In *R.E.P.O.*, as you battle through hordes of monsters, you can purchase various items to ease your fights. Among these, some items stand out as particularly effective. If you're keen on acquiring the Human Grenade, here's a detailed guide on how to find and use it.

Unlike many other items in *R.E.P.O.*, the Human Grenade is tucked away in the Secret Shop, a location that requires some effort to access. The good news is that you can visit the Secret Shop between rounds, avoiding the need to fend off Clowns and other creatures.

To reach the Secret Shop, you must first complete the initial round and then return to the Service Station. As you stock up on supplies, keep an eye out for a specific ceiling tile near the Health Packs. This tile is your gateway to the Secret Shop, though accessing it in solo mode isn't as straightforward as climbing a few shelves. Here are the tools you can use to enter the Secret Shop after removing the tile:

  • Feather Drone
  • Zero Gravity Drone
  • Shockwave Mine

Some players have tried stacking objects in the Service Station to gain entry, but this approach can be cumbersome. The most efficient strategy seems to be saving up enough funds to purchase one of the aforementioned items.

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'll find the Human Grenade available for purchase starting at $2,000. While you're there, consider picking up the Duct Tape Grenade, which is crafted from Human Grenades, to enhance your arsenal further.

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 approximately 10 meters, shorter than that of the Stun Grenade and Shock Grenade. What sets the Human Grenade apart from the regular Grenade is its ability to damage both players and monsters. Therefore, it's crucial to move out of the blast radius after throwing one.

While the Human Grenade might seem like an upgrade to the regular Grenade, its advantages are not immediately clear. In fact, the Duct Tape Grenade, also found in the Secret Shop, offers significantly more destructive power. Keep this in mind when deciding what to add to your inventory, as you'll need all the firepower you can get against the relentless monsters in *R.E.P.O.*.

That's the complete guide on how to find and use the Human Grenade in *R.E.P.O.* For those interested in further exploration, here's a list of all the monsters in the game and strategies to escape them.
