*R.E.P.O.* is a gripping co-operative horror game that challenges players to retrieve valuable items while surviving against an array of randomly spawning monsters. Succeeding in this task not only requires skill but also rewards you handsomely, as the menacing AI Taxman allows you to convert your hard-earned loot into survival gear at the Service Station.
Securing valuable items means reaching the Extraction Point, where your C.A.R.T. of treasures is assessed, and the Taxman grants you passage to the Service Station—hopefully with a substantial amount of cash to spend.
As you advance in *R.E.P.O.*, the extraction process becomes more familiar. What may initially seem daunting quickly transforms into a routine as you master more levels and overcome increasingly challenging monsters.
How to Extract in R.E.P.O.
In your initial foray into *R.E.P.O.*, you'll encounter a single Extraction Point. As you progress to new locations, this number can increase, with the maximum being four. You can monitor the required drop-offs by checking the red number in the right-hand corner of your screen, which also indicates how many have been completed.

At the start of each level, the Extraction Point is conveniently located near your R.E.P.O. truck, ensuring you know exactly where to deliver your first haul of valuables. Subsequent Extraction Points, however, can be more challenging to find.
After your initial drop-off, continue navigating the level as usual. You won't know the Taxman's demands or the location of the next Extraction Point until you reach the relevant area. Here, your in-game map, accessible by pressing "Tab" on your keyboard, becomes invaluable. While it doesn't reveal everything, it helps you plan your routes and, if playing with others, allows your team to spread out and explore more of the map simultaneously.

The next Extraction Point becomes evident either by sight or sound once you're in its vicinity. Upon locating it, press the big red button to determine if you've gathered enough valuables. If you meet the requirement, place your C.A.R.T. within the grey area to ensure no items are destroyed.
After completing the necessary Extraction Points, you'll either move on to the next one by repeating the steps or attempt to return to your truck safely. Remember, once the last Extraction Point is found and valuables counted, there's no need to take the C.A.R.T. back to the truck; a new one will be available in the next location or level.
