In the thrilling world of *R.E.P.O.*, battling monsters can be a daunting task, but the right items can make all the difference. One such item, the Human Grenade, can give you a significant edge in combat. 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 readily available 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. The good news is that you can visit the Secret Shop between rounds, avoiding the hassle of fighting off Clowns or other creatures to get your hands on this explosive.
To reach the Secret Shop, complete the first round and return to the Service Station. While you're stocking up on supplies, keep an eye out for a specific ceiling tile near the Health Packs. This tile is your entry point to the Secret Shop. Accessing it solo isn't straightforward; it's not just about climbing a few shelves. Here are the items you'll need to use after removing the tile:
- Feather Drone
- Zero Gravity Drone
- Shockwave Mine
While some players have reported stacking objects in the Service Station to reach the Secret Shop, this method seems inefficient. It's best to save up and purchase one of the items listed above.
If you're playing with friends, getting into the Secret Shop becomes much easier. One player can minimize themselves and be guided in by another standing on a cart or another item.
Once inside the Secret Shop, you can purchase the Human Grenade for $2,000. You'll also find the Duct Tape Grenade, which is essentially a collection of Human Grenades, so consider adding that to your arsenal as well.

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 approximately 10 meters. This is shorter than the Stun Grenade and Shock Grenade, but it has a unique feature: it can damage both players and monsters. Therefore, it's crucial to move out of the way after throwing it.
Although the Human Grenade might seem like an upgrade from the regular Grenade, its benefits are not immediately clear. In fact, the Duct Tape Grenade, also available in the Secret Shop, offers greater destructive power and is often the more appealing choice. Keep this in mind when deciding what to add to your inventory, as the monsters won't go easy on you if your explosives are underwhelming.
