Core Gameplay Mechanics
R.E.P.O.'s core loop revolves around three key phases: Exploration, Transport, and Extraction. Each phase requires precise teamwork.
Exploration Phase
After entering a level, your team must search the darkness for items marked with monetary value. These items are scattered throughout the map, some hidden in drawers, cabinets, or secret rooms. Use your flashlight, but be aware that light attracts certain monsters.
Transport Phase
Once items are found, you must use the physics engine to transport them to the extraction point. Items vary in weight and shape: small items can be carried solo, while large furniture requires multiple players. Noise generated during transport attracts monsters, so balancing speed and stealth is crucial.
Extraction Phase
When you've collected enough valuable items or time is running out, the team must reach the extraction point. The extraction elevator has a weight limit, so plan your carried items carefully. Players knocked down by monsters will drop their items and require rescue.

FAQ
Is cross-platform multiplayer supported?
Currently R.E.P.O. only supports Steam platform multiplayer. Cross-platform functionality is being evaluated for future updates.
Can I play solo?
Yes, but it's extremely difficult. The game is designed around co-op play. Solo mode does not adjust monster numbers or item weights. We recommend at least 2-3 players.
How do I reduce transport noise?
Crouch while moving (Ctrl key) to significantly reduce noise. Use Sound Dampener pads to eliminate transport noise completely. Avoid running or throwing items near monsters.
How do I rescue a downed teammate?
Teammates must reach the downed player within 90 seconds and hold the interact key to revive. If not rescued in time, the player dies for the round and all carried items are dropped.
What's the best team composition?
We recommend 2 Scouts (high mobility), 2 Carriers (strength-focused), 1 Watcher (monitors monsters), and 1 Support (carries medical supplies). Adjust based on the level.
