How to find Panino in Ossex Station Underside
Panino is hidden beneath the Ossex Station area and can easily be missed during a normal playthrough. To reach him, you must first obtain the Drill Driver Sidearm. Once equipped, head toward the Station Underpass section beneath Ossex and use the Drill Driver to clear the large gap that blocks the route. After crossing, climb the rope and continue deeper into the hidden passage.
Along the way, you will encounter a mechanism requiring four Plasma Vials. Deposit the required Vials to unlock the path forward. Beyond this route, you will finally discover Panino’s stall. It is worth activating nearby shortcuts because you’ll likely return multiple times throughout the game.
An unusual mechanic of Panino’s shop is that purchased items do not always appear instantly. After buying something, you may need to continue exploring for several minutes before returning to collect it from the ground near his stall.

For completionists, he is effectively the game’s insurance policy against permanently missing important upgrades.
