How To Get and Use the Human Grenade in R.E.P.O.

In R.E.P.O., upgrading your arsenal is key to surviving the monstrous encounters. 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.

Locating the Human Grenade: The Secret Shop

Unlike readily available items, the Human Grenade is tucked away in a hidden location: the Secret Shop. Accessible between rounds at the Service Station, reaching it requires a bit of ingenuity. After completing the first round, return to the Service Station. Focus on the ceiling tile near the Health Packs – this is your entry point to the Secret Shop.

Accessing the Secret Shop solo requires specific items:

• Feather Drone
• Zero gravity Drone
• Shockwave Mine

Some players report success by stacking objects, but this method proves less reliable. It's generally more efficient to acquire one of the aforementioned items. With friends, accessing the shop becomes easier; one player can minimize themselves while another guides them in using objects for elevation.

Once inside, the Human Grenade awaits, priced at $2,000. While there, consider also purchasing the Duct Tape Grenade, a more powerful variant.

Utilizing the Human Grenade

The Human Grenade is a throwable weapon with a 10-meter range, shorter than stun or shock grenades. Its unique feature is its ability to harm both monsters and players. Therefore, strategic positioning is crucial after throwing it.

Although initially seeming like a grenade upgrade, the Human Grenade's effectiveness is arguably surpassed by the Duct Tape Grenade. The latter offers significantly more destructive power. Consider this when strategizing your loadout, as facing monsters with underwhelming explosives can be detrimental.
