In the thrilling world of *R.E.P.O.*, battling monsters is a core part of the gameplay, and the right items can make all the difference. If you're aiming to get your hands on the Human Grenade, here's a comprehensive guide on how to find and effectively use it.
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, a location you'll need to work to access. Fortunately, you can reach it between rounds, sparing you from battling Clowns or other creatures.
To get to the Secret Shop, you must first complete the initial round and return to the Service Station. While restocking on supplies, look for the ceiling tile opposite the Health Packs. This is your entry point to the Secret Shop, but accessing it in solo mode isn't as straightforward as climbing a few shelves. Here are the items you can use to reach the Secret Shop after removing the tile:
- Feather Drone
- Zero Gravity Drone
- Shockwave Mine
Some players have reported stacking objects in the Service Station as an alternative method, but this approach can be cumbersome. It's advisable to save up and purchase one of the items listed above for a smoother entry.
If you're playing with friends, accessing the Secret Shop becomes much easier. One player can minimize themselves and be guided into the shop by another standing on a cart or similar item.
Once inside the Secret Shop, you can purchase the Human Grenade for $2,000. While there, you might also want to pick up the Duct Tape Grenade, which is essentially a bundle of Human Grenades, to enhance your arsenal.

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 about 10 meters, shorter than the Stun and Shock Grenades. A key distinction is that it can harm both players and monsters, so it's crucial to move out of the 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 contrast, the Duct Tape Grenade, also available in the Secret Shop, offers significantly more destructive power. When deciding what to add to your inventory, consider the Duct Tape Grenade for its superior impact, as the monsters in *R.E.P.O.* won't go easy on you with weaker explosives.
