*R.E.P.O.* is an enthralling co-operative horror game where your primary mission is to retrieve valuable items and survive the ordeal. This task is fraught with challenges as you navigate through environments teeming with unpredictable monsters. However, if you manage to escape with your loot, the game and the menacing AI Taxman reward your efforts, allowing you to stock up on survival gear with your hard-earned cash.
To secure these valuable items, you must locate and successfully reach the Extraction Point, where your C.A.R.T of treasures is assessed, and the Taxman permits you to proceed to the Service Station—ideally with a substantial amount of cash to spend.
As you advance in *R.E.P.O.*, mastering the extraction process becomes second nature. What initially appears as a daunting task soon transforms into a routine as you conquer more levels and face down increasingly fearsome monsters.
How to Extract in R.E.P.O.
In your initial foray into *R.E.P.O.*, you'll encounter just one Extraction Point. However, as you progress to new locations, this number can increase up to a maximum of four. You can monitor the number of required drop-offs by observing 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 Extraction Point is conveniently located near your R.E.P.O. truck. This starting point remains constant, ensuring you know where to return your first haul of valuables. Subsequent Extraction Points, however, can be more challenging to find.
After depositing your first C.A.R.T.-load, you'll need to navigate the rest of the level as usual. The catch? You won't know the Taxman's demands or the location of the next drop-off point. Here, your in-game map becomes invaluable. By pressing "Tab" on your keyboard, you can view unexplored areas, aiding in route planning and, when playing with others, allowing your team to spread out and cover more ground efficiently.

You'll only pinpoint the next Extraction Point once you're in its vicinity, either by sight or sound. Upon locating it, press the prominent red button to discover your fate and whether you've gathered enough valuables. If you have, place your C.A.R.T within the designated grey area, ensuring all items are inside to prevent them from being destroyed.
After completing this step, depending on the number of Extraction Points still to be found, you'll either move on to the next one by repeating the process or attempt to return to the truck safely. Remember, after the final point is found and your valuables are tallied, you don't need to take the C.A.R.T back to the truck; a new one will spawn at the next location or level.
