Unlike other items in *R.E.P.O.*, the Human Grenade is tucked away in the Secret Shop, a location that requires some effort to access. Fortunately, you can visit the Secret Shop between rounds, sparing you from battling Clowns or other creatures to obtain this explosive.

To reach the Secret Shop, you must first complete the initial round and return to the Service Station. While restocking on supplies, locate the ceiling tile directly opposite the Health Packs. This tile is your gateway to the Secret Shop. However, accessing it in solo mode 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 reported stacking objects in the Service Station to reach the Secret Shop, but this method can be cumbersome. It's advisable to save up and 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 player standing on a cart or similar object.

Once inside the Secret Shop, you can purchase the Human Grenade for $2,000. While there, you might also want to pick up the Duct Tape Grenade, which is essentially a bundle of Human Grenades, to enhance your arsenal.

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, which is shorter than that of the Stun Grenade and Shock Grenade. A key distinction is that the Human Grenade can harm both players and monsters, making it 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 apparent. In contrast, the Duct Tape Grenade, also available in the Secret Shop, offers significantly more destructive power. When deciding what to add to your inventory, consider the Duct Tape Grenade for its superior impact, as the monsters in *R.E.P.O.* won't go easy on you if you come equipped with less potent explosives.

That's everything you need to know about acquiring and using the Human Grenade in *R.E.P.O.*. For those eager to delve deeper into the game, here's a comprehensive guide on all the monsters in this horror game and strategies to escape them.
