In the thrilling co-op horror game, R.E.P.O., your primary objective is simple yet terrifying: retrieve valuable items and survive the onslaught of randomly spawning monsters. Successfully extracting your loot rewards you handsomely, providing crucial funds to acquire essential survival gear. The menacing AI Taxman oversees this process, ensuring your hard-earned cash is well-spent.
Successfully extracting valuable items involves locating and reaching the Extraction Point, where your C.A.R.T. (Cargo and Retrieval Transport) of treasures is tallied. The Taxman then allows you to proceed to the Service Station, hopefully with enough cash to upgrade your equipment. As you progress, this extraction process becomes second nature, transforming from a daunting task into a routine challenge.
How to Extract in R.E.P.O.
Your first R.E.P.O. run features a single Extraction Point. However, as you conquer more levels, this number increases, reaching a maximum of four. A red number in the top-right corner of your screen conveniently tracks the number of drop-offs required and those already completed.
Initially, the Extraction Point is conveniently located near your R.E.P.O. truck—a constant you can always rely on for your first haul. Subsequent Extraction Points, however, become more challenging to locate. After your first drop-off, the Taxman's demands and the location of the next Extraction Point remain unknown. This is where your in-game map becomes invaluable.
Pressing "Tab" reveals unexplored areas, aiding route planning and coordination with teammates. The Extraction Point's location becomes apparent either visually or audibly upon entering its vicinity. Once located, press the large red button to initiate the process. The Taxman will then assess your collected items. If you meet the requirement, place your C.A.R.T. within the designated grey area to prevent item destruction. Repeat this process for each Extraction Point. Note that after the final drop-off, you don't need to return the C.A.R.T. to your truck; a new one will appear in the next location.
