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 other items, the Human Grenade is tucked away in the game's Secret Shop, accessible after completing the first round and returning to the Service Station. Finding the shop isn't straightforward; you'll need to locate a removable ceiling tile near the Health Packs. Solo players will require specific items to reach it:

  • Feather Drone
  • Zero gravity Drone
  • Shockwave Mine

While some players report success by stacking objects, this method is less reliable. Acquiring one of the above items is generally more efficient. Cooperative play simplifies access; one player can minimize themselves while another uses objects to create a pathway.

Once inside the Secret Shop, the Human Grenade is yours for $2,000. While there, consider picking up the Duct Tape Grenade, a more powerful variant also available for purchase.

The Human Grenade boasts a 10-meter range, shorter than stun or shock grenades. Crucially, it damages both monsters *and* players, so strategic positioning is vital after deployment.

Although initially appealing, the Human Grenade’s effectiveness is debatable compared to the more devastating Duct Tape Grenade. Consider your priorities when stocking your inventory. Underestimating your explosive options can be fatal.
