The Human Grenade in R.E.P.O. is found in the secret shop area and sounds exactly what it sounds like—a grenade that doesn’t care if you’re a monster, a teammate, or just an innocent bystander. It causes a small explosion, deals solid damage, and can earn you anywhere from $3K to $8K if used wisely. Or, it can just turn you into a fine mist if you’re not careful.
It’s worth noting that this is worse than the regular grenade, but it is cheaper.
How It Works
Cost: $3K - $8K
Damage: 25+ (to anything in range)
Blast Radius: 10 meters
Best Used For: Blowing up monsters, teammates who stole your loot, or just making a dramatic exit
When to Use It

✔ Against Groups of Monsters – If multiple enemies are swarming, this is your best chance at cleaning house quickly.
✔ On Enemies That Are Tough to Kill – Some creatures, like the Clown or Trudge, are tanky. This can help soften them up or finish them off.
✔ As a Last Resort – If you’re cornered and doomed, might as well take a few monsters with you.
When NOT to Use It
❌ In Tight Spaces – Blowing up a monster is fun. Blowing up yourself? Less fun.
❌ Near Valuable Loot – The grenade doesn’t discriminate. If you’re trying to make money, maybe don’t incinerate your payday.
❌ When Holding It for Too Long – Like any grenade, it doesn’t care if you’re “not ready yet.” Throw it before it throws you into the afterlife.
Final Thoughts
The Human Grenade is a fantastic tool if you know when and where to use it. If you don’t? Well, at least your team will have a great laugh before they loot your body. Use wisely, throw carefully, and maybe stand back a little.
