In the thrilling world of *R.E.P.O.*, battling monsters becomes significantly easier with the right arsenal. Among the game's unique items, the Human Grenade stands out, but it's not easy to come by. Here’s how to find and effectively use this explosive in *R.E.P.O.*.

Where To Find the Human Grenade in R.E.P.O.

Unlike other items in *R.E.P.O.*, the Human Grenade is tucked away in the Secret Shop, which you can access between rounds, sparing you from battling Clowns or other creatures just to reach it.

To reach the Secret Shop, you must first complete the initial round and return to the Service Station. While restocking your supplies, look for the ceiling tile directly across from the Health Packs. This tile is your entry point to the Secret Shop, but accessing it in solo mode is challenging. Here are the tools you can use to enter the Secret Shop after dislodging the tile:

  • Feather Drone
  • Zero Gravity Drone
  • Shockwave Mine

Some players have tried stacking objects within the Service Station to reach the Secret Shop, but this approach is cumbersome. It's wiser to save up for one of the listed items.

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, consider picking up the Duct Tape Grenade, which is essentially a cluster of Human Grenades.

How To Use the Human Grenade in R.E.P.O.

The Human Grenade is one of many throwable items in *R.E.P.O.*, with a range of about 10 meters—considerably shorter than the Stun and Shock Grenades. A key distinction is that the Human Grenade can harm both players and monsters, so it's crucial to move out of its blast radius after throwing it.

While the Human Grenade might seem like an upgrade over the regular Grenade, its benefits are not immediately clear. In fact, the Duct Tape Grenade, also available in the Secret Shop, offers a more devastating impact. When choosing your explosives, remember that the monsters won't hold back if you're not packing the right punch.

That's all you need to know about acquiring and using the Human Grenade in *R.E.P.O.*. For more on the game, check out guides on all the monsters and how to escape them.
