In the chaotic battles of *R.E.P.O.*, acquiring the right items can be the difference between victory and defeat. While many upgrades are available, the Human Grenade stands out as a particularly potent weapon. This guide will show you how to locate and effectively utilize this explosive device.
Unlike other items in *R.E.P.O.*, the Human Grenade is tucked away in the game's Secret Shop. Conveniently accessible between rounds, you won't 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 specific ceiling tile near the Health Packs—this is your entry point. However, solo access requires a bit more effort.
To remove the tile and enter the Secret Shop solo, you'll need one of the following items: Feather Drone, Zero Gravity Drone, or Shockwave Mine. While some players have reported success using stacked objects, this method is less reliable. Therefore, purchasing one of the listed items is the most efficient approach.
With friends, accessing the Secret Shop is significantly easier. One player can minimize themselves while another guides them in using objects like carts for elevation.
Once inside, the Human Grenade awaits, priced at $2,000. You'll also find the Duct Tape Grenade (composed of Human Grenades) available for purchase.

The Human Grenade boasts a 10-meter range, shorter than Stun or Shock Grenades. Its key distinction is its ability to damage both monsters *and* players, making careful positioning crucial after deployment. While it might seem like a simple grenade upgrade, the Duct Tape Grenade often proves a more effective choice due to its superior destructive power. Consider this when stocking your inventory, as facing powerful monsters with underwhelming explosives can be disastrous.
