Conquering a level in the challenging co-op game R.E.P.O. is a significant achievement. Your reward? A trip to the Service Station where you can purchase upgrades, including invaluable Energy Crystals. Let's explore 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 your first level, are a worthwhile investment, costing between $7,000 and $9,000. Early in the game, when the difficulty is lower, they tend to be cheaper, allowing you to stock up if you've had a successful run.
Purchasing an Energy Crystal adds an Energy Container to your R.E.P.O. truck—a game-changer! This container lets you recharge tools like the Valuables or Extraction Tracker simply by placing them inside. This saves you money on replacements and keeps your team operating efficiently. Just place your item in the bin next to the container (marked with a yellow lightning bolt) to begin recharging, and you'll be ready to tackle the next Clown, Gnome, or Shadow Child.
The Energy Crystal automatically appears in the container after purchase. However, their power isn't limitless; they deplete with use and eventually break, requiring replacement. A single crystal typically recharges about four battery sections of an item, and six crystals fully replenish 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 the funds, diligently collect valuables throughout each level. Remember, you only reach the Service Station after successfully completing a level with sufficient funds.
During particularly tough levels, prioritize escaping with enough money to clear the stage rather than risking losing valuable items and potentially your lives.
That's all there is to know about Energy Crystals in R.E.P.O. and how to obtain them.
