Uncovering the secrets in *R.E.P.O.* can add a thrilling layer to your gameplay, especially when you're taking breaks between your loot runs. One of the most exciting secrets to discover is the secret shop. Here's a detailed guide on how to access it and what treasures you can find inside.
Getting Into the Secret Shop in R.E.P.O.
The secret shop in *R.E.P.O.* is cleverly hidden within the Service Station, which you can only access between your runs. To reach this hidden gem, you'll need to complete at least level 1 and meet your quota. Once you've done that, you'll be granted access to the Service Station.
Once inside the Service Station, the key to finding the secret shop is to look up at the ceiling. You're searching for a loose ceiling tile, which can be easily spotted by throwing a grenade or another explosive. The entrance to the secret shop is typically near the healing items.
To actually get into the secret shop, you have several options. If you're playing in multiplayer mode, have a teammate lift you up to reach the ceiling tile. Alternatively, you can use the double jump upgrade or the Feather Drone to access it. If you have a gun, shooting the tile can also expose the entrance.
What to Buy in the Secret Shop
The inventory in the secret shop changes with each run, but the allure lies in the fact that items are often sold at a lower price here than in the regular Service Station. This makes it a more cost-effective place to stock up on your gear. Additionally, there's a chance that the secret shop will stock unique items like the Human Grenade and Duct Tape Grenade, which you won't find in the standard shop.
That's your guide to accessing the secret shop in *R.E.P.O.*. For more tips and detailed information on the game, including strategies for dealing with monsters and a comprehensive list of items, be sure to check out The Escapist.
