Conquering a level in the challenging co-op game R.E.P.O. is a significant achievement. Upon reaching the Service Station after your victory, you'll be able to purchase various upgrades and weapons, including the invaluable Energy Crystals. Here's a breakdown of their function and how to acquire more.
What Are Energy Crystals in R.E.P.O.?
These shiny yellow crystals, found at the Service Station after completing the first level, are a worthwhile investment costing between $7,000 and $9,000. Early in the game, when the difficulty is typically lower, they're usually cheaper, offering a great opportunity to stock up if you've had a successful run.
Purchasing an Energy Crystal adds an Energy Container/Station to your R.E.P.O. truck—a game-changer! This container allows you to recharge tools like the Valuables or Extraction Tracker by simply placing them inside. This significantly reduces the need for replacements, saving your team money in the long run. Just place your item in the bin beside the container (easily identified by its yellow lightning bolt) to begin recharging. You'll be ready to tackle the next Clown, Gnome, or Shadow Child in no time.
Once purchased, the Energy Crystal automatically appears in the container. However, remember that these crystals aren't indestructible. Their energy depletes with use, and eventually, they break, requiring replacement to continue using the container. Approximately one crystal refills four battery sections of an item, and six crystals fully charge the Energy Container.
How To Get More Energy Crystals in R.E.P.O.
Energy Crystals are exclusively purchased at the Service Station, and as mentioned, they can be expensive. To ensure you have enough funds, diligently collect valuables throughout each level. Only after successfully completing a level with sufficient funds will the Taxman transport you to the Service Station.
During particularly challenging levels, consider prioritizing survival and securing enough funds to clear the stage, rather than risking losing valuable items and cash.
That's everything you need to know about Energy Crystals in R.E.P.O. and how to obtain them.
