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 location eliminates the need to fight your way through enemies to obtain it.
To reach the Secret Shop, complete the first round and return to the Service Station. Look for a ceiling tile near the Health Packs—this is your entry point. However, solo access requires a bit more effort. You'll need one of the following items to remove the tile and gain entry:
- Feather Drone
- Zero gravity Drone
- Shockwave Mine
While some players report success stacking objects, this method is less reliable. Purchasing one of the above items is generally the most efficient approach. Cooperative play simplifies access; a player can be minimized and guided in by a teammate using objects for elevation.
Once inside the Secret Shop, the Human Grenade is yours for $2,000. While you're there, consider also purchasing the Duct Tape Grenade, a more powerful variant.

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. Its unique feature is its ability to damage both monsters *and* players, so be sure to clear the area after throwing it.
While initially seeming like a grenade upgrade, the Human Grenade's effectiveness is debatable. The Duct Tape Grenade generally offers superior destructive power. Consider this when strategizing your inventory, as underpowered explosives can quickly lead to your demise.
This concludes your guide to obtaining and using the Human Grenade in *R.E.P.O*. For further assistance, check out our guides on the game's monsters and escape strategies.
