Navigating through *R.E.P.O.* can be challenging with 19 unique monsters standing between you and your goal. Each monster, armed with distinct abilities and attacks, requires quick thinking and precise reactions to avoid an early game-over. Among these, the Eye Monster, known as the Peeper, poses a unique threat. Here's a detailed guide on how to effectively defeat 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 notorious for its stealth. It spawns randomly across the map, appearing as a giant eyeball that remains closed until you venture into its detection range. Once it senses 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, which, while not the most dangerous in terms of damage output, can be highly disorienting.

When trapped in the Peeper's gaze, your point of view zooms in on the eyeball, severely limiting your ability to navigate your surroundings or escape from other threats. To counter this, always be mindful of potential Peeper spawn points and maintain a clear escape route. The best strategy is to move around a corner or through a doorway. If possible, closing the door can break the Peeper's line of sight. This task can be challenging but is made easier with a teammate who can shut the door for you. The key is to keep moving and stay calm.

To eliminate the Peeper, you'll need to use the 'Gun', available for purchase at the Service Station for approximately $47K. It may take several shots to bring down this eye monster. Although using the gun while under the Peeper's influence can be tricky, it's manageable if you remain composed. As with many challenges in *R.E.P.O.*, having a teammate by your side can significantly simplify the task.
