Uncovering the secrets of *R.E.P.O.* can significantly enhance your gameplay, and one of the most exciting discoveries is the secret shop. Here's a detailed guide on how to access this hidden gem and what treasures you can find within.
The secret shop in *R.E.P.O.* is nestled within the Service Station, a location you can only access between your runs. To reach the Service Station for the first time, you'll need to successfully complete level 1 and meet your quota. Once you've achieved this, you'll be granted access to explore the Service Station.
Upon entering the Service Station, direct your gaze upward to the ceiling. You're on the hunt for a loose ceiling tile that marks the entrance to the secret shop. Spotting it can be made easier by tossing a grenade or another explosive device, as the entrance is typically near the healing items.
Once you've located the entrance, there are several methods to reach it. If you're in multiplayer mode, have a teammate give you a boost to reach the ceiling tile. Alternatively, if you have the double jump upgrade or the Feather Drone at your disposal, use them to ascend. Another option is to shoot the tile with a gun to expose the entrance.
The allure of the secret shop lies in its rotating inventory, which often offers items at lower prices than those found in the main Service Station. This makes it a more cost-effective place to stock up on your essentials. 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 regular store.
By following these steps, you'll be able to access the secret shop in *R.E.P.O.* and make the most out of your in-game purchases. For more tips, tricks, and comprehensive guides on *R.E.P.O.*, including how to tackle various monsters and a detailed list of every item, be sure to visit The Escapist.
