Unlike other items you might stumble upon easily, the Human Grenade is tucked away in the Secret Shop, a place you'll need to work a bit to access. Fortunately, you can visit the Secret Shop between rounds, so no need to fend off Clowns or other creatures while trying to get there.
To reach the Secret Shop, you must first complete the initial round and return to the Service Station. While restocking your supplies, keep an eye out for a specific ceiling tile near the Health Packs. This is your entry point to the Secret Shop, but in solo mode, it's not as simple as just climbing up. Here are the items you can use to gain access after removing the tile:
- Feather Drone
- Zero Gravity Drone
- Shockwave Mine
Some players have tried stacking objects within the Service Station to reach the tile, but that method can be cumbersome. It's probably wiser to save up and purchase one of the aforementioned items for a smoother entry.
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 similar item.
Once inside the Secret Shop, you're ready to shop. The Human Grenade in *R.E.P.O.* starts at $2,000. While you're there, consider picking up the Duct Tape Grenade, which is essentially a bundle of Human Grenades, to maximize your explosive power.

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 less than that of the Stun Grenade or Shock Grenade. The key difference is that the Human Grenade can harm both players and monsters, so make sure to clear the area after throwing it.
Although the Human Grenade might seem like an upgrade over the standard Grenade, its actual impact can be underwhelming. The Duct Tape Grenade, available in the same shop, offers far more destructive potential. When deciding what to add to your arsenal, consider the Duct Tape Grenade for maximum effectiveness against the relentless monsters of *R.E.P.O.*.
