Unlike other items easily found in *R.E.P.O.*, the Human Grenade is tucked away in the elusive Secret Shop. Fortunately, you can access this shop between rounds, sparing you from battling Clowns or other creatures while seeking it out.
To reach the Secret Shop, complete the first round and return to the Service Station. Amidst your loot gathering, locate the ceiling tile directly opposite the Health Packs. This tile is your gateway to the Secret Shop, but accessing it solo requires more than just climbing. Here are the tools you'll need to breach the Secret Shop after removing the tile:
- Feather Drone
- Zero Gravity Drone
- Shockwave Mine
While some players have reported success by stacking objects in the Service Station, this approach seems less efficient. Therefore, the best strategy is to save up enough in-game currency to purchase one of the aforementioned items.
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, using a cart or similar object for elevation.
Once inside the Secret Shop, you can purchase the Human Grenade for $2,000. While there, consider grabbing the Duct Tape Grenade, which is composed of Human Grenades, to bolster your inventory further.

How To Use the Human Grenade in R.E.P.O.
The Human Grenade is a throwable weapon in *R.E.P.O.* with a range of approximately 10 meters, significantly shorter than that of the Stun Grenade or Shock Grenade. A key distinction from the regular Grenade is its ability to harm both players and monsters, making it crucial to move out of the blast radius after throwing it.
Although the Human Grenade might seem like an upgrade over the standard Grenade, its effectiveness is debatable. The real gem in the Secret Shop is the Duct Tape Grenade, capable of causing much more devastation. When deciding what to add to your inventory, keep in mind that monsters won't hold back if you're equipped with less potent explosives.
