"Guide to Obtaining and Utilizing the Human Grenade in R.E.P.O."

In the chaotic world of *R.E.P.O.*, battling grotesque monsters is a test of both reflexes and strategy. While the game offers a variety of tools to help you survive, some items stand out from the rest. Among them is the infamous **Human Grenade**, a unique throwable that can turn the tide of battle—if you know where to find it and how to use it effectively.

Where To Find the Human Grenade in R.E.P.O.

Unlike standard in-game items, the Human Grenade isn’t something you stumble upon randomly—it’s located in the elusive **Secret Shop**. This hidden location becomes accessible after completing the first round, giving you a chance to upgrade your arsenal between encounters.

To reach the Secret Shop, return to the **Service Station** after surviving the initial wave. While restocking on essentials, look for the **ceiling tile** positioned near the **Health Packs**. Removing this tile reveals a hidden passage to the Secret Shop. However, solo players will find that simply climbing a shelf won’t be enough. You’ll need one of the following tools to gain access:

• Feather Drone
• Zero Gravity Drone
• Shockwave Mine

Some players have also reported success by stacking objects to reach the opening, but this method tends to be less reliable and more time-consuming. The best strategy is to save up and purchase one of the listed tools to ensure smooth access.

If you're playing with friends, entering the Secret Shop becomes much easier. One player can shrink and be guided through the opening by another player who helps them climb up using a cart or other objects.

Once inside the Secret Shop, you can purchase the **Human Grenade** for **$2,000**. While you're there, check out the **Duct Tape Grenade**, which combines multiple Human Grenades into one powerful explosive—definitely worth considering if you're looking for maximum impact.

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

The **Human Grenade** is one of several throwable weapons in *R.E.P.O.* It has a **range of approximately 10 meters**, which is significantly shorter than the **Stun Grenade** or **Shock Grenade**. However, what sets it apart is its ability to **damage both players and monsters**, making it versatile in multiplayer or chaotic enemy swarms.

That said, the Human Grenade isn’t necessarily a direct upgrade over standard explosives. Its limited range means you’ll need to be cautious when throwing it—make sure to get out of the blast zone quickly after tossing one.

While it may seem like a novelty item, the real standout in the Secret Shop is the **Duct Tape Grenade**. Combining multiple Human Grenades into one, it delivers far more destructive potential and is often the better investment for taking down tough enemies or clearing out groups of monsters.

When choosing what to buy, consider your playstyle and the types of enemies you're facing. Don’t underestimate the importance of explosive power—monsters in *R.E.P.O.* won’t hesitate to end your run if you’re underprepared.

Now that you know how to get and use the Human Grenade in *R.E.P.O.*, you’re one step closer to mastering the game’s arsenal. For more tips, check out our guide on all the monsters in *R.E.P.O.* and how to escape them.
