In the chaotic battles of *R.E.P.O.*, upgrading your arsenal is key to survival. While many items offer 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 Secret Shop, accessible after completing the first round and returning to the Service Station. Locating the Secret Shop requires some ingenuity. Look for a removable ceiling tile near the Health Packs. Removing this tile opens the path, but accessing it solo requires specific tools.

To breach the Secret Shop solo, consider purchasing one of these items: Feather Drone, Zero Gravity Drone, or Shockwave Mine. While some players report using stacked objects, this method is 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 elevated objects like carts.

Once inside, the Human Grenade awaits, priced at $2,000. While there, consider purchasing the Duct Tape Grenade, a more powerful variant also crafted 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, 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. Choose wisely based on your tactical needs.
