Unlike other readily available items in *R.E.P.O.*, the Human Grenade is tucked away in the elusive Secret Shop. The good news? You can access it between rounds without battling Clowns or other creatures. To reach the Secret Shop, you'll need to complete the first round and return to the Service Station. While restocking, keep an eye on the ceiling tile opposite the Health Packs. That's your entry point to the Secret Shop, but accessing it in solo mode requires a bit more ingenuity than just climbing. Here are the items that can help you get inside after removing the tile:
Some players have tried stacking objects in the Service Station, but this method is cumbersome. The most reliable approach is to save up enough to purchase one of the aforementioned items.
If you're playing with friends, accessing the Secret Shop becomes much easier. One player can minimize themselves and be guided into the shop by another, using a cart or similar item as a step.
Once inside the Secret Shop, you can purchase the Human Grenade starting at $2,000. While there, don't miss out on the Duct Tape Grenade, which incorporates Human Grenades and can be a valuable addition to your inventory.
The Human Grenade is a 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 harm both players and monsters. When deploying the Human Grenade, be sure to move out of the blast radius quickly.
While the Human Grenade may seem like an upgrade, its effectiveness can be underwhelming compared to the regular Grenade. The real gem of the Secret Shop is the Duct Tape Grenade, known for causing significant chaos. Choose your explosives wisely, as the monsters in *R.E.P.O.* won't go easy on you.
