Unlike some readily available items, the Human Grenade is tucked away in the Secret Shop, a hidden gem accessible between rounds. You won't have to fend off Clowns or other creatures to reach this shop, making it a safe haven for your shopping spree.

To gain access to the Secret Shop, you need to complete the first round and then head back to the Service Station. As you're restocking on supplies, look up at the ceiling tile directly across from 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 the tools you can use to enter the Secret Shop in *R.E.P.O.* after removing the ceiling tile:

  • Feather Drone
  • Zero Gravity Drone
  • Shockwave Mine

While some players have tried stacking objects in the Service Station to reach the shop, this approach seems overly complicated. Therefore, it's advisable to save up and purchase one of the listed items for easier access.

If you're playing with friends, getting into the Secret Shop becomes a breeze. Simply have one player minimize themselves and let another guide them in by standing on a cart or similar item.

Once inside the Secret Shop, it's time to make your purchases. The Human Grenade in *R.E.P.O.* starts at $2,000. While you're there, don't miss out on the Duct Tape Grenade, which incorporates Human Grenades and can be a valuable addition 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 both the Stun Grenade and the Shock Grenade. A critical distinction is that the Human Grenade can harm both players and monsters, so it's crucial to move out of the blast radius after throwing it.

While the Human Grenade might seem like an upgrade over the regular Grenade, its utility can be underwhelming. The real star of the Secret Shop is the Duct Tape Grenade, which offers significantly more destructive power. When deciding what to add to your inventory, remember that the monsters in *R.E.P.O.* won't hold back, so choose your explosives wisely.
