Where is the Shop in Cameraman Tower Defense?

What does the Exclusive Scientist Crate offer?
The Exclusive Scientist Crate shows 89% / 10% / 1% on three drop rows. Robux buttons in the same frame: 49 (×1), 139 (×3), and 399 (×10) on a wider shop scroll.
Tooltip example: Large Scientist Cameraman (Exclusive AOE) with DPS 50→1250, Range 9→20, Cooldown 0.5→0.2 in MeddysonTD’s capture.
Menzi’s tier commentary treats Scientist Cameraman and Engineer as exotic economy/spawner picks—community voice, not official odds disclosure. Deep dives: /units/scientist-cameraman/ and /units/engineer/.
What about the Exclusive Spider Crate and gems?
Update 3 adds gems as a Shop currency. The Exclusive Spider Crate lists 90% / 9.8% / 0.2% and gem prices 100 / 300 / 1000 for 1/3/10 opens.
TV Spider (Exclusive AOE) tooltip in footage: DPS 125→10000, Range 15→40.

We do not know every free gem source—only that Spider purchases consume gems. See coins and economy for what is confirmed about earning them.

/units/jetpack-cameraman/ covers the unit; /units/tier-list/ puts it in community context.
How does the Units inventory relate to Shop?
Opening crates fills Units → Inventory. One frame shows 9/500 slots—plan storage before mass-opening.

Should you spend Robux here?
Learn the free loop first: beginner guide, difficulty modes, and all codes for 50 Coin top-ups. Robux crates speed up collection; they are not proof you need paid units to win Easy or Normal.
Summons elsewhere in the lobby show different percentage boards (60/30/9/1 vs 80/12/4/0.3/0.1 in other frames)—do not assume those match Scientist or Spider crate tables.
