to the next one or attempt to return to your truck unscathed. 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.
