Diving into the cooperative horror game *R.E.P.O.* is an exciting venture for up to six players, where you're tasked with navigating various maps to locate and extract valuables. But nothing ruins the thrill quite like losing your progress. To ensure your hard work doesn't vanish into thin air, here’s a comprehensive guide on how to save your game in *R.E.P.O.*
Imagine the disappointment of launching *R.E.P.O.*, only to find your latest efforts unsaved. This scenario is particularly common with new releases. Not every game features autosave, and some require you to reach specific points or locations before you can safely exit. It's easy to overlook saving instructions, especially if they're not clearly presented.
When playing *R.E.P.O.*, remember this crucial tip: you must complete the level you're on for the game to autosave. There's no manual save feature, so exiting during a retrieval mission or upon death (which sends you to the Disposal Arena) means your progress is lost, forcing you to restart. Death in *R.E.P.O.* results in the deletion of your save file, and leaving mid-level requires you to start that level over.
To save your game, you need to finish a level or location. Once you've gathered your valuables, head to the Extraction Point, enter the truck, and signal the Taxman by holding the message button above your head. This action prompts a move to the Service Station, where you can shop and then proceed to your next level using the same button.

Upon leaving the Service Station, you'll reach your next location. At this point, it's safe to exit to the main menu or quit the game. When you or the host (if another player created the save file) relaunch *R.E.P.O.*, you can resume your adventure from where you left off. It's important for the host to exit at the right time to ensure proper saving, as this action will log out all players.
