In the chaotic world 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 readily available items, the Human Grenade is tucked away in the game's Secret Shop. Fortunately, you can access this hidden store between rounds, eliminating the need to battle enemies to reach it. To unlock the Secret Shop, complete the first round and return to the Service Station. Look for a removable ceiling tile near the Health Packs—this is your entrance. However, solo access requires specific tools.
Here's how to breach the Secret Shop solo:
- Feather Drone
- Zero gravity Drone
- Shockwave Mine
While some players report success stacking objects, this method is less reliable. The most efficient approach involves purchasing one of the above items.
Cooperative play simplifies access. A player can minimize themselves, allowing a teammate to assist them into the shop using elevated objects like carts.
Once inside, the Human Grenade awaits, priced at $2,000. While you're there, consider 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 harm both monsters and players, making strategic positioning crucial after deployment.
While seemingly an upgrade to the standard grenade, the Duct Tape Grenade often proves more effective. Choose wisely, as underpowered explosives can quickly lead to your demise.
