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 advantages, 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. Accessible between rounds, this hidden store eliminates the need to fight your way through enemies to obtain it. To reach the Secret Shop, complete the first round and return to the Service Station. Look for a ceiling tile near the Health Packs—this is your entry point. However, accessing it solo requires a bit more effort.

Several items can help breach the Secret Shop: the Feather Drone, Zero Gravity Drone, and Shockwave Mine. Some players report using stacked objects, but this method seems less efficient. It's generally recommended to acquire one of the aforementioned items first. Cooperative play makes access significantly easier; a player can simply be lifted into the shop by a teammate.

Once inside, the Human Grenade awaits, priced at $2,000. While there, consider also purchasing the Duct Tape Grenade, a more powerful variant crafted from Human Grenades.

The Human Grenade boasts a 10-meter range, shorter than stun or shock grenades. Crucially, unlike standard grenades, it damages both monsters *and* players. Remember to clear the blast radius after deploying it.

While seemingly an upgrade to the regular grenade, the Human Grenade's effectiveness is debatable. The Duct Tape Grenade often proves a more impactful choice. Carefully consider your inventory choices, as facing monsters with underwhelming explosives can be disastrous.
