The Human Grenade isn't just lying around; it's tucked away in the Secret Shop, a spot you can access between rounds without the hassle of fighting off Clowns or other creatures. To reach the Secret Shop, you'll need to complete the first round and return to the Service Station. While you're there, look for the ceiling tile opposite the Health Packs. That's your entry point to the Secret Shop, but getting in solo isn't as straightforward as climbing a few shelves. Here are the items you can use to access the Secret Shop after removing the tile:

Feather Drone
Zero Gravity Drone
Shockwave Mine

Some players have tried stacking objects in the Service Station to reach the Secret Shop, but this method can be more trouble than it's worth. It's best to save up and purchase one of the items listed above. 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 standing on a cart or similar item.

Once inside the Secret Shop, you can purchase the Human Grenade for $2,000. While you're there, consider picking up the Duct Tape Grenade, which is essentially a bundle of Human Grenades, to maximize your explosive potential.

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, shorter than the Stun and Shock Grenades. What sets it apart from the regular Grenade is its ability to damage both players and monsters. When you throw one, make sure to move out of the blast radius quickly.

While the Human Grenade might seem like an upgrade, its effectiveness can be underwhelming compared to other options. The real star of the Secret Shop is the Duct Tape Grenade, which offers significantly more destructive power. Keep this in mind when choosing your inventory items, as the monsters won't go easy on you if you come unprepared.
