Shops

Shops are certain areas in every biome (except boss biomes) with items for sale. The price of the items depends on what biome the player is in, increasing with the level of the biome. Each shop contains three items. With the Restock general improvement unlocked at The Collector, shops can be rerolled up to 5 times for free to change what items will be sold. However, every reroll will increase the price of the items by 40% of their base price.

Different types of shopkeepers
Currently, three types of Shops can appear: The Weapon Shop, the Skill Shop and the Food Shop. They have different appearances and sell different things. It is worth noting that Food Shops are only found in a few specific biomes and cannot appear randomly outside of those biomes.


 * Weapon Shops sell ranged weapons, melee weapons, and shields.
 * Skill Shops sell traps, turrets, granades and powers.
 * Food Shops sell food, flask recharges and cough syrup.

Once the Merchandise Category improvement is unlocked, the player may choose 1 of 3 categories that will make the shops only sell weapons that scale with a specific stat (Brutality, Tactics, Survival). Note that this upgrade does not effect Food Shops in any way due to the nature of what they sell.
 * Using the Custom Mode modifier will change the shops to how it was prior to Update 1.9 (Update of Plenty). This will allow the player to choose between what weapon types (Melee, Ranged, Shields) or skill types (Deployable Traps, Grenades, Miscellaneous Skills) the shop will sell.

Dialogue with the shopkeeper
Amusingly, the shopkeeper's dialogue depends on how much gold the player has, ranging from rude to polite.

If the player does not have enough gold to buy anything, the shopkeeper will say the following when interacted with: However, if the player does indeed have enough gold to buy anything, the shopkeeper's tone will shift, until he gets impatient. If the player uses Custom Mode to alter the item pool and turn off every item available, the shopkeeper will give a unique line to remark it.
 * "My Stuff is too good for you! Scram!"
 * "No gold? NO GOODIES!"
 * "No! We don't offer credit!"
 * "Bring the gold, or beat it!"
 * "Outside, peasant!"
 * "Everything is for sale!"
 * "What can I do for you?"
 * "Are you going to buy something, or are you just hanging around?"
 * "You know, this is going to get old."
 * "BUY SOMETHING OR GET OUT OF HERE!"
 * "He's got his head... In the clouds! Oh eh ha he haw..."
 * "He's got his head... In the clouds! Oh eh ha he haw..."
 * "I've got nothing to offer you, scram!"
