The Human Grenade is not as easy to come by as other items in *R.E.P.O.*; it's tucked away in the Secret Shop, a location you can only access between rounds, free from the threat of Clowns and other creatures.

To reach the Secret Shop, you'll need to finish the first round and return to the Service Station. While stocking up on supplies, locate the ceiling tile opposite the Health Packs. This is your entry point to the Secret Shop. However, accessing it in solo mode requires some creativity. You can use the following items to help you get inside after removing the tile:

  • Feather Drone
  • Zero Gravity Drone
  • Shockwave Mine

Some players have tried stacking objects in the Service Station to reach the shop, but this approach is often more hassle than it's worth. Therefore, it's advisable to save up for one of the aforementioned items.

If you're playing with friends, accessing the Secret Shop becomes much easier. One player can minimize themselves, while another guides them into the shop by standing on a cart or another item.

Once inside the Secret Shop, you can purchase the Human Grenade for $2,000. While you're there, consider picking up the Duct Tape Grenade, which is essentially a cluster of Human Grenades, adding even more firepower to 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 about 10 meters, which is shorter than that of the Stun Grenade and Shock Grenade. What sets it apart from the regular Grenade is its ability to harm both players and monsters. Therefore, it's crucial to move out of the blast radius after throwing it.

While the Human Grenade might seem like an upgrade over the regular Grenade, its benefits are less clear. In fact, the Duct Tape Grenade, available in the Secret Shop, offers much greater destructive potential. When deciding what to add to your inventory, remember that the monsters in *R.E.P.O.* won't go easy on you if you're equipped with less effective explosives.

And that's how you can find and use the Human Grenade in *R.E.P.O.* For those interested in more, here's a guide on all the monsters in the game and how to escape them.
