Conquering a level in the co-op game R.E.P.O. is a significant achievement. After your victory, the Service Station awaits, offering a chance to purchase weapons and upgrades, including the invaluable Energy Crystals. Here's what Energy Crystals do 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 the difficulty is lower, they're typically cheaper, offering a chance to stock up early if you've managed a successful run.

Purchasing an Energy Crystal adds an Energy Container to your R.E.P.O. truck. This container is crucial, allowing you to recharge tools like the Valuables or Extraction Tracker. Simply place them in the container (marked by a yellow lightning bolt) to recharge, saving money on replacements and boosting efficiency. You'll be ready to tackle the next Clown, Gnome, or Shadow Child in no time.

Energy Crystals automatically populate the container upon purchase. However, they have a limited lifespan and will deplete with use, requiring replacement. Roughly one crystal recharges four battery sections of an item, with six crystals fully replenishing the Energy Container.

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

Crystals are exclusively purchased at the Service Station and can be expensive. To ensure you have enough funds, diligently loot and scavenge valuables throughout each level. Only after completing a level with sufficient funds will the Taxman transport you to the Service Station.

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

That's all there is to know about Energy Crystals in R.E.P.O. and how to obtain them.
