How to Buy Items in R.E.P.O.

After completing each level, you’ll gain access to the Service Station, where you can purchase and upgrade your gear using earned currency. The money you earn from selling scrap and loot in the previous level will determine what you can afford in the next mission.

Keep in mind, however, that the game rounds your total earnings down to the nearest thousand. For example, if you collect $4,750, only $4,000 will carry over for purchases. Because of this, it’s wise to manage your haul carefully and prioritize essential items based on your current run's needs.

Equipping the right combination of items can make a huge difference in how smoothly your missions go. Whether you're looking to control crowds, boost mobility, or simply carry more gear, knowing which items to invest in is key to mastering R.E.P.O..
