Unlike some of the other items in *R.E.P.O.*, the Human Grenade is tucked away in a location that requires some effort to reach—the Secret Shop. Fortunately, you can access it between rounds, so you won't have to fend off Clowns or other creatures to claim your explosive.

To reach the Secret Shop, complete the first round and return to the Service Station. While restocking on supplies, look for the ceiling tile directly above the Health Packs. This is your entry point into the Secret Shop, but accessing it in solo mode isn't as straightforward as climbing a few shelves. Here are the items you'll need to use 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 items listed above 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, consider picking up the Duct Tape Grenade, which is made from Human Grenades, to enhance your inventory further.

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 Grenade and Shock Grenade. A key distinction is that the Human Grenade 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 over the regular Grenade, its benefits are not immediately clear. In contrast, the Duct Tape Grenade, also available in the Secret Shop, offers significantly more destructive power. Keep this in mind when deciding what to add to your inventory, as the monsters won't hold back if you come at them with less potent explosives.
