The Human Grenade isn't just lying around; it's tucked away in the elusive Secret Shop. Fortunately, you can visit this shop between rounds, sparing you from combat with Clowns or other creatures during your quest for this explosive.

To reach the Secret Shop, complete the first round and return to the Service Station. As you stock up on supplies, keep an eye on the ceiling tile opposite the Health Packs. This tile is your gateway to the Secret Shop. Accessing it in solo mode requires a bit of ingenuity. Here are some tools that can help you get in after removing the tile:

  • Feather Drone
  • Zero Gravity Drone
  • Shockwave Mine

Some players have tried stacking objects within the Service Station, but this approach can be cumbersome. Opting for one of the above items might be the more efficient choice, depending on your available funds.

If you're playing with friends, accessing the Secret Shop becomes much simpler. One player can minimize themselves and be guided in by another standing on a cart or similar object.

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 combines multiple Human Grenades, for an even more potent option.

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, shorter than the Stun and Shock Grenades. What sets it apart from the regular Grenade is its ability to harm both monsters and players. When you throw one, make sure to move out of the blast radius quickly.

While the Human Grenade might seem like an upgrade, its benefits are not immediately clear. In contrast, the Duct Tape Grenade, also available in the Secret Shop, offers significantly more destructive power. Consider this when deciding what to add to your inventory, as you'll need every advantage against the relentless monsters in *R.E.P.O.*.
