Unlike other items in *R.E.P.O.*, the Human Grenade is tucked away in the Secret Shop, a location you'll need to work to access. The good news is, you can reach it between rounds without having to fend off Clowns or other creatures.
To get to the Secret Shop, you must first complete the initial round and then return to the Service Station. While you're stocking up on supplies, keep an eye out for the ceiling tile directly opposite the Health Packs. This is your entry point to the Secret Shop, but accessing it in solo mode isn't as straightforward as scaling a few shelves. 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 reported success by stacking objects in the Service Station, but this approach can be more hassle than it's worth. Your best bet is to save up enough funds to purchase one of the items listed above.
If you're playing with friends, getting into the Secret Shop becomes much simpler. One player can minimize themselves and be guided into the shop by another, using a cart or similar item as a stepping stone.
Once inside the Secret Shop, you're ready to shop. The Human Grenade in *R.E.P.O.* starts at $2,000. While you're there, consider picking up the Duct Tape Grenade as well, which is essentially a bundle of Human Grenades, enhancing your inventory's explosive potential.

How To Use the Human Grenade in R.E.P.O.
The Human Grenade is a unique 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 is its ability to damage both players and monsters. When you throw one, make sure to quickly move out of its blast radius.
While the Human Grenade might seem like an upgrade over the standard Grenade, its benefits can be hard to discern. In reality, the Duct Tape Grenade from the Secret Shop offers more destructive power, making it a more strategic choice. Keep this in mind when deciding what to add to your arsenal, as you'll need every advantage you can get against the relentless monsters in *R.E.P.O.*.
