Into the Nexus features two types of vendors, managed by GrummelNet Industries. The weapon and armor vendors have a similar design to their predecessors, with a flat oblate shape, floating slightly above the ground, and popping open if a customer approaches. They take bolts as their currency, and also offer minor upgrades in exchange for raritanium.
The upgrade system is largely identical to that seen in Tools of Destruction, albeit with far more upgrades available per weapon (and a different raritanium economy). Upgrades include improving a simple base stat such as ammo, damage, range, rate of fire, and area of effect, as well as several unique upgrades specific to each weapon.
Pricing[]
Ratchet starts by default with the Omniblaster and acquires the Fusion Grenade for free onboard the Nebulox Seven. The RYNO VII has to be acquired from the Plumber by trading in all nine holo-plans.
All prices below are listed in bolts, except for the 'Total upgrade cost' which is in raritanium.
All Omega upgrade prices include one gold bolt each.
Purchasing all weapons unlocks the gold trophy "In Case of Zombies...".
