After completing a level in R.E.P.O., you’ll access a Service Station full of player upgrades, weapons, and utility items to help you on future maps. Beyond this, a small Secret Shop houses extra items you otherwise wouldn’t find in the main store.

However, this location is difficult to find if you’re not actively looking for it. There’s even a chance you’ve walked by it dozens of times, unaware of its existence. Here’s how to find the Secret Shop in R.E.P.O.

R.E.P.O. Secret Shop location

R.E.P.O.’s Secret Shop is accessible by flipping over a ceiling tile in the Service Station. As you walk out of your ship, look up and count three squares forward before grabbing the ceiling and jumping. If you pick the right spot, the tile will flip over, revealing an attic-like entrance. You can also use grenades to 𒅌open it.

However, doing this is only half the battle. Your next goal is to jump up to the Secret Shop’s space. It’s too high up to access by jumping normally. Fortunately, you can use the following strategies to reach it:

• Go into a crouched ball form and have a friend carry you to the entrance.
• Use Extra Jump upgrades to increase your jumping capabilities.
• Use objects like the Pocket Cart to increase your height slightly.
• Use the Feather Drone to hover to the spot.

Once you reach the Secret Shop’s entrance, you can check out its wares and decorative items. If you jump out and want to revisit it, you’ll have to repeat one of the tricks above to access it again.

What can you buy in R.E.P.O.’s Secret Shop?

The Secret Shop is the only location in R.E.P.O. that lets you buy Duct Taped and Human Grenades. Both cost $2,000, making them inexpensive compared to most items. They also have pros and cons that warrant their price, but they’re generally handy if you’re low on cash and need extra support.

The Human Grenade is a weaker version of regular grenades that, after activating, will explode after a couple of seconds. While using the Human Grenade on smaller monsters like the Apex Predator will still kill them in one go, larger enemies will only take a bit of damage. Overall, you’re better off saving up for stronger weapons like the Tranq Gun or strength upgrades ♈unless you wantꩵ something cheap and somewhat effective.

The Duct Taped Grenades work a little differently. Rather than detonating in one spot, it’ll launch multiple smaller grenades in random spots nearby. If you’re not careful, it can even land at your feet, inflicting more damage to your character than your enemies. While this can be problematic in some cases, it’s helpful if you’re in a room with multiple enemies but can’t get them grouped into one spot.
