Conquering a level in the thrilling co-op game *R.E.P.O.* is no small feat, and reaching the Service Station post-victory opens up exciting opportunities to enhance your gameplay with various weapons and upgrades, including the valuable Energy Crystals. Here’s an in-depth look at what these Energy Crystals do in *R.E.P.O.* and how you can acquire more of them.
What Are Energy Crystals in R.E.P.O.?
Energy Crystals are radiant yellow gems that become available at the Service Station after successfully completing your first level. These crystals are priced between $7K and $9K, with the lowest prices typically occurring at the game's start when difficulty levels are manageable. If you and your team manage to navigate through the initial challenges without significant losses, you’ll have the chance to purchase these crystals early on.
Once bought, Energy Crystals automatically appear in the container, so there’s no need to worry about them not being available in your truck. However, keep in mind that they have a finite lifespan and will deplete with use, eventually requiring replacement. On average, a single crystal can refill four battery sections of an item, and six crystals are needed to fully charge the Energy Container.
How to Get More Energy Crystals in R.E.P.O.
The only way to obtain Energy Crystals is by purchasing them at the Service Station, which can be quite costly. To ensure you have enough funds, it’s crucial to loot and scavenge as many valuables as possible within each level. Successfully passing a level with sufficient money will grant you access to the Service Station, courtesy of the Taxman.
In particularly challenging areas, it might be wise to focus on escaping with just enough money to pass the level, rather than risking everything in pursuit of additional valuables.
That sums up the role of Energy Crystals in *R.E.P.O.* and how you can secure more of them to keep your adventure powered up.
