Shop and weapons | General tips Homefront: The Revolution Guide
In Homefront: The Revolution, you can find a whole range of weapons, which will help you in combat with Koreans. To be able to buy a new weapon, you have to get to a shop. The game's world has two shops. The former is the main armory of the resistance, led by Sidney, which can be found in the main resistance outpost in the abandoned metro tunnels (you are here after the mission "Welcome to the resistance" (Warning! Armories can be found in KPA zones. You don't have to return to the metro every time.) The latter shop, or shops, are the weapon lockers, scattered around the game's world. To have an access to such locker, you need to create an operational base through capturing a strategic place from the Koreans in the given area of the city.
The shops have two types of currency. One of them is ordinary dollars, which are received for plot missions and additional tasks, or can be found by dead soldiers. Every "trash" gathered during the exploration of the town, can be sold for dollars in the shops, making it a good source of income.
KPA technology points (red icon) is the second type of currency. Using it, you can buy various weapon upgrades or equipment, which will help you during combat. Technology points are gained through missions containing the strike points, and by capturing strike points in the Korean zones.
