In *R.E.P.O.*, a thrilling cooperative horror game, your primary mission is to retrieve valuable items and survive the ordeal. It's a daunting challenge with hordes of unpredictable monsters lurking around each corner. Successfully escape with your loot, and you'll be rewarded generously by the game and the ominous AI Taxman. These rewards allow you to stock up on essential survival gear, crucial for your ongoing adventures.
To secure your valuable items, you must reach the Extraction Point where your C.A.R.T of treasures is assessed, and the Taxman grants you passage to the Service Station. Here, you can splurge your hard-earned cash on upgrades and necessities. As you delve deeper into *R.E.P.O.*, mastering the extraction process becomes second nature, transforming what once seemed intimidating into a routine part of your gameplay.
How to Extract in *R.E.P.O.*
During your initial foray into *R.E.P.O.*, you'll encounter just one Extraction Point. However, as you advance to new locations, the number of these points can increase, peaking at four. You can monitor your progress by observing the red number in the right-hand corner of your screen, which indicates the total Extraction Points and how many you've successfully completed.

At the start of each level, the Extraction Point is conveniently located near your R.E.P.O. truck, ensuring a familiar starting point for your first haul. Subsequent points, however, are less predictable.
After depositing your initial C.A.R.T.-full of valuables, continue navigating the level as usual. The Taxman's demands and the location of subsequent Extraction Points remain a mystery until you reach the designated area. This is where your in-game map, accessible by pressing "Tab" on your keyboard, becomes invaluable. It helps you strategize your route and, if playing with others, allows your team to spread out and explore efficiently.

You'll identify the next Extraction Point either visually or by its distinctive sound. Once found, activate the big red button to discover your fate—whether you've gathered enough items. If successful, place your C.A.R.T within the designated grey area to ensure none of your valuables are destroyed.
After completing an Extraction Point, you'll either move on to the next one by repeating the process or attempt to return to the truck unscathed. Remember, after the final Extraction Point, you don't need to take the C.A.R.T back to the truck with you; a new one will spawn in the next location or level.
