Navigating through the challenging landscape of *R.E.P.O.*, players face the daunting task of overcoming 19 unique monsters, each with distinct abilities that can end your mission prematurely if not addressed swiftly. Among these, the Eye Monster, known as the Peeper, presents a unique challenge. Here’s a comprehensive guide on how to beat the Peeper in *R.E.P.O.*

How to Beat the Eye Monster (Peeper) in R.E.P.O.

The Peeper, a ceiling-dwelling adversary, is notoriously difficult to spot due to its stealthy nature. This giant eyeball remains closed and camouflaged until a player enters its vicinity, spawning unpredictably across the map. The moment it senses your presence, the Peeper opens its eye, locking your gaze and preventing you from looking away. This hypnotic connection inflicts two points of damage to your HP every second, though its threat level is considered low-tier, the disorientation it causes can be significant.

When caught in the Peeper's gaze, your point of view zooms in on the eyeball, making it challenging to navigate your surroundings or escape from other threats. To counter this, always maintain situational awareness, knowing that a Peeper can appear anywhere. Plan your routes with potential escape paths in mind, such as corners or doorways. If you can reach a door, closing it can break the Peeper's line of sight. If you're with a teammate, have them assist in closing the door to quickly disrupt the Peeper's gaze. The key is to stay calm and keep moving.

To defeat the Peeper, you'll need to use the 'Gun', available for purchase at the Service Station for approximately $47K. It may require several shots to take down this monster, and aiming while under its hypnotic influence can be tricky. However, with a steady hand and a cool head, it's manageable. As with many challenges in *R.E.P.O.*, teamwork can significantly ease the process.

With this strategy, you're now better equipped to handle the Peeper. For more tips and tricks to survive in *R.E.P.O.*, explore our other guides.
