In *R.E.P.O.*, uncovering the game's secrets can add a thrilling layer to your looting experience. One of the most exciting secrets to discover is the secret shop. Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to access this hidden gem and what to look for once you're inside.
The secret shop is nestled within the Service Station, a location you can only access between your runs. To reach it, you must first complete level 1 and meet your quota. Once you've done that, you'll have the opportunity to visit the Service Station.
Upon entering 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. You can easily identify it by throwing a grenade or another explosive near the healing items, where the entrance is typically located.
To actually enter the secret shop, you have several options. If you're in multiplayer mode, ask a teammate to give you a boost to reach the ceiling tile. Alternatively, utilize the double jump upgrade or the Feather Drone to access the shop. If you're equipped with a gun, you can also shoot the tile to reveal the entrance.
The secret shop's inventory refreshes between runs, offering a dynamic shopping experience. One of the main draws is that items are often available at a lower price than in the regular Service Station, making it a cost-effective choice for your purchases. Keep an eye out for rare items like the Human Grenade and Duct Tape Grenade, which are exclusive to the secret shop and not found in the standard store.
Exploring the secret shop in *R.E.P.O.* can significantly enhance your gameplay. For more tips and detailed guides on handling monsters and understanding every item in the game, be sure to check out The Escapist.
