Unlike other items in *R.E.P.O.*, the Human Grenade is tucked away in the Secret Shop, a hidden gem that you can access between rounds without the hassle of fighting Clowns or other beasts. To reach this clandestine location, you'll need to complete the first round and return to the Service Station. As you're stocking up on supplies, keep an eye on the ceiling tile facing the Health Packs—that's your entry point to the Secret Shop.
Accessing the Secret Shop in solo mode isn't as straightforward as climbing a few shelves. You'll need specific items to help you get through the ceiling tile. Here are your options:
- Feather Drone
- Zero Gravity Drone
- Shockwave Mine
Some players have tried stacking objects in the Service Station to reach the shop, but this method can be cumbersome. It's often wiser to save up for one of the listed items. If you're playing with friends, the process becomes much simpler: have one player minimize themselves and let another guide them into the shop by standing on a cart or another elevated item.
Once inside the Secret Shop, you're ready to make your purchase. The Human Grenade is available starting at $2,000. While you're there, don't miss out on the Duct Tape Grenade, which combines multiple Human Grenades and offers even more destructive power. Add both to your inventory to maximize your combat effectiveness.

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, which is shorter than the Stun and Shock Grenades. What sets it apart from the regular Grenade is its ability to damage both players and monsters. When you toss one, be sure to move quickly out of the blast radius to avoid friendly fire.
While the Human Grenade may seem like an upgrade, the Duct Tape Grenade from the Secret Shop truly steals the show with its capacity for greater destruction. When deciding what to add to your inventory, keep this in mind, as the monsters won't go easy on you if you come armed with less potent explosives.
