In the thrilling co-operative horror game *R.E.P.O.*, your mission is clear: retrieve valuable items and survive the onslaught of monsters that spawn randomly across various locations. Successfully escaping with your loot not only grants you a sense of achievement but also rewards you with cash to spend on essential survival gear, all while keeping the menacing AI Taxman at bay.
To secure your earnings, you must locate and reach the Extraction Point, where your C.A.R.T. of treasures is assessed, and the Taxman determines your next move. With each successful extraction, you'll find yourself better equipped to handle the challenges ahead, turning what initially feels like a daunting task into a manageable routine as you progress through levels and confront more formidable monsters.
In your initial foray into *R.E.P.O.*, you'll encounter just one Extraction Point. As you advance to new locations, this number can increase, with a maximum of four Extraction Points currently available. 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.
At the start of each level, the first Extraction Point is conveniently located near your R.E.P.O. truck, a constant you can rely on for your initial haul. Subsequent extractions, however, require more strategy and exploration.
After your first drop-off, continue navigating the level as usual, but be aware that you won't know the Taxman's demands or the location of the next Extraction Point until you're in the vicinity. This is where your in-game map, accessible by pressing "Tab" on your keyboard, becomes invaluable. It helps you plan your routes and, if playing with others, allows your team to cover more ground simultaneously.
You'll discover the next Extraction Point either by sight or sound. Once located, press the big red button to reveal your fate and whether you've collected enough items. If you have, place your C.A.R.T. within the designated grey area to ensure all items are safely accounted for; otherwise, they risk being destroyed.
After completing an extraction, you'll either move on to the next point by repeating the process or attempt to return to your truck unscathed. Remember, after the final Extraction Point is found and your valuables are tallied, you don't need to bring the C.A.R.T. back to the truck; a new one will be available at the next location or level.
