Unlike some easily accessible items, the Human Grenade is tucked away in the Secret Shop, which you can visit between rounds, sparing you the hassle of fighting off Clowns or other creatures to snag it.
To reach the Secret Shop, you must first complete the initial round and return to the Service Station. As you're stocking up on supplies, keep an eye out for a specific ceiling tile near the Health Packs. This is your entry point to the Secret Shop. However, accessing it in solo mode isn't as straightforward as just climbing up. Here are the items you'll need to get in after removing the tile:
- Feather Drone
- Zero Gravity Drone
- Shockwave Mine
Some players have tried stacking objects within the Service Station to reach the Secret Shop, but this approach is often more cumbersome than it's worth. It's advisable to save up and purchase one of the aforementioned items.
If you're playing with friends, accessing the Secret Shop becomes much simpler. One player can minimize themselves and be guided in by another standing on a cart or similar item.
Once inside the Secret Shop, you can purchase the Human Grenade for $2,000. You'll also find the Duct Tape Grenade, which incorporates Human Grenades, so consider adding that to your inventory as well.

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 shorter compared to the Stun Grenade and Shock Grenade. A key feature distinguishing it from a regular Grenade is its ability to harm both players and monsters. Thus, after throwing one, it's crucial to move out of the blast radius swiftly.
While the Human Grenade might seem like an enhanced version of the regular Grenade, its utility is often overshadowed by the Duct Tape Grenade, which offers greater destructive potential. This should influence your choice of explosives when gearing up, as monsters won't hesitate to exploit any weaknesses in your arsenal.
