In the chaotic world of *R.E.P.O.*, upgrading your arsenal is key to survival. While many items offer combat advantages, the Human Grenade stands out as a particularly potent weapon. This guide will walk you through acquiring and utilizing this explosive device.
Unlike other items readily available, the Human Grenade is tucked away in the game's Secret Shop. Accessible between rounds, you can acquire it without facing additional combat encounters. 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, accessing this area solo requires specific tools.
Here's what you'll need to breach the Secret Shop solo:
- Feather Drone
- Zero gravity Drone
- Shockwave Mine
While some players report success using stacked objects, this method is less reliable. It's generally more efficient to acquire one of the above items first. Cooperative play simplifies access; a player can simply be lifted into the shop by a teammate using objects for elevation.
Once inside the Secret Shop, the Human Grenade awaits, priced at $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. Its unique feature is its ability to damage both monsters *and* players, so be mindful of your positioning after throwing it.
Although seemingly an upgrade to the standard grenade, the Human Grenade's effectiveness is debatable. The Duct Tape Grenade generally offers superior damage output. Choose wisely based on your strategic needs, as underpowered explosives can quickly lead to your demise.
