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

This ceiling-dwelling enemy is notoriously difficult to spot, and it will almost certainly see you before you see it. The Peeper, a giant eyeball, spawns in random locations on the map and remains closed until a player enters its vicinity.

Once it detects you, the Peeper opens its eye, locking your gaze and making it impossible to look away. This connection deals two points of damage to your HP every second it remains. Although the damage from a Peeper isn't usually a significant threat—being part of the lowest danger tier—it can be incredibly disorienting when you're caught in its sights.

When trapped by the Peeper's gaze, your point of view zooms in on the eyeball, making it difficult to navigate your surroundings or, in the worst-case scenario, sprint away from another enemy. Always stay alert, as a Peeper can spawn anywhere. Keep a clear path in mind where you can retreat or maneuver. The best strategy is to walk around a corner or through a door; shutting the door, although challenging, is feasible. If you have a teammate, having them close the door for you can cut off the Peeper’s gaze more easily. It's crucial to keep moving and avoid panicking.

Ultimately, the only way to defeat a Peeper is with the 'Gun', available for purchase at the Service Station for approximately $47K. It may take several shots to take down this eye monster. Although it's challenging to use the gun while under the Peeper's influence, it's possible if you stay calm. As with many challenges in *R.E.P.O.*, having another player's assistance can make the task significantly easier.
