Unlike other items readily available in *R.E.P.O.*, the Human Grenade is tucked away in the elusive Secret Shop, requiring a bit of effort to access. Fortunately, you can visit this shop between rounds, so you won't have to fend off Clowns or other creatures to get there.

To reach the Secret Shop, you'll need to complete the first round and return to the Service Station. As you're restocking on supplies, keep an eye out for the ceiling tile near the Health Packs. This is your entry point to the Secret Shop, but accessing it solo isn't as straightforward as climbing a few shelves. Here are some items you can use to help you get into the Secret Shop after removing the tile:

• Feather Drone
• Zero Gravity Drone
• Shockwave Mine

Some players have reported stacking objects at the Service Station to reach the Secret Shop, but this method seems cumbersome. It's generally wiser to save up and purchase one of the items listed above.

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 other elevated 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 crafted from Human Grenades, to add to your inventory.

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

The Human Grenade is one of many throwable items in *R.E.P.O.* with a range of about 10 meters, shorter than the Stun Grenade and Shock Grenade. A key distinction is that the Human Grenade can damage both players and monsters, so it's crucial to move out of the blast radius after throwing one.

Although the Human Grenade might seem like an upgrade from the regular Grenade, its utility is debatable. In contrast, the Duct Tape Grenade, also available in the Secret Shop, offers significantly more destructive power. When choosing what to add to your inventory, keep in mind that the monsters won't hold back if you're equipped with less effective explosives.

And that's how you can acquire and use the Human Grenade in *R.E.P.O.* For more tips, check out guides on all the monsters in this horror game and strategies to escape them.
