Apr 19,2025 Author: Zachary

In *R.E.P.O.*, as you battle through hordes of monsters, the right equipment can make all the difference. If you're aiming to get your hands on the Human Grenade, a powerful tool in your arsenal, here's a detailed guide on where to find it and how to use it effectively.

Where to Find 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 reach. Fortunately, you can access it between rounds, so you won't have to fend off Clowns or other creatures to grab your explosives.

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

  • Feather Drone
  • Zero Gravity Drone
  • Shockwave Mine

Some players have reported stacking objects in the Service Station to reach the shop, but this method can be cumbersome. It's advisable to save up and purchase one of the items listed above for a smoother entry.

If you're playing with friends, accessing the Secret Shop becomes much easier. One player can minimize themselves and be guided into the shop by another player standing on a cart or similar object.

Once inside the Secret Shop, you can purchase the Human Grenade for $2,000. While you're there, consider picking up the Duct Tape Grenade, which is essentially a bundle of Human Grenades, to maximize your explosive potential.

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 about 10 meters, which is shorter than the Stun Grenade and Shock Grenade. A key distinction is that the Human Grenade can damage both players and monsters, so it's crucial to move out of the blast radius after throwing it.

While the Human Grenade might seem like an upgrade over the regular Grenade, its benefits are not immediately clear. In contrast, the Duct Tape Grenade, also available in the Secret Shop, offers significantly more destructive power. When choosing what to add to your inventory, keep in mind that the monsters won't go easy on you if you come equipped with less effective explosives.

That's everything you need to know about acquiring and using the Human Grenade in *R.E.P.O.* For more tips, check out our guide on all the monsters in the game and how to escape them.
