Cuphead – How Does the Shop in Cuphead Work?

cuphead

Heading into cuphead, I heard that the shop works in a weird way.

I heard the shop works in branches, where if you buy item A1 you'll get A2 next, but if you buy B1 you get B2 next. So you must make sure to buy the right items to get the right endgame items.

I also heard that there's not enough coins in the game to buy everything, so if you want certain upgrades, you must buy the ones before or you might not have enough at the end to buy the upgrades you really want.

Is it really how the shop works? Also, if it is, what are the branches?

Best Answer

There are two 'branches' in the shop, one for weapons and one for charms

When you purchase items in the shop, the new item that take the place of what you purchased depends on what type of item it was, and will always follow a set list. If every item of one type has been purchased, it will not pull the next item from the other branch.
