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 will walk you through finding and utilizing this explosive device.

Unlike readily available items, the Human Grenade is tucked away in the game's Secret Shop. Conveniently accessible between rounds, you can acquire it without facing additional enemies. To reach the 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 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. Some players report success using stacked objects within the Service Station, but this method is less reliable. Therefore, acquiring one of the aforementioned items is the most efficient approach.

Cooperative play simplifies access. One player can minimize their character while another, using objects for height, guides them into the shop.

Once inside the Secret Shop, the Human Grenade awaits, priced at $2,000. While you're there, consider also purchasing the Duct Tape Grenade, a more powerful variant crafted from Human Grenades.

The Human Grenade's range is approximately 10 meters, shorter than stun or shock grenades. Crucially, unlike standard grenades, it damages both monsters *and* players. Therefore, remember to clear the blast radius after throwing it.

While initially appearing superior to regular grenades, the Human Grenade's practical value is debatable. The Duct Tape Grenade, also found in the Secret Shop, generally proves more effective. Choose wisely, as underpowered explosives will leave you vulnerable.
