How to Obtain More Energy Crystals in R.E.P.O.

Conquering a level in the cooperative game *R.E.P.O.* is no small feat. Once you and your squad reach the Service Station post-victory, you'll have the opportunity to purchase various weapons and upgrades, including the coveted Energy Crystals. Here's a breakdown of what Energy Crystals are in *R.E.P.O.* and how you can acquire more.

What Are Energy Crystals in R.E.P.O.?

Energy Crystals are vibrant yellow gems you can find at the Service Station, becoming available after completing the initial level. Priced between $7K and $9K, these crystals are most affordable early in the game when the difficulty is lower. If you've navigated the early stages without taking too much damage from monsters, you'll likely have enough funds to stock up on these essential items right away.

Upon purchasing an Energy Crystal, it will spawn an Energy Container/Station within your R.E.P.O. truck. This addition is a game-changer, as it allows you to recharge essential tools like the Valuables or Extraction Tracker by simply placing them inside the container. This feature not only cuts down on the need for purchasing replacements but also helps your team save money over time. To recharge an item, place it in the bin marked with a yellow lightning bolt next to the container, and watch it power up, ready to face the next Clown, Gnome, or Shadow Child.

Once bought, Energy Crystals will automatically appear in the container, eliminating the need to worry about them not being in the truck like other items. However, these crystals have a finite lifespan and will deplete with use, eventually requiring replacement to maintain the functionality of the Energy Container. One crystal can typically refill four battery sections of an item, while 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 acquire Energy Crystals is through purchases at the Service Station, but be prepared for their steep price. To ensure you have enough cash, it's crucial to loot and scavenge as many valuables as possible during each level. Only by finishing a level with sufficient funds will the Taxman allow you access to the Service Station.

In particularly challenging locations, it might be wise to focus on just scraping by with enough money to advance rather than risking everything. Survival and strategic spending are key to maintaining a steady supply of Energy Crystals.

That's the lowdown on Energy Crystals in *R.E.P.O.* and strategies for acquiring more. Dive into the world of *R.E.P.O.*, now available on PC, and make the most out of your adventures with these game-changing resources.
