In *R.E.P.O.*, battling monsters can be a challenging task, but equipping yourself with the right items can significantly enhance your gameplay. Among the various items you can purchase, the Human Grenade stands out as a unique and powerful tool. Here's how you can find and effectively use the Human Grenade in *R.E.P.O.*.

Unlike other items in *R.E.P.O.*, the Human Grenade is tucked away in the Secret Shop, a location that requires some effort to access. Fortunately, you can reach it between rounds without the immediate threat of Clowns or other monsters.

To get to the Secret Shop, you need to complete the first round and return to the Service Station. While restocking on supplies, locate the ceiling tile directly opposite the Health Packs. This is your entry point to the Secret Shop, but accessing it solo isn't as straightforward as scaling a few shelves. Here are the items you can use to enter the Secret Shop after removing the tile:

  • Feather Drone
  • Zero Gravity Drone
  • Shockwave Mine

Some players have tried stacking objects within the Service Station to reach the Secret Shop, but this approach can be cumbersome. It's advisable to save up and purchase one of the listed items to make the process smoother.

If you're playing with friends, accessing the Secret Shop becomes much easier. One player can minimize themselves while another guides them into the shop using a cart or another object as a stepping stone.

Once inside the Secret Shop, you can purchase the Human Grenade for $2,000. While there, you might also want to pick up the Duct Tape Grenade, which combines multiple Human Grenades and offers even more destructive power.

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

The Human Grenade is a throwable item in *R.E.P.O.* with a range of approximately 10 meters, shorter than the Stun Grenade and Shock Grenade. The key difference is that the Human Grenade can harm both players and monsters, so it's crucial to move out of the blast radius after throwing it.

Although the Human Grenade might seem like an upgrade from the standard Grenade, its advantages are not immediately clear. In contrast, the Duct Tape Grenade, available in the same shop, can cause significantly more chaos, making it a more appealing choice for your arsenal. Be mindful of your selections, as the monsters won't go easy on you if your explosives underperform.

And that's the complete guide on how to acquire and utilize the Human Grenade in *R.E.P.O.*. For those eager to delve deeper, explore all the monsters in the game and learn how to evade them.
