In the thrilling co-operative horror game *R.E.P.O.*, your mission is straightforward yet fraught with peril: retrieve valuable items and survive amidst a barrage of randomly spawning monsters. Successfully escaping with your loot not only tests your survival skills but also earns you the chance to bolster your arsenal with survival gear, courtesy of your earnings and the watchful eye of the AI Taxman.
The key to thriving in *R.E.P.O.* involves mastering the art of extraction. Initially challenging, this task becomes routine as you progress through levels and confront increasingly formidable adversaries. Your goal is to reach the Extraction Point where your C.A.R.T. of treasures is assessed, and the Taxman determines your next steps towards the Service Station, hopefully with a hefty sum to spend.
During your initial foray into *R.E.P.O.*, you'll encounter just one Extraction Point. As you advance to new areas, 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.
Your first Extraction Point is conveniently located near your R.E.P.O. truck, ensuring you know where to return your initial haul. Subsequent extractions require navigating the level, with the Taxman's demands and the location of the next point remaining a mystery until you reach the vicinity.
Here, your in-game map, accessible by pressing the "Tab" key, becomes an invaluable tool. It helps you plan your routes and, if playing with others, coordinate efforts to explore as much of the map as possible simultaneously.
Upon reaching the area of the next Extraction Point, its location becomes evident either visually or through auditory cues. Once found, press the prominent red button to learn your fate and whether you've gathered enough loot. If successful, place your C.A.R.T. within the designated grey area to ensure all items are safely accounted for; otherwise, they risk destruction.
After completing the required number of extractions, you'll either move on to the next point or make a dash back to the truck. Remember, once the last Extraction Point's valuables are tallied, there's no need to return the C.A.R.T. to the truck as a new one will be available at the next location or level.
Now that you're well-versed in the extraction process, dive deeper into *R.E.P.O.* with our comprehensive guides to enhance your gameplay experience.
