Read using standard-version shifts as the baseline

R.E.P.O. is a co-op horror game about physics-based valuable transport, completing required extractions, and returning. Progress depends on intact value delivered and remaining extraction points, not just what you picked up.

Amounts below are in-game currency, not real payments. Current purchase costs vary with players and progress, so use the displayed quote rather than old fixed price tables.

Choose the first check by problem

First distinguish cargo, extraction, and personal-state problems. Preserve a safe return route before following the relevant guide.

Choose the first check by problem: 7 entries
ProblemCurrent stateFirst checkGuide to read
Cannot lift an objectDragging it across the floorWeight, grab position, extra hands, passage widthBeginner: grab and carry

The same hiding method failsDifferent enemy encounteredIs sound or sight the problem?Beginner: enemy-specific exceptions

“Beginner,” “shifts,” and “tools” refer to related articles at the end. Physics hauling and extraction completion, and shop purchase and use, require separate checks.

Four displays to check on the first shift

Before collecting far away, learn to move one item near the exit without damage. The tutorial is also useful for confirming basic controls.

  1. Outside the truck, locate the cart, first extraction point, and return door. The current version disables the map inside the truck, so use Tab outside.
  2. Hold a nearby small valuable with left-click and carry it to the cart, adjusting orientation/distance with right-click and the wheel.
  3. Put the whole load inside the extraction platform and move off once the warning begins. Check remaining extractions afterward.

Four displays to check on the first shift: 4 entries
Display/landmarkWhat to readNext action
HP/staminaEscape capacity and damage takenStop sprinting somewhere safe and crouch to recover stamina. HP needs a separate recovery method.
Held item's valueCurrent value of the carried objectCompare before/after carrying and after collisions
C.A.R.T. screenTotal loaded valueCheck against the target and move cargo onto the platform
Target value/remaining extractionsIs the entire shift finished?Do not leave after one point; check the remaining count

Value when found can differ from final extracted value. Do not consider the job complete from the cart total alone.

Do not all react identically to every enemy

Checking the situation without adding noise and prioritizing survival over cargo are useful basics. However, “run immediately” or “under furniture is safe” cannot apply to every enemy.

Wide tables scroll horizontally.

Do not all react identically to every enemy: 3 entries
Confirmed exampleAvoidFirst behavior to change
Huntsman / armed opponentAssuming noise is safe after breaking sightIt reacts to sound; reach cover without adding footsteps/collisions
Robe / long-robed opponentTurning back and staring at its faceMove without looking directly at it; leave where it saw you
Unidentified enemyApproaching to test it while dragging heavy cargoPut the item down safely; check retreat and cover first

This is not a countermeasure table for every enemy. Sprinting and object noise matter as well as voice. Silence alone does not make you safe from every monster.

Decide who uses what before buying

Upgrades may use the team's wallet, but effects such as Health and Stamina generally apply to the individual who uses them. One upgrade does not simultaneously address a hauler's Strength and an injured player's healing.

v0.4.0 added shop visuals and features. Instead of searching old shelf positions, check names, prices, purchase platform, and truck loading.

FAQ

R.E.P.O. FAQ

Q1 Can I play alone? ▼
A

Solo is officially supported, but multiple people cannot jointly support heavy valuables. Prioritize light items and passable routes, choosing Strength or hauling aids as needed.

Q2 Do I need Japanese screens to use this guide? ▼
A

This uses the standard PC version whose official store was checked as English-only. English product/control names are included. Unofficial translation-mod displays and behavior are excluded.

Q3 Can I leave after one extraction? ▼
A

Required extraction count varies by shift. After the first point, check the remaining count and finish all before returning to the truck.

Q4 Does buying an upgrade apply it to everyone? ▼
A

Health, Stamina, Strength, and similar upgrades affect the user individually in the standard version. Payment and application are separate; the intended player uses the box in the next truck.

Q5 Is Tab not opening the map a bug? ▼
A

From current v0.4.0 onward, the map is disabled in the shop, truck, and arena. Check outside in the work site's exploration area, then inspect bindings if it still fails there.
