Exploring the hidden gems in *R.E.P.O.* can significantly enhance your gameplay experience, especially if you're keen on uncovering secrets during your loot runs. One such secret is the elusive secret shop, and here's how you can gain access to it.
Getting Into the Secret Shop in R.E.P.O.
The secret shop in *R.E.P.O.* is nestled within the Service Station, accessible only during the breaks between your runs. You'll first be able to visit it after successfully completing level 1 and meeting your quota, which then grants you entry to the Service Station.
Once inside the Service Station, direct your gaze upwards to the ceiling where you'll find the entrance to the secret shop. Keep an eye out for a loose ceiling tile, which you can easily spot by hurling a grenade or any other explosive. The entrance typically sits near the healing items within the Service Station.
To reach the entrance, consider these methods: If you're in multiplayer mode, a teammate can give you a boost to reach the ceiling tile. Alternatively, utilize the double jump upgrade or the Feather Drone to ascend into the secret shop. If you have a firearm, shooting the tile can also reveal the entrance.
What to Buy in the Secret Shop
The secret shop's inventory refreshes between runs, offering items at discounted prices, which makes purchasing here more cost-effective than at the regular Service Station. Keep an eye out for rare items like the Human Grenade and Duct Tape Grenade, which are exclusive to the secret shop and not available in the standard shop.
That's your guide to accessing and making the most out of the secret shop in *R.E.P.O.*. For more in-depth tips, strategies on dealing with monsters, and a comprehensive list of items, be sure to check out The Escapist.
