In the chaotic world of *R.E.P.O.*, upgrading your arsenal is key to survival. While many items offer combat advantages, 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 location eliminates the need to fight your way through enemies to obtain it. To reach the Secret Shop, complete the first round and return to the Service Station. Look for a ceiling tile near the Health Packs—this is your entry point.
Accessing the Secret Shop solo requires specific items: a Feather Drone, Zero gravity Drone, or Shockwave Mine. While some players report success using stacked objects, these methods prove less reliable. Therefore, acquiring one of the aforementioned items is the most efficient approach.
Cooperative play simplifies access. One player can minimize their character, allowing another to assist them into the shop using objects for elevation.
Once inside, the Human Grenade awaits, priced at $2,000. While there, consider also purchasing the Duct Tape Grenade, a more powerful variant constructed from Human Grenades.

How to Use the Human Grenade in R.E.P.O.
The Human Grenade is a throwable weapon with a 10-meter range—significantly shorter than stun or shock grenades. Its unique feature is its ability to damage 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 found in the Secret Shop, generally offers superior destructive power. Carefully consider your inventory choices, as underpowered explosives can quickly lead to defeat.
