*R.E.P.O.* is an intense co-operative horror game where your primary objective is to retrieve valuable items and survive the ordeal. Sounds simple, right? Not quite. As you navigate through the game, you'll be constantly on the run from a variety of monsters that spawn unpredictably across the map. However, if you manage to escape with your loot unscathed, both the game and the menacing AI Taxman will reward your efforts, allowing you to stock up on essential survival gear with the cash you've earned.
Securing valuable items is just the beginning; the real challenge lies in reaching the Extraction Point, where your C.A.R.T. full of treasures is tallied, and the Taxman decides if you can proceed to the Service Station with your cash in hand.
As you delve deeper into *R.E.P.O.*, extracting items will become second nature. What might seem overwhelming at first will soon feel routine as you master the levels and outsmart the monsters.
How to Extract in R.E.P.O.
In your initial foray into *R.E.P.O.*, you'll encounter only one Extraction Point. But as you progress to new locations, this number can increase up to a maximum of four. To keep track of your extraction goals, look at the red number in the right-hand corner of your screen, which indicates both the total Extraction Points and how many you've already completed.

At the start of each level, the first Extraction Point will be conveniently located near your R.E.P.O. truck. This spot remains constant, making your first drop-off straightforward. But after that, the challenge ramps up.
After unloading your first C.A.R.T., you'll need to navigate the rest of the level as usual. The twist? You won't know the Taxman's demands or the location of the next drop-off point. This is where your in-game map becomes invaluable. By pressing "Tab" on your keyboard, you can view unexplored areas. While it won't reveal everything, it helps in planning your routes and, if playing with others, allows your team to spread out and cover more ground efficiently.

You'll only discover the next Extraction Point once you're in its vicinity, either by sight or sound. Once found, press the big red button to learn if you've collected enough valuables. If you have, place your C.A.R.T. within the designated grey area to ensure your items are safe from destruction.
After completing an extraction, depending on the number of remaining Extraction Points, you'll either move on to the next one by repeating the process or make a dash back to the truck. Remember, after the final Extraction Point, you don't need to return the C.A.R.T. to the truck; a new one will always be available at the next location or level.
