Unlike other items in *R.E.P.O.*, the Human Grenade is tucked away in the Secret Shop, a hidden location that requires some effort to reach. Fortunately, you can access it between rounds, avoiding any immediate threats from Clowns or other creatures.

To reach the Secret Shop, you'll need to complete the first round and return to the Service Station. While restocking, look for a specific ceiling tile near the Health Packs. This is your entry point to the Secret Shop, but accessing it in solo mode isn't straightforward. You'll need one of the following items to remove the tile and gain entry:

  • Feather Drone
  • Zero Gravity Drone
  • Shockwave Mine

While some players have reported success by stacking objects in the Service Station, this approach can be cumbersome. It's advisable to save up for one of the listed items for a smoother entry.

If you're playing with friends, accessing the Secret Shop becomes much simpler. 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'll find the Human Grenade available for $2,000. You might also want to pick up the Duct Tape Grenade, which combines Human Grenades, for added versatility in your arsenal.

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

The Human Grenade is a throwable item with a range of about 10 meters, which is less than that of the Stun and Shock Grenades. What sets it apart from regular grenades is its ability to damage both players and monsters. Therefore, after throwing one, it's crucial to move out of its blast radius quickly.

While the Human Grenade might seem like an upgrade, its real value can be debated. The Duct Tape Grenade, also available in the Secret Shop, is often considered more impactful due to its greater destructive potential. When choosing your explosives, remember that the monsters won't go easy on you if your arsenal isn't up to the task.

That's your comprehensive guide on acquiring and utilizing the Human Grenade in *R.E.P.O.* For further insights, check out our list of all the monsters in the game and strategies to escape them.
