If you're diving into the thrilling world of the cooperative horror game *R.E.P.O.*, a fun, physics-based retrieval game designed for up to six players, you'll want to ensure your progress is saved. In *R.E.P.O.*, you and your team explore various maps, locate valuables, and extract them. Here's a detailed guide on how to save your game to make sure your hard work doesn't go to waste.

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

One of the most frustrating experiences for any gamer is loading up their game, expecting to see their latest save file, only to find that all their progress has vanished. This can be particularly challenging with new games like *R.E.P.O.*, where not all games feature autosaves, and some require specific actions or locations to be reached before you can safely save and exit.

In *R.E.P.O.*, it's crucial to understand that the game autosaves only when you complete a level. There is no manual save option available. If you quit during a retrieval mission or die, which sends you to the Disposal Arena, your progress will be lost, and you'll have to start that level over. Upon death in *R.E.P.O.*, your save file is deleted, and exiting mid-level means you'll need to restart from the beginning of that level.

To successfully save your game, you must finish the level by delivering your valuables to the Extraction Point. Then, enter or find your way back to the truck and hold the message button above your head to signal the AI boss, the Taxman, that it's time to head to the Service Station. At the Service Station, you can shop for necessary items and then use the same button to proceed to the next level.

Once you've left the Service Station and arrived at your next location, it's safe to exit to the main menu or quit the game. The next time you or the host (if another player created the original save file) starts the game, you can jump back into *R.E.P.O.* as usual. It's important to note that the host is responsible for exiting at the correct time to ensure the game saves properly. When the host quits, all other players will be disconnected.
