Vendor
From Ratchet & Clank wiki
Vendors were found all over the Solana, Bogon, and Polaris Galaxies. They sold weapons, ammo, armor, and mods. There were many different kinds, for example in Ratchet & Clank and Up Your Arsenal there were Gadgetron vendors, in the former they are blue and in the latter they were orange. In Going Commando they were Megacorp vendors. Slim Cognito owned a ship shack in this game as well and sold weapon mods. There were also armor vendors in Going Commando and Up Your Arsenal. In Deadlocked there were DreadZone vendors. In Size Matters Slim Cognito owned several vendors where he sold upgrades. The vendors in the Polaris galaxy were known as GrummelNet vendors which sold weapons, devices, and armor. In Secret Agent Clank the vendors were Agency vendors that sold weapons, gadgets and items.
Most vendors worked as a visual shop. They consisted of a box or shape, which had a projector at the top that projected an image of the company logo it was associated with. When accessing, the box would open up and a screen and controls would appear. The projector then projected an image of the weapon that was highlighted on the menu, and there would sometimes be a virtual tradesman that would comment on the weapons. After exiting, it went back to its idle form.
