Unlike many other items in R.E.P.O., the Human Grenade is not easily accessible. It's tucked away in the Secret Shop, a location you can visit between rounds without the hassle of fending off Clowns or other creatures.
To reach the Secret Shop, you must first complete the initial round and then return to the Service Station. While stocking up on supplies, keep an eye out for a specific ceiling tile near the Health Packs. This tile is your gateway to the Secret Shop. However, accessing it in solo mode isn't straightforward. You'll need one of these items to remove the tile and enter:
- Feather Drone
- Zero Gravity Drone
- Shockwave Mine
Some players have also attempted to stack objects within the Service Station to reach the Secret Shop, but this method is cumbersome and less reliable. It's wiser to save up for one of the aforementioned items.
If you're playing with friends, accessing the Secret Shop becomes much easier. One player can minimize themselves, and another can guide them in by standing on a cart or similar item.
Once inside the Secret Shop, you'll find the Human Grenade priced at $2,000. While there, don't miss the Duct Tape Grenade, which is essentially a bundle of Human Grenades, offering even more explosive power for your inventory.

How to Use the Human Grenade in R.E.P.O.
The Human Grenade is one of R.E.P.O.'s throwable items, with a range of about 10 meters. This is shorter than the Stun Grenade and Shock Grenade, but the Human Grenade has a crucial distinction: it can harm both monsters and players. Therefore, after throwing one, it's essential to quickly move out of its blast radius.
While the Human Grenade might seem like an upgrade over the standard Grenade, its utility can be questioned. The real gem in the Secret Shop is the Duct Tape Grenade, which offers significantly more destructive power. When choosing your explosives, keep in mind that monsters won't hesitate to exploit any weaknesses in your arsenal.
