In R.E.P.O., upgrading your arsenal is key to survival. While many items offer combat advantages, the Human Grenade stands out. This guide details how to acquire and effectively utilize this powerful explosive.


Finding the Human Grenade in R.E.P.O.

The Human Grenade isn't readily available; it's tucked away in the game's Secret Shop. Accessible between rounds, this hidden store requires a bit of effort to reach. You'll find it within the Service Station after completing the first round.

The entrance is concealed behind a ceiling tile near the Health Packs. Accessing it solo requires specific items: Feather Drone, Zero gravity Drone, or Shockwave Mine. While some players report using stacked objects, these methods are less reliable. Purchasing one of the aforementioned items is the most efficient approach. Cooperative play simplifies access; one player can minimize themselves while another guides them through using elevated objects.

Once inside, the Human Grenade awaits. Priced at $2,000, it's a worthwhile investment. You'll also find the Duct Tape Grenade, a more powerful variant, making the Secret Shop a valuable stop.

Using the Human Grenade in R.P.E.O.

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

While seemingly an upgrade to standard grenades, the Duct Tape Grenade often proves more effective. Its superior destructive power makes it the preferred choice for many players. Carefully consider your explosive options, as underpowered choices can quickly lead to your demise.
