*R.E.P.O.* has taken the horror gaming scene by storm in 2025, captivating streamers and players alike with its diverse array of monsters, each requiring unique strategies to overcome. Below is a comprehensive guide to all the monsters you'll encounter in *R.E.P.O.* and the best ways to handle them.

All Monsters in R.E.P.O.

Animal

Threat Level: Low

The Animal is swift but poses minimal threat, dealing negligible damage. It's an easy target as it doesn't retaliate, making it simple to eliminate.

Apex Predator (Duck)

Threat Level: Low

The Apex Predator remains harmless unless provoked. For those looking to earn some quick cash, lure it to the extraction zone and crush it under the piston.

Bang

Threat Level: Medium

True to its name, the Bang is an explosive enemy that rushes towards you upon detection or attack, detonating on impact. Safely dispose of it by throwing it into water, lava, or acid. Cleverly, you can also use Bangs to damage other monsters.

Bowtie

Threat Level: Low

Bowties emit a scream that immobilizes players, preventing movement and pushing them back. Although the scream itself is harmless, it can lead to secondary damage from environmental hazards. Approach stealthily and attack when it's not screaming, as it's vulnerable to all forms of attack.

Chef

Threat Level: Medium

The Chef's predictable attack pattern involves jumping and slashing with knives. Dodge its attack to make it stumble, providing a window for your counterattack.

Clown

Threat Level: High

The Clown is a formidable foe, using a height-adjusting laser beam and a charging melee attack. Exploit its brief stun period after firing the laser to either attack or escape.

Gnome

Threat Level: Low

Gnomes, often found in groups, prioritize destroying your loot over attacking you. They're fragile and can be easily dispatched by slamming them against a wall or floor.

Headman

Threat Level: Low

The Headman, a floating head, is generally non-aggressive unless provoked by light. Avoid shining lights on it to keep it at bay.

Hidden

Threat Level: Medium

The Hidden, appearing as a cloud of black smoke, can stun you and cause you to drop your items, potentially dragging you towards other enemies. Its elusive nature makes it hard to kill, so hiding is often the best strategy.

Huntsman

Threat Level: Medium

The blind Huntsman reacts to sound, firing its shotgun indiscriminately. Its predictable patrol route makes it easy to avoid, but engaging it is risky due to its lethal close-range shots.

Mentalist

Threat Level: Medium

The Mentalist, resembling an alien, uses an anti-gravity field to levitate and then slam objects down, causing significant damage. It can teleport, making it hard to escape. Use melee weapons to take it down quickly, and rely on teammates to pull you out of its field if caught.

Reaper

Threat Level: Medium

The Reaper, though strong, is slow and deaf, making it easy to avoid. Use ranged weapons to safely eliminate it from a distance.

Robe

Threat Level: High

Robe is a fast and aggressive monster that chases players relentlessly. Direct eye contact triggers a frenzy, increasing its speed and aggression. Avoid looking at it and hide until it loses interest, as it has high HP and is tough to fight.

Rugrat

Threat Level: Low

Rugrat, while seemingly harmless, can throw valuable items at you if spotted. It's best to avoid it, as killing it requires multiple people to lift and smash it against a surface.

Spewer

Threat Level: Medium

The Spewer, resembling a tadpole, chases and vomits on players, causing them to vomit and potentially damage nearby players or items. Grab and shake it to make it retreat.

Shadow Child

Threat Level: Low

Despite its eerie appearance, the Shadow Child is easily dispatched with a single hit due to its low HP.

Trudge

Threat Level: High

Trudge, slow yet deadly, pulls players towards it before delivering a devastating mace strike, often resulting in an instant kill. Hide and wait for it to move on, as it's resource-intensive to defeat.

Upscream

Threat Level: Medium

Upscreams travel in groups, capable of grabbing and throwing players to cause damage and stun. Use a tranq gun to stun them, then grab and slam them into a surface for an effective takedown.
