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

This ceiling-dwelling enemy, the Peeper, is notoriously difficult to spot. It lurks in random locations across the map, appearing as a giant eyeball that remains closed until you unwittingly enter its vicinity. Once it detects your presence, the Peeper opens its eye, locking your gaze and preventing you from looking away. This connection inflicts two points of damage to your HP every second, though it ranks in the lowest tier of danger, making it more of a nuisance than a lethal threat. However, the real challenge lies in the disorientation it causes, zooming in your POV on the eyeball and making it hard to navigate or escape from other potential threats.

Always be vigilant, as a Peeper can spawn anywhere. It's crucial to keep a clear escape route in mind where you can back up or move to safety. The most effective strategy to break the Peeper’s gaze is to quickly move around a corner or through a door. Shutting the door, while challenging, is achievable, and if you're with a teammate, having them close it for you can be a game-changer. Remember, the key is to keep moving and stay calm to avoid panic.

To permanently deal with the Peeper, the ‘Gun’ available at the Service Station for approximately $47K is your best bet. It may take a few shots to down this eye monster, and using the gun while under the Peeper's spell can be tricky, but it's manageable with a steady hand. As with many challenges in *R.E.P.O.*, teaming up with another player can significantly ease the task.

Armed with this knowledge on how to tackle a Peeper, you're better equipped to navigate the dangers of *R.E.P.O.* For more strategies and tips to stay safe, be sure to explore our other guides.
