What Energy Crystals Do in R.E.P.O. and How to Get More

Conquering a level in the cooperative game R.E.P.O. is a significant achievement. Upon reaching the Service Station after your victory, you can purchase various weapons and upgrades, including valuable 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, cost between $7,000 and $9,000. Early in the game, when the difficulty is lower, they're usually cheaper, providing an opportunity 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. This container is crucial; it allows you to recharge tools like the Valuables or Extraction Tracker by placing them inside the container, near the yellow lightning bolt symbol. This significantly reduces the need for replacements, saving your team money in the long run. Get ready to tackle those Clowns, Gnomes, and Shadow Children!

Each Energy Crystal recharges approximately four battery sections of an item, and six crystals fully charge the Energy Container. While convenient, remember that Energy Crystals are not inexhaustible; they deplete with use and eventually break, requiring replacement.

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. Successfully completing a level with sufficient funds triggers the Taxman's transport to the Service Station.

During challenging levels, prioritizing survival and securing enough money to clear the stage is often wiser than risking everything for extra loot.
