Completing a level in the cooperative game *R.E.P.O.* is a thrilling achievement. Once you and your squad reach the Service Station post-victory, you have the opportunity to enhance your arsenal with various weapons and upgrades, including the coveted Energy Crystals. Let's dive into what these crystals do in *R.E.P.O.* and the best strategies for acquiring more.
What Are Energy Crystals in R.E.P.O.?
Energy Crystals are vibrant, yellow gems available at the Service Station, making their debut after you conquer the first level or location. Priced between $7K and $9K, these crystals are most affordable early in the game when the difficulty level is at its lowest. If you've managed to navigate the initial challenges without too much damage from the monsters, you'll have a golden opportunity to stock up on them right away.
The crystals automatically appear in the container upon purchase and don't require manual placement in the truck. However, they do lose energy with use and have a finite lifespan, requiring replacement once they're depleted. Typically, one 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.
Energy Crystals are exclusively available at the Service Station, and their high cost means you'll need to be strategic. Scavenge and collect as many valuables as possible during each level to ensure you have enough cash to purchase these crucial items. Only by successfully completing a level with sufficient funds will you gain access to the Service Station, courtesy of the Taxman.
In particularly challenging locations, it's wise to focus on surviving with just enough money to pass the level rather than risking everything. Prioritizing survival over wealth accumulation can sometimes be the smarter move.
And there you have it—the role of Energy Crystals in *R.E.P.O.* and the strategies to acquire more. *R.E.P.O.* is now available on PC, so gear up and dive into the action!
