Conquering a level in the cooperative game *R.E.P.O.* is no small feat. Once you and your teammates reach the Service Station following your triumph, you have the opportunity to enhance your arsenal with various weapons and upgrades, including the coveted Energy Crystals. Let's dive into the role of Energy Crystals in *R.E.P.O.* and explore strategies to acquire more.
What Are Energy Crystals in R.E.P.O.?
Energy Crystals, those dazzling yellow gems found at the Service Station, become available after you conquer the first level. Priced between $7,000 and $9,000, these crystals are most affordable at the game's outset when difficulty levels are lower. If you manage to navigate the early stages without significant damage from monsters, you're in a prime position to stock up on these essential items right from the start.
Once purchased, Energy Crystals automatically materialize in the container, sparing you the worry of them not being in the truck like some other items. However, their energy depletes with use, and they have a finite lifespan, eventually requiring replacement to keep the container operational. A single crystal typically recharges four battery sections of an item, while six crystals are needed to fully power up the Energy Container.
How To Get More Energy Crystals in R.E.P.O.
The only place to buy Energy Crystals is at the Service Station, where they can be quite expensive. To ensure you have the funds for these vital upgrades, focus on looting and scavenging as many valuables as possible during each level. Successfully completing a level with enough cash will earn you a trip to the Service Station, courtesy of the Taxman.
In particularly challenging locations, it might be wise to aim to finish with just enough money to pass the level, rather than risking everything. Prioritize survival and the collection of valuables to secure those crucial Energy Crystals.
That covers the essentials of Energy Crystals in *R.E.P.O.* and how to obtain more. Equip yourself with this knowledge, and you're set to enhance your gameplay experience.
