In *R.E.P.O.*, navigating through the game's challenges becomes easier with the right items, and the Human Grenade is one such powerful tool. If you're eager to add this explosive to your arsenal, here's a detailed guide on how to find and effectively use it.
Where to Find the Human Grenade in R.E.P.O.
Unlike some readily available items, the Human Grenade is tucked away in the Secret Shop, which you can only access between rounds, sparing you the hassle of battling Clowns or other creatures to reach it.
To reach the Secret Shop, you must first complete the initial round and then return to the Service Station. As you stock up on supplies, keep an eye on the ceiling tile opposite the Health Packs. That's your entry point to the Secret Shop, but accessing it in solo mode isn't as straightforward as simply scaling shelves. Here are some items you can use to help you get in after removing the ceiling tile:
- Feather Drone
- Zero Gravity Drone
- Shockwave Mine
While some players have reported success by stacking objects in the Service Station, this approach seems more cumbersome than effective. Therefore, it's advisable to save up for one of the aforementioned items to ensure a smoother entry.
If you're playing with friends, accessing the Secret Shop becomes much simpler. One player can minimize themselves and be guided into the shop by another standing on a cart or similar object.
Once inside the Secret Shop, you can purchase the Human Grenade for $2,000. While there, don't miss the chance to grab the Duct Tape Grenade, composed of Human Grenades, to enhance your inventory further.

How to Use the Human Grenade in R.E.P.O.
The Human Grenade is a throwable item in *R.E.P.O.* with a range of approximately 10 meters, shorter than the Stun and Shock Grenades. What sets it apart from regular Grenades is its ability to harm both players and monsters. Therefore, after throwing one, it's crucial to move away swiftly to avoid the blast.
While the Human Grenade might seem like an upgrade, its real value can be debated. In comparison, the Duct Tape Grenade, also available in the Secret Shop, offers significantly more destructive power. Keep this in mind when deciding which items to add to your inventory, as the monsters in *R.E.P.O.* are relentless and won't go easy on you if you come equipped with less effective explosives.
