If you're diving into the world of *R.E.P.O.*, you'll want to uncover its secrets to maximize your loot runs. One of the most exciting secrets is the hidden shop, and here's how you can access it to enhance your gameplay.
The secret shop in *R.E.P.O.* is tucked away within the Service Station, which you can only access between your runs. The earliest opportunity to visit the Service Station is right after you complete level 1 and meet your quota, so keep pushing through to unlock this area.
Once inside the Service Station, your mission is to locate the entrance to the secret shop, which is cleverly hidden in the ceiling. Keep an eye out for a loose ceiling tile, which you can identify more easily by lobbing a grenade or another explosive nearby. The entrance is typically near the healing items within the Service Station.
Accessing the secret shop requires a bit of ingenuity. If you're playing multiplayer, have a teammate give you a boost to reach the ceiling tile. Alternatively, the double jump upgrade or using the Feather Drone can get you inside. If you're armed, you can also shoot the tile to reveal the entrance.
The secret shop's inventory rotates with each run, but the real draw is the discounted prices on items, making it a more cost-effective place to stock up compared to the regular Service Station. Keep an eye out for rare items like the Human Grenade and Duct Tape Grenade, which you won't typically 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 dealing with monsters and a comprehensive list of items, be sure to check out The Escapist.
