"Save Game Guide for R.E.P.O.: Simple Steps"

Author: Benjamin May 06,2025

Diving into the cooperative horror game *R.E.P.O.* with up to six players can be thrilling, as you navigate different maps to retrieve valuables and ensure their safe extraction. However, nothing is more frustrating than losing your progress due to not knowing how to save your game properly. Here's a detailed guide to make sure your hard work in *R.E.P.O.* is never lost.

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

It's a common nightmare for gamers to load up their game and find that their latest progress hasn't been saved. This issue can be particularly aggravating with new games like *R.E.P.O.*, where the saving mechanics might not be as straightforward as you'd hope. The game does not feature a manual save option, so understanding its autosave system is crucial.

In *R.E.P.O.*, you must complete a level to trigger an autosave. If you quit during a retrieval mission or die, which sends you to the Disposal Arena, your progress up to that point is lost, and you'll have to start the level over. Death in *R.E.P.O.* results in the deletion of your current save file, and exiting mid-level means you'll need to restart from the beginning of that level.

To save your game, you need to successfully finish a level by delivering your valuables to the Extraction Point. After doing so, you'll need to enter the truck or find your way back to it. Once inside, hold the message button above your head to signal the Taxman, your AI boss, that you're ready to move on to the Service Station. At the Service Station, you can shop and prepare for the next level. To proceed, use the same button to signal your readiness to move on.

Once you leave the Service Station and arrive at your next location, it's safe to exit to the main menu or quit the game. The next time you or your host (if another player created the original save file) starts the game, you can continue from where you left off. It's important to note that the host is responsible for exiting at the correct time to ensure the game saves properly. Once the host quits, all other players will be disconnected.
