How To Play ERPO – A Beginner’s Guide

The Basics

First, let’s explain how to play.

The Goal

The goal of ERPO is to enter a spooky property and repossess objects inside to make up your total. You do this by navigating the halls, finding valuables, and delivering them back to your employers without being blown up, smashed, torn apart, crushed… we could go on.

When you arrive at a level, you should see a total in the starting room, and on your HUD. You need to collect items equal to or above that value before you can leave. Simple, right?

Controls

The basic keybinds are as follows.

• Mouse – Move Cursor
• LMB – Interact with objects.
• E- Use Objects
• Shift – Run
• C – Crouch
• T – Open Map
• Y – Unlock Cursor

Machines

There are several machines that will help you achieve your goal of collecting the goods. Here we’ll explain each.

Van

This is where you spawn into a level, and where you’ll eventually spawn out. Once you’ve reached your total, you can activate it to leave. This will launch a short countdown before departing. You should make sure you’re in the van before it leaves!

Collection Machine

This large machine is the thing you use to trade in your goods. Place the trolley or any goods you want to cash in on the platform and retreat to a safe distance. If you, or any other players, are standing on it when it collects… well, you might need the next machine on the list.

Revival Machine

If you or one of your teammates has an unfortunate accident, you can bring them back… at a price. Place the player’s head and items up to the value displayed on the machine, and it will bring them back and let them keep on helping out the team.

The Trolley

This hovering trolley is a great place to safely hold all your loot. Interact with the hand icon on it to start moving the trolley. Place items inside it with LMB. Items will be relatively safe inside, and you can deliver the whole thing into the Collection Machine. Be careful, though, it can get stuck on things.

Collecting Items

As you navigate through the spooky house, your HUD will flag up items. These are the valuables you need to fill up your total. All you need to do is pick them up and deliver them to the collection machine. Be careful, though. If your valuable item hit against anything while you’re carrying it, that will damage the item, and lower its value.

Some good items to look out for:

• Diamond – Redeemable for a massive $7000 in good condition.
• Red Vase – Redeemable for $3500 in full condition.
• Banjo – Redeem for $5000, but be careful its awkward shape doesn’t hit anything.

Enemies

Here’s where things get a little more dangerous. You and your robot buddies aren’t alone in the spooky manor, as all manor, er, manner of nasty things can appear to ruin your day. Audio cues are the best warning that something is coming, at least until you can set up monster radars.

Avoiding the enemies is key, so try to gauge their paths around the house and avoid them where you can.

Equipment And The Shop

In between rounds, you will travel to Bloxman’s Shop. This place lets you upgrade your little robot, or buy equipment that can help you along the way. Take the item you want to buy, place it on the buying platform, and hit the red button. A bit like the collection machine.. stay away from it until the transaction is completed. Anything you buy will appear in the van when you start your next run.

Items available for purchase include:

• Grenades – Go boom.
• Land Mines – Set on the floor to give monsters a nasty surprise, but watch out for yourself.
• Enemy Radar – Pings if a monster gets into its radius, giving you an early warning.
• Health Kit – Restores your health.
• Weapons – Pick up and swing around to deal damage, be careful using this around your teammates.
