Energy Crystals in R.E.P.O.: Uses & Acquisition

Conquering a level in the cooperative game R.E.P.O. is a significant achievement. Upon reaching the Service Station after your victory, you'll have the opportunity to purchase various weapons and upgrades, including valuable Energy Crystals. This guide explains the function of Energy Crystals in R.E.P.O. 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 difficulty is typically lower, they're often cheaper, providing an excellent opportunity to stock up if you've had a successful run.

Purchasing an Energy Crystal adds an Energy Container/Station to your R.E.P.O. truck. This is a game-changer, allowing you to recharge tools like the Valuables or Extraction Tracker simply by placing them inside. This significantly reduces replacement costs and saves your team money in the long run. Items are recharged by placing them in the bin next to the container, easily identified by its yellow lightning bolt. Get ready to tackle those Clowns, Gnomes, and Shadow Children!

Energy Crystals automatically appear in the container upon purchase. They have a finite lifespan and will deplete with use, eventually breaking and requiring replacement. A single crystal typically recharges four battery sections of an item; six crystals fully replenish the Energy Container.

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

Energy Crystals are exclusively purchased at the Service Station, and as mentioned, can be expensive. To ensure you have enough funds, diligently collect valuables throughout each level. Remember, you only reach the Service Station after successfully completing a level with sufficient funds.

During particularly challenging levels, prioritizing survival and securing enough money to pass the level might be wiser than risking losing valuable items.
