*R.E.P.O.* is filled with hidden secrets that can significantly enhance your gameplay experience, and one of the most intriguing is the secret shop. Here’s your guide to uncovering this hidden gem between your loot runs.
Getting Into the Secret Shop in R.E.P.O.
The secret shop in *R.E.P.O.* is tucked away within the Service Station, accessible only during the intervals between your runs. To reach it for the first time, you'll need to successfully complete level 1 and meet your quota. Upon doing so, you'll gain access to the Service Station, where the secret shop awaits.
Once inside the Service Station, direct your gaze upward to the ceiling to locate the secret shop's entrance. Keep an eye out for a loose ceiling tile, which you can easily identify by throwing a grenade or another explosive nearby. The entrance is typically found near the healing items within the station.
To ascend to the secret shop, you have several options at your disposal. In multiplayer mode, have a teammate give you a boost to reach the ceiling tile. Alternatively, if you've acquired the double jump upgrade or have access to the Feather Drone, these can also facilitate your entry. If you’re armed, shooting the tile can also reveal the hidden entrance.
What to Buy in the Secret Shop
The secret shop's inventory refreshes with each run, but the allure lies in the discounted prices of its items, making it a more cost-effective choice compared to the regular Service Station shop. Additionally, there’s a chance you might stumble upon unique items like the Human Grenade and Duct Tape Grenade, which are not typically available elsewhere.
That’s how you can access and make the most out of the secret shop in *R.E.P.O.*. For more tips, tricks, and comprehensive guides on dealing with monsters and exploring every item in the game, be sure to check out resources like The Escapist.
