The Human Grenade is tucked away in the Secret Shop, which you can only access after completing the first round. Head back to the Service Station, and while you're gathering loot, keep an eye on the ceiling tile facing the Health Packs. This is your entry point to the Secret Shop, but accessing it in solo mode requires some ingenuity. Here are the items you can use to reach the Secret Shop after removing the tile:
- Feather Drone
- Zero Gravity Drone
- Shockwave Mine
Some players have tried stacking objects in the Service Station to gain access, but this method can be more hassle than it's worth. Your best bet is to save up enough to purchase one of the listed items.
If you're playing with friends, getting into the Secret Shop is 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, don't miss out on the Duct Tape Grenade, which is a combination of Human Grenades and could be a valuable addition to your 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, which is less than that of the Stun Grenade or Shock Grenade. What sets it apart is its ability to damage both players and monsters. So, when you throw one, make sure you're out of the blast radius.
While the Human Grenade might seem like an upgrade from the regular Grenade, its effectiveness can be underwhelming. The real star of the Secret Shop is the Duct Tape Grenade, which packs a much greater punch. Choose wisely when adding items to your inventory, as the monsters won't hold back if your explosives don't measure up.
