My next evil plan is to lower consumable item prices (and increase uses). Don't tell Pepisolo or Misery.

We also have a list of new consumables, but I'm not supposed to say anything about that yet.
In all seriousness that's a really good plan. Having to unlock the shop plus walk back and forth across the map to use it is disincentive enough. Having to pay 50 credits for a single shot effect is committing incentive suicide.

I'll buy the argument that sometimes access to the shop is worth a key. I won't be convinced that having consumables cost more than some drones and permanent upgrades is a legitimate business strategy. That damn consumable shopkeeper is robbing us blind  :P

I would agree with lowering the prices, definitely.   Giving them multiple shots, no.  Would have to rebalance the hell out of all of them all over again, screw that.

But prices changes?  Yep.  They shouldn't be too costly.
