The Human Grenade isn't just lying around in *R.E.P.O.*; it's tucked away in the Secret Shop, a spot you'll need to earn access to. Fortunately, you can visit the Secret Shop between rounds, away from the chaos of Clowns and other beasts.

To get to the Secret Shop, you'll need to finish the first round and then head to the Service Station. While you're stocking up on loot, keep an eye out for the ceiling tile near the Health Packs. That's your entry point into the Secret Shop. In solo mode, reaching it isn't as straightforward as climbing a few shelves. Here are some items you can use to access the Secret Shop after removing the tile:

  • Feather Drone
  • Zero Gravity Drone
  • Shockwave Mine

Some players have reported stacking objects in the Service Station to reach the Secret Shop, but this method can be cumbersome. A more reliable approach is saving up to buy one of the listed items.

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

Once inside the Secret Shop, you can purchase the Human Grenade for $2,000. While there, consider picking up the Duct Tape Grenade, which is essentially a bundle of Human Grenades, enhancing your explosive arsenal.

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

The Human Grenade is one of the many throwable items in *R.E.P.O.* with a range of about 10 meters, shorter than the Stun and Shock Grenades. Its unique feature is that it can harm both players and monsters, so it's crucial to move out of the blast radius after throwing it.

While the Human Grenade might seem like an upgrade from the regular Grenade, its benefits aren't as clear-cut. In fact, the Duct Tape Grenade, also available in the Secret Shop, offers more destructive potential. Consider this when deciding what to add to your inventory, as the monsters won't hold back if you're equipped with less potent explosives.
