In the chaotic world of *R.E.P.O.*, upgrading your arsenal is key to survival. While many items offer assistance, the Human Grenade stands out as a particularly potent weapon. This guide details how to acquire and effectively utilize this explosive device.
Unlike readily available items, the Human Grenade is tucked away in the game's Secret Shop. Accessible between rounds, this hidden store eliminates the need to fight your way to your upgrade. To reach it, complete the first round and return to the Service Station. Look for a specific ceiling tile near the Health Packs—this is your entry point.
Accessing the Secret Shop solo requires a bit more effort. You'll need one of the following items: Feather Drone, Zero gravity Drone, or Shockwave Mine. While some players report using stacked objects, these methods prove less reliable. Investing in one of the listed items is the most efficient approach.
Cooperative play simplifies access. One player can minimize their character while another guides them in using a cart or other objects as leverage.
Once inside the Secret Shop, the Human Grenade awaits, priced at $2,000. While there, consider purchasing the Duct Tape Grenade, a more powerful variant crafted from Human Grenades.

How to Use the Human Grenade in R.E.P.O.
The Human Grenade boasts a 10-meter range, shorter than stun or shock grenades. However, its unique feature is its ability to damage both monsters and players. Therefore, strategic positioning after throwing is crucial.
While seemingly an upgrade to the standard grenade, the Human Grenade's effectiveness is debatable. The Duct Tape Grenade, also found in the Secret Shop, generally offers superior destructive power. Consider this when choosing your explosive loadout, as facing powerful monsters with underwhelming weaponry is ill-advised.
