Unlike other items in *R.E.P.O.*, the Human Grenade is tucked away in the Secret Shop, a location you'll need to work to access. Fortunately, you can visit the Secret Shop between rounds, avoiding the need to fend off Clowns or other creatures.

To reach the Secret Shop, complete the first round and return to the Service Station. While restocking on supplies, locate the ceiling tile opposite the Health Packs. This tile is your entry point to the Secret Shop. In solo mode, accessing it isn't as straightforward as climbing a few shelves. Here are the items you can use to enter the Secret Shop after removing the tile:

  • Feather Drone
  • Zero Gravity Drone
  • Shockwave Mine

Some players have tried stacking objects in the Service Station to reach the Secret Shop, but this method is cumbersome. It's more efficient to save up and purchase one of the items listed above.

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 player standing on a cart or similar item.

Once inside the Secret Shop, you can purchase the Human Grenade for $2,000. While there, consider also picking up the Duct Tape Grenade, which is made from Human Grenades, to enhance 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 about 10 meters, shorter than the Stun and Shock Grenades. A key distinction is that the Human Grenade can harm both players and monsters, so it's crucial to move out of its blast radius after throwing it.

While the Human Grenade might seem like an upgrade over the regular Grenade, its benefits are not immediately clear. In contrast, the Duct Tape Grenade, also available in the Secret Shop, offers significantly more destructive power. When choosing your explosives, keep in mind that the monsters won't go easy on you if you come equipped with less effective options.

That's everything you need to know about acquiring and using the Human Grenade in *R.E.P.O.*. For more insights, explore all the monsters in the game and learn how to escape them.
