In *R.E.P.O.*, uncovering secrets can enhance your gameplay, especially when you're taking breaks from your loot runs. One such secret is the secret shop, and here's how you can access it.
Getting Into the Secret Shop in R.E.P.O.
The secret shop in *R.E.P.O.* is cleverly tucked away inside the Service Station, which you can only access between your runs. To reach it, you'll need to complete at least level 1 and meet your quota, after which you'll be granted entry to the Service Station.
Once inside the Service Station, direct your attention upwards to the ceiling. You're looking for a loose ceiling tile that marks the entrance to the secret shop. This tile can be easily spotted by lobbing a grenade or another explosive near the healing items area.
To access the shop, there are several methods you can use. In multiplayer mode, have a teammate boost you up to reach the ceiling tile. Alternatively, if you've upgraded to a double jump or have a Feather Drone, you can use these to get inside. If you're armed, simply shooting the tile will also expose the entrance.
What to Buy in the Secret Shop
The secret shop's inventory refreshes between runs, offering items at discounted prices, making it a more cost-effective place to shop compared to the regular Service Station. Keep an eye out for rare items like the Human Grenade and Duct Tape Grenade, which are exclusive to this shop and not available elsewhere.
That's the scoop on accessing the secret shop in *R.E.P.O.*. For more tips and detailed guides on dealing with monsters and understanding every item in the game, be sure to check out The Escapist.
