In the thrilling world of *R.E.P.O.*, battling monsters can be quite the challenge, but the game offers a variety of items to help tilt the odds in your favor.

Unlike many other items in *R.E.P.O.*, the Human Grenade isn't easily accessible; it's tucked away in the Secret Shop, which you can visit between rounds without the threat of Clowns or other creatures.

To reach the Secret Shop, you must first complete the initial round and return to the Service Station. While you're restocking, keep an eye on the ceiling tile opposite the Health Packs. This is your entry point to the Secret Shop. However, accessing it solo requires a bit of ingenuity. You can use the following items to help you climb in after removing the tile:

  • Feather Drone
  • Zero Gravity Drone
  • Shockwave Mine

Some players have attempted to stack objects in the Service Station to reach the Secret Shop, but this method is less reliable and more cumbersome. It's advisable to save up enough in-game currency to purchase one of the aforementioned items for a smoother entry.

If you're playing with friends, accessing the Secret Shop becomes much easier. One player can minimize themselves and be guided into the shop by another standing on a cart or similar object.

Once inside the Secret Shop, you'll find the Human Grenade available for purchase starting at $2,000. While you're there, consider picking up the Duct Tape Grenade, which incorporates Human Grenades and can be a valuable addition to your inventory.

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

The Human Grenade is a throwable item in *R.E.P.O.* with a range of approximately 10 meters, making it less far-reaching than the Stun and Shock Grenades. What sets it apart from the regular Grenade is its ability to damage both monsters and players, so be sure to move out of its blast radius after throwing it.

While the Human Grenade might seem like an upgrade over the standard Grenade, its actual impact can be underwhelming. In contrast, the Duct Tape Grenade, also available in the Secret Shop, offers significantly more destructive power, making it a more strategic choice for your inventory. Keep this in mind as you prepare to face the relentless monsters in *R.E.P.O.*.
