Conquering a level in the cooperative game *R.E.P.O.* is a thrilling achievement. Once you and your teammates reach the Service Station post-victory, you have the opportunity to purchase various weapons and upgrades, including the highly valuable Energy Crystals. Let's dive into 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 vibrant yellow gems available at the Service Station after you've successfully completed the first level. These crystals, which can cost anywhere between $7,000 and $9,000, are most affordable at the start of the game when the difficulty level is lowest. If you've managed to navigate the initial stages without too much damage from monsters, you'll likely have enough funds to stock up on these crystals right away.
Energy Crystals automatically appear in the container upon purchase, so you won't have to worry about them not being in the truck. However, they do deplete with use and have a finite lifespan, requiring replacement once they break. Typically, one crystal can refill four battery sections of an item, and six crystals are needed to fully recharge the Energy Container.
How To Get More Energy Crystals in R.E.P.O.
Energy Crystals are exclusively available for purchase at the Service Station, and as mentioned, they can be quite expensive. To ensure you have enough cash to buy these essential items, it's crucial to loot and scavenge as many valuables as possible during each level. You'll only be sent to the Service Station by the Taxman if you pass a level with sufficient funds.
In particularly challenging locations, it's wise to aim to complete the level with just enough money to progress, rather than risking it all and losing your valuables in the process.
That's everything you need to know about Energy Crystals in *R.E.P.O.* and how to secure more of them. Remember, strategic planning and resource management are key to maximizing your gameplay experience.
