How to Get and Use the Recharge Drone in R.E.P.O.

In the chilling universe of *R.E.P.O.*, mastering the use of items can be the difference between advancing to the next level or facing the dreaded Disposal Arena alongside your teammates. Among these crucial items, Recharge Drones stand out as vital tools for success. Let's dive into how to acquire and utilize these essential devices.

What Recharge Drones Do

Within the Service Station, you'll encounter a variety of items, some of which are disposable, like Mines and Grenades, while others boast a rechargeable "battery life." These chargeable items, including weapons and drones, can be revitalized using Energy Crystals. When starting your journey in *R.E.P.O.*, you'll spot a container in your truck designed for charging your gear. However, remember that each charge consumes an Energy Crystal.

Purchased Energy Crystals automatically integrate into the container, simplifying your inventory management. To recharge an item, simply place it in the yellow bucket next to the container, and it will regain its vitality. This feature is invaluable for maintaining your equipment's condition, ensuring you're ready to face the horrors of the next level.

Yet, as you progress through the increasingly challenging levels, your items may wear down rapidly. While you can use Energy Crystals at designated spots, you're not always near your truck. This is where the Recharge Drone becomes indispensable, allowing you to manage your items' energy on the go.

The Recharge Drone, like all items and upgrades, is available at the Service Station, which you visit after successfully completing each level. Here, you can equip yourself with tools that will ease your journey ahead, provided you have the funds.

Items at the Service Station appear randomly, so it might take several visits before the Recharge Drone becomes available. Once it does, it costs between $4-5K and occupies one of your inventory slots. Assign it a slot (1, 2, or 3) after purchase.

You'll notice your item's condition through the battery bar displayed beneath it. When it's time to recharge, select the drone, press 'E' to activate it, and attach your depleted item. Let the Recharge Drone work its magic. Once the drone's battery is depleted, you can recharge it using Energy Crystals in your truck's container.

Now armed with the knowledge of how to find and effectively use the Recharge Drone in *R.E.P.O.*, you're better prepared to conquer the game's terrifying challenges.
