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

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. Conveniently accessible between rounds, you can acquire it without facing additional combat encounters. To reach the Secret Shop, complete the first round and return to the Service Station. Look for a removable ceiling tile near the Health Packs—this is your entry point.

Accessing the Secret Shop solo requires specific tools. The Feather Drone, Zero Gravity Drone, or Shockwave Mine can help you reach the hidden area. While some players report success using stacked objects, these methods are less reliable. Therefore, acquiring one of the aforementioned items is the most efficient approach.

Cooperative play simplifies access. One player can minimize their character size, allowing a teammate to guide them into the shop using a cart or similar object as a platform.

Once inside the Secret Shop, the Human Grenade awaits. Priced at $2,000, it's a worthwhile investment. While there, consider purchasing the Duct Tape Grenade, a more powerful variant also available for purchase.

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

The Human Grenade is a throwable item with a 10-meter range—shorter than Stun or Shock Grenades. Its unique feature is its ability to damage both monsters and players, so strategic positioning after throwing is crucial. While seemingly an upgrade to the standard Grenade, the Duct Tape Grenade generally offers superior damage and area-of-effect.

The Human Grenade, while useful, might not be the most effective explosive in your arsenal. The Duct Tape Grenade often proves more impactful. Carefully consider your inventory choices, as facing monsters with underwhelming explosives can be detrimental to your survival.
