How to Boost Energy with Crystals in R.E.O.P.

Conquering a level in the cooperative game *R.E.P.O.* is a thrilling achievement. Once you and your team reach the Service Station post-victory, you have the opportunity to purchase various weapons and upgrades, including the coveted Energy Crystals. Here's a deep dive into what 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 radiant yellow gems found at the Service Station, available for purchase after you complete your first level. These valuable items range in price from $7,000 to $9,000. They're most affordable early in the game when the difficulty is at its lowest, so it's advantageous to buy them as soon as possible if you've managed to navigate the initial challenges without too much damage.

Once you've invested in an Energy Crystal, it triggers the appearance of an Energy Container/Station within your R.E.P.O. truck. This container is a pivotal asset, enabling you to recharge essential tools like the Valuables or Extraction Tracker. By simply placing these tools in the bin marked with a yellow lightning bolt next to the container, they begin to recharge, saving your team money and reducing the need for frequent replacements. This feature is crucial as you prepare to face formidable foes such as Clowns, Gnomes, or Shadow Children.

Energy Crystals will automatically materialize in the container upon purchase, eliminating any concern about them not being available in your truck. However, these crystals have a limited lifespan and will eventually deplete and break after repeated use. On average, one crystal can recharge four battery sections of an item, and six crystals are sufficient to fully replenish the Energy Container.

How To Get More Energy Crystals in R.E.P.O.

The only place to acquire Energy Crystals is at the Service Station, and as noted, they can be quite costly. To ensure you have enough funds to purchase these essential items, it's crucial to loot and scavenge as many valuables as possible during each level. Successfully completing a level with enough money will prompt the Taxman to send you to the Service Station.

In particularly challenging locations, it may be wise to focus on escaping with just enough cash to pass the level, rather than risking everything. This strategy helps maintain your financial resources for future purchases of Energy Crystals and other necessary upgrades.

That sums up the role of Energy Crystals in *R.E.P.O.* and how you can secure more of them to enhance your gameplay experience.
