Spend money to make money.

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 paycheck—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
So many choices. Screenshot by Dot Esports
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.
Throwables
Drone
Tip:
Don’t worry if you drop items in a round, they will respawn inside the truck in the next level. This means you should prioritize picking up Broken One heads instead of going back out to rescue Drones.
Miscellaneous
All R.E.P.O. weapons
ItemAverage costDescription
Frying Pan$16K-17KA brute-force weapon that you can swing.
Gun$20KDon’t get too trigger happy using this, otherwise you can’t control where the bullet lands. Wait up to one second before shooting again for accuracy.
Tranq Gun$16K-18KPuts monsters to sleep for 12-15 seconds.
Shotgun$45KPump action shotgun with unlimited ammo. It’s hunting season, boys. Third shot swings the shotgun behind you, making it difficult to control. Use “E” to shoot.
Sledge Hammer$44K-48KA brute force weapon you can swing. Best used horizontally or while performing 360 spins to clear monsters surrounding you. Slow and awful at swinging downwards.
Baseball Bat$46KAnother brute force weapon that’s got good handling and mobility.
Inflatable Hammer$12KCan deal explosive damage when it connects with a flat surface, causing a knockback effect on the user.
Sword$20KSword is held close to you, you cannot use the scroll wheel to increase its range.
Prodzap$28K-29KTemporarily stuns enemies and brings them to the ground. Not powerful enough to kill most monsters. Better used in combination with other weapons, or to stun and run as the enemy is brought to the ground.
Boltzap$17K-18KSmall knockback effect, bringing monsters to the ground. Capable of hitting multiple targets if in close proximity to one another. Capable of defeating enemies with its abundance of arrows. Weak in stunning department, enemies will get up almost immediately after being knocked.
Pulse Pistol$15K-16KThrows monsters, items, and objects away, causing destruction. Big knockback effect on enemies, where they stay stunned for two to four seconds. Strong enough to kill.Cart Cannon$42-44KAttach and man the cannon to shoot projectiles from the C.A.R.T.Cart Laser$42-44KAttach to the C.A.R.T. and man the weapon to release a laser beam. Photon Blaster$44-46KHandheld version of the Cart Laser.
All R.E.P.O. upgrades and what they do

You can use an upgrade as the truck moves 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. You cannot share upgrades 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.
