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 after completing the first round and returning to the Service Station. Finding the shop requires a bit of ingenuity. Look for a removable ceiling tile near the Health Packs; this is your entrance. However, accessing it solo requires specific tools:

  • Feather Drone
  • Zero gravity Drone
  • Shockwave Mine

While some players reportedly use item stacking, this is less efficient. Purchasing one of the above items is generally recommended. Multiplayer offers an easier solution: one player minimizes themselves while another assists them in entering the shop using objects for elevation.

Inside the Secret Shop, the Human Grenade awaits, priced at $2,000. You'll also find the Duct Tape Grenade (composed of Human Grenades), a worthwhile addition to your inventory.

Using the Human Grenade

The Human Grenade boasts a 10-meter range, shorter than stun or shock grenades. Its unique feature? It damages both monsters *and* players. Therefore, strategic positioning after throwing is crucial.

While seemingly an upgrade to standard grenades, the Human Grenade's effectiveness is debatable. The Duct Tape Grenade, also available in the Secret Shop, often proves more impactful. Carefully consider your inventory choices, as facing monsters with underwhelming explosives is ill-advised.
