The Human Grenade isn’t just lying around; it's tucked away in the Secret Shop, a location you can access between rounds, making it safe from the chaos of battling Clowns and other creatures.

To reach the Secret Shop, you'll need to finish the first round and then return to the Service Station. While stocking up on supplies, keep an eye on the ceiling tile near the Health Packs. That's your entry point to the Secret Shop. Accessing it in solo mode can be tricky and requires specific items to remove the tile:

  • Feather Drone
  • Zero Gravity Drone
  • Shockwave Mine

While some players have tried stacking objects to reach the shop, it's often more hassle than it's worth. Instead, save up to buy one of the items listed above for a smoother entry.

If you're playing with friends, getting into the Secret Shop becomes much easier. One player can minimize themselves, and another can guide them in by 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 is essentially a bundle of Human Grenades, to maximize your explosive arsenal.

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 damage both players and monsters. When you throw one, make sure to move out of the blast radius quickly.

Although the Human Grenade might seem like an upgrade, its effectiveness can be underwhelming compared to the Duct Tape Grenade, which offers more destructive power. Choose your explosives wisely, as the monsters won't go easy on you if you come unprepared.
