In the intense world of *R.E.P.O.*, players face a daunting challenge with 19 unique monsters standing between them and their mission.

Here's a comprehensive guide on how to effectively 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 tricky to detect. It lurks in random spots across the map, appearing as a giant closed eyeball until you venture too close. Once you're within its range, the Peeper opens its eye, locking your gaze and rendering you unable to look away. This unsettling connection inflicts two points of damage to your HP every second it holds you captive. While the Peeper's damage output is relatively low, placing it in the game's least dangerous tier, its disorienting effect can prove perilous, especially when other threats are nearby.

When ensnared by the Peeper's gaze, your point of view zooms in on the eyeball, severely limiting your ability to navigate your surroundings or escape from additional enemies. To counter this, always be vigilant about potential Peeper spawn locations and maintain an escape route in mind. Your best strategy is to break line of sight by quickly moving around a corner or through a doorway. If feasible, closing the door can sever the Peeper's connection, though this might require assistance from a teammate to execute swiftly. Staying mobile and composed is key to surviving this encounter.

To eliminate the Peeper, you'll need the 'Gun', available for purchase at the Service Station for approximately $47K. It typically requires several shots to down this eye monster. Although challenging to use while under the Peeper's spell, it's achievable with a calm approach. As with many challenges in *R.E.P.O.*, having a teammate by your side can significantly ease the task.
