Frequently Asked Questions
What is R.E.P.O. and how do you play it?
R.E.P.O. is a co-op survival horror game by Semiwork where you and your squad (Semibots) extract valuable items from monster-infested locations. Use physics-based looting, coordinate with your team, and survive each extraction to earn credits for upgrades.
How does the extraction mechanic work?
Each run you enter a location, grab as many valuable items as you can carry (physics matter — heavy items slow you down), avoid or fight monsters, and reach the extraction point before time runs out. Failing to extract means losing everything from that run.
What are the best Service Station upgrades?
Prioritize Carry Capacity first (more loot per run), then Sprint Duration (escape monsters), then Scanner Range (spot valuables). Our Service Station guide has a complete upgrade priority list with credit costs.
How do you deal with each monster type?
Each monster has unique AI behavior: The Lurker is blind but hears footsteps (crouch-walk), the Charger telegraphs its attack (sidestep), and the Stalker tracks the noisiest player (use distractions). Our monster guide covers all 12 types.
Can you play R.E.P.O. solo?
Yes, but it's significantly harder. The game is designed for 2-4 players with squad coordination mechanics. Solo players should focus on stealth and pick only high-value light items. Our solo guide has specific builds and strategies.
