In the chaotic battles 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 details how to acquire and effectively utilize this explosive device.
Unlike other items, the Human Grenade is tucked away in the game's Secret Shop, accessible between rounds. This means you can acquire it without the added stress of battling monsters. 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.
Accessing the Secret Shop solo requires a bit more effort. You'll need one of the following items: Feather Drone, Zero Gravity Drone, or Shockwave Mine. While some players report success using stacked objects, this method is less reliable. Therefore, acquiring one of the listed items is the most efficient approach.
Cooperative play simplifies access. One player can minimize themselves, allowing another to guide them in using objects like carts for elevation.
Once inside the Secret Shop, the Human Grenade is yours for $2,000. While you're there, consider purchasing the Duct Tape Grenade, a more powerful variant also available for purchase.

The Human Grenade boasts a 10-meter range, shorter than stun or shock grenades. However, its unique ability to harm both monsters *and* players sets it apart. Remember to maintain a safe distance after deployment.
While initially appealing, the Human Grenade's effectiveness is debatable compared to the more powerful Duct Tape Grenade. Consider this when strategizing your inventory. Underwhelming explosives won't cut it against the game's relentless monsters.
