The shop, as it looks for Froggy G.
Shops are located in each teams' bases where upgrades can be purchased with the in game currency, Solar. Players are taken there after teleporting, and while there, their health will refill quickly, making it a helpful place to retreat to when near death. It is also possible to access the shop while dead, as long as it's done before the respawn minigame.
In older versions of Awesomenauts, the shop would only have the items the player selected prior to joining a match (see Loadout). This was changed in Patch 2.6 Reloaded, however.
Each Awesomenaut has their own unique selection of upgrades, with a few exeptions on the utility tab.
An energy wall prevents enemy Awesomenauts from using the opposing team's shop.
Using the Shop
While standing on the shop press the Open Shop Button (default keys are X, □ and E for Xbox, Playstation and PC/Mac/Linux respectively). Once there, highlight the desired ability or upgrade and press the same button again to purchase it or pres A/X/E to close the shop.
