Money makes the world go round and this truly is the case when it comes to surviving R.E.P.O. Gather coin and spend it like it’s your first pay check—it’s time to become Inspector Gadget.
There’s strategy when it comes to winning R.E.P.O. as every item comes with a hefty price tag. If you want to survive for as long as possible, you best upgrade your stats, buy weapons, and choose the right gadget that suits your playstyle. Here are all items and what they do in R.E.P.O.
All R.E.P.O. items and what they do

Weapons and items can be carried in your inventory (three available slots). All items are purchased inside the Service Station (shop) between each level. You can use the accumulated total you gained from all previous levels you successfully extracted from. R.E.P.O. cruelly rounds down the total. So if you completed a level with $9.6K, you will enter the shop with $9K spending money.
Hold onto your money if you’re investing in a particular weapon or are accumulating upgrades and Energy Crystals. Any profit will carry over into the next round (so long as you survive the level to see the Service Station again). All items inside the store are randomized, meaning you cannot guarantee you will see the same item twice. There’s also a possibility of seeing duplicate items on the store’s shelves.
Let’s get into all R.E.P.O. items; their cost and function.

All R.E.P.O. upgrades and what they do

You can use an upgrade as the truck is moving between the Service Station and the next location (level). Upgrades will spawn inside the truck, where you can pick them up with left-click and press “E” to use the upgrade, changing your character’s stats. Upgrades cannot be shared amongst teammates and they only have one use. If you forget to upgrade before the level starts don’t worry, the boxes you purchased will spawn into the new level and sit in the truck, waiting for your safe return.
