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

by Anthony Apr 12,2025

In the gripping co-op horror game *R.E.P.O.*, your primary mission is to retrieve valuable items and survive the onslaught of randomly spawning monsters to escape with your loot. Successfully navigating this challenge not only tests your skills but also rewards you handsomely. The menacing AI Taxman tallies your haul at the Extraction Point, converting your efforts into cash you can spend on essential survival gear at the Service Station.

As you delve deeper into *R.E.P.O.*, mastering the extraction process becomes an integral part of your gameplay. Initially daunting, it quickly turns into a routine as you overcome various levels and fend off terrifying creatures.

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

During your initial foray into *R.E.P.O.*, you'll encounter a single Extraction Point. As you progress and conquer more areas, this number can increase up to a maximum of four. You can monitor your extraction goals through the red number displayed in the right-hand corner of your screen, indicating both the total points and those already completed.

At the start of each level, the Extraction Point is conveniently located near your R.E.P.O. truck. This constant starting point simplifies your first drop-off. However, subsequent extractions can become more challenging.

After depositing your initial C.A.R.T.-full of treasures, you'll need to explore the rest of the level as usual, without knowing the Taxman's demands or the location of subsequent drop-offs. This is where your in-game map becomes invaluable. By hitting the "Tab" key, you can view unexplored areas, aiding in route planning and allowing you and your teammates to cover more ground simultaneously.

The next Extraction Point's location only reveals itself once you're in its vicinity, either by sight or sound. Upon finding it, press the prominent red button to check if you've collected enough items. If you meet the requirement, place your C.A.R.T within the designated grey area, ensuring all items are safely inside to avoid destruction.

Once you've completed the required number of extractions, you either move on to the next point by repeating the process or attempt to return to the truck unscathed. Notably, after the final Extraction Point, you don't need to take the C.A.R.T back to the truck; a new one will spawn in the subsequent location or level.
