Unlike other throwable items in REPO, the shockwave grenade doesn't damage any target — it stuns them and emits a concussive wave that can push them into walls. These few seconds can be used for your crew to charge in and bash a monster with melee weapons or use the time to loot and run for the extraction point.

Here is a quick step-by-step guide on how to properly use a shockwave grenade:

Select the shockwave grenade from your inventory.
Wait for monsters to clump up before throwing.
Press E on your keyboard to throw the grenade.

The shockwave grenade will trigger upon impact, so it is best for large groups. While it may not be as deadly as other grenades, it can still cause damage if a monster is launched towards damaging structures. It is much more effective to use it in corridors or narrow hallways without items to break.

This throwable has an impressive range of 30 meters, which is the farthest you can throw any item in the game. REPO's shockwave grenade is useful, especially when a horde starts piling up and you must clear the crowd before making your next move. As mentioned earlier, this throwable doesn't do direct damage upon detonation, and your best hope will be that the monsters are thrown towards harder objects.
