Dive into the thrilling world of *R.E.P.O.*, a cooperative horror game where teamwork and physics-based gameplay come together for an exhilarating experience. Designed for up to six players, your mission is clear: venture into various maps, locate valuables, and successfully extract them. To ensure your efforts are not in vain, understanding how to save your game in *R.E.P.O.* is crucial.

How to Save Your Game in R.E.P.O.

One of the most disheartening experiences for gamers is discovering that their recent progress hasn't been saved. This issue is especially prevalent with new releases like *R.E.P.O.*. Unlike some games that feature autosave or manual save options, *R.E.P.O.* has its own unique system that you need to navigate carefully.

The key to saving your game in *R.E.P.O.* is completing the level you're on. The game autosaves only when you successfully finish a level. There is no option for manual saving, which means if you exit the game during a retrieval mission or if you die (sending you to the Disposal Arena), your progress will be lost, and you'll have to start that level from the beginning.

To save your game, you must reach the Extraction Point at the end of each level, deliver your valuables, and then enter the truck. Once inside, hold the message button above your head to signal to your AI boss, the Taxman, that it's time to head to the Service Station. At the Service Station, you can engage in shopping and other activities. To proceed to the next level, use the same button to signal your readiness to move on.

It's only after leaving the Service Station and arriving at your next location that it's safe to exit to the main menu or quit the game. When you or the host (if playing multiplayer) restarts the game, you can resume from the last saved point. Remember, if you're playing in a hosted game, the host is responsible for exiting at the right time to ensure the game saves correctly. Once the host quits, all other players will be disconnected.
