What to buy in the shop, which upgrades to prioritise, and hidden secrets.

Shop & Upgrades

After every successful level you return to the shop to spend your earnings on items, health packs, and upgrades. Knowing what to buy and in what order makes a huge difference, especially in the first few levels.

Note

Prices increase with purchases

Every time you buy an item the price of future purchases increases. Buy carefully, each additional item costs more than the last.

Recommended purchase priority

Follow this order when shopping, especially in early runs.

Health upgrades first

More max health means you survive more hits. The safest investment for new players.

Stamina upgrades second

More stamina means longer sprints when escaping monsters. Essential on higher-level runs.

Strength upgrades third

With 3 strength upgrades you can reliably carry heavy objects solo. With more you can physically interact with some enemies.

Utility items as needed

Flashlights, drones, maps, and health packs are situational. Buy them when underprepared for the next level.

Hidden shop secret

There is a secret area in the shop accessible through a ceiling tile near the extraction point. You need teammates to lift you up, but it always contains additional grenades.

Tip

Ceiling tile

Look for the loose ceiling tile near the extraction point in the shop. Have teammates boost you up. The grenades are always available and useful on harder runs.

Items respawn in your truck

If you lose a purchased item, dropped into a hole or destroyed, it will respawn in your truck as long as you successfully progress to the next level.

Tip

Share health before the truck

If you have more than 75 HP at the end of a level, give 10 HP to teammates by interacting with the green bar on their neck. The truck heals to 25 HP, excess HP is wasted otherwise.

Quick tips

Buy in bulk early. Prices increase per purchase, so getting multiples costs more each time.

Check truck storage before buying, you may have leftover gear from previous runs.

Strength upgrades let you carry heavier items solo and eventually interact physically with monsters.

The Service Station

After successfully completing a mission, you and your team are taken to the Service Station, the shop between runs. There are no monsters here, and any damage you take is completely undone when you leave. Dead teammates can be revived using the extraction point in the station. The shop always tries to spawn 10 upgrades alongside weapons, health packs, and utility items.

Note

Free to test everything

You have infinite ammo in the Service Station. Test any weapon or item freely, none of the damage you deal or receive here carries over to the next level.

Service Station tips

There is a Shopkeeper that activates when you press the orange button with an eye on it. It watches for misbehaviour, if you explode items, it grabs you. On the third offence it fires you out of a cannon.

There is a secret room accessible through a cracked wall in the station. It contains a Duct Taped Grenade, Human Grenade, and a Duck Bucket. Use explosives to break the cracked wall, or look for other abnormalities in the station layout.

In private and singleplayer lobbies you can reset the shop by leaving and rejoining. Buy what you need first, then rejoin to reset the available items.

A speedrun tactic in singleplayer: buy what you need and then self-destruct to skip going to the truck entirely.
