Right now there are 3 categories in the Item Store: "PowerUps & Artifacts", "Puzzle items", and "Other" But imho only the Puzzle Items category makes sense, the other two are kinda generic and you really have to look through all of them if you are looking for something more specific. For some items the category choice is kinda odd, for example the Hazmat suit is in "PowerUps" while the BioSuit is in "other", although they are very similar items. So my suggestion is to either sort the items by style (Doom/Heretic/Strife) or further differentiate by usage type. here are some examples how one could try to categorize stuff: "Armor & Health" - Ankh of Life, Armor Sphere, Bloodlust Sphere, Bio Sphere, Medipack "Ammo and gadgets" - Ammo Sphere, Ammo Belt, Combat Pack, Spring Mine, Deployable Sentry Gun "Player buffs" -  Damage Spheres, Fire Aura Sphere, Lich Skull, Scroll of Hellfire "player morph powerups" - Mutant Sphere, Magic Squirrel, Shrink Sphere, Starving Rat "Movement powerups" - Flight Sphere, Haste Sphere, Jet Thruster, Rebreather, Jump Boots "Monster Debuffs" - Mask of Terror, Morph Cheddar, Possession Sphere, Terror Sphere  "Environment powerups" - Ring of the Owl, Salvation Sphere, Time Freeze Sphere,  "Summoning powerups" - Book of the Dead, Familiar Summon, Summon Sphere, Beacon, Swarmers Then put everything that doesnt fit anywhere into "other", like the Checkpoint Disk. Looking at my suggestions now I already see some items that might fit on other categories as well, and I have no idea of any of that makes sense in regards to the categories of the other repositories. And then there's the question if it would be really worth the effort, but oh well... these are just some suggestions ;-)  ")* Seems like entries for the new categories don't show up in the [ recent submissions.](https://www.realm667.com/repository) This happens with Ammunition, Gadgets and Health & Armor.

Some of them did have a description though, for example the Wrath Demon:> Description: > A tough floating giant demonic skull from boss ranks, with a mortal arsenal of homing eyes and a ramming charge, can decimate every unprepared marine. and the Hellforged Sentinel> Description: > A deadly flying Hell-Forged drone that shoots any poor unfortunate man who crosses by.
