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 will walk you through acquiring and effectively utilizing this explosive device.
Unlike readily available items, the Human Grenade is tucked away in the game's Secret Shop. Accessible between rounds, this hidden store eliminates the need to battle enemies to obtain it. To reach the Secret Shop, complete the first round and return to the Service Station. Look for a removable ceiling tile near the Health Packs—this is your entrance. However, solo access requires specific tools.
Getting into the Secret Shop solo requires purchasing one of the following 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 listed items is the most efficient approach. Cooperative play simplifies access; a player can be lifted or guided into the shop by a teammate using various objects.
Once inside, the Human Grenade awaits. Priced at $2,000, it's a worthwhile investment. While there, consider purchasing the Duct Tape Grenade, a more powerful variant also available in the Secret Shop.

The Human Grenade boasts a 10-meter range, shorter than Stun or Shock Grenades. Its unique feature is its ability to damage both monsters and players, so be mindful of your positioning after throwing it. While seemingly an upgrade to the standard Grenade, the Duct Tape Grenade often proves a more effective choice due to its superior destructive capabilities.
