In the thrilling world of *R.E.P.O.*, battling monsters becomes a strategic endeavor where the right items can turn the tide of battle in your favor.

Unlike some readily available items, the Human Grenade is tucked away in the Secret Shop, a location you must earn access to. Fortunately, you can visit this shop between rounds, sparing you from confronting Clowns or other fearsome creatures during your quest for the explosive.

To reach the Secret Shop, complete the first round and return to the Service Station. While restocking on supplies, look for a specific ceiling tile opposite the Health Packs. This tile is your gateway to the Secret Shop, but accessing it in solo mode isn't straightforward. Here are the items you'll need to remove the tile and enter the shop:

  • Feather Drone
  • Zero Gravity Drone
  • Shockwave Mine

Although some players have reported using stacked objects in the Service Station to reach the shop, this method is often more hassle than it's worth. The most reliable strategy is to save up until you can purchase one of the listed items.

If you're playing with friends, getting into the Secret Shop becomes much easier. One player can minimize themselves, and another can guide them into the shop by standing on a cart or another item.

Once inside the Secret Shop, you can purchase the Human Grenade for $2,000. While there, consider also grabbing the Duct Tape Grenade, which is a composite of Human Grenades, to enhance your inventory.

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

The Human Grenade is a unique throwable in *R.E.P.O.* with a range of about 10 meters—shorter than the Stun and Shock Grenades. Its key feature is the ability to damage both monsters and players, making it a double-edged sword. When deploying a Human Grenade, ensure you're out of its blast radius to avoid unintended harm.

While the Human Grenade might seem like an upgrade to the regular Grenade, its benefits can be ambiguous. The real gem of the Secret Shop is the Duct Tape Grenade, which offers significantly more destructive power. Keep this in mind when selecting items for your inventory, as you'll need every advantage against the relentless monsters of *R.E.P.O.*.
