In the thrilling world of *R.E.P.O.*, players face the challenge of navigating through 19 distinct types of monsters, each demanding quick reflexes and strategic thinking to overcome. Among these formidable foes is the Eye Monster, known as the Peeper, which can abruptly end your progress if not handled with care. Here's a detailed guide on how to conquer the Peeper in *R.E.P.O.*
How to Beat the Eye Monster (Peeper) in R.E.P.O.
The Peeper, a ceiling-dwelling menace, is notoriously difficult to detect due to its habit of spawning in random locations across the map. This giant eyeball remains closed until you unwittingly enter its range, making it a stealthy threat. The moment it senses your presence, the Peeper opens wide, locking your gaze and preventing you from looking away. This eerie connection inflicts two points of damage to your HP every second, which, while not the most dangerous aspect of the Peeper, can be highly disorienting.
When caught in the Peeper's gaze, your field of view zooms in on the eyeball, severely limiting your ability to navigate your surroundings or escape from other lurking enemies. To counter this, always be vigilant about potential Peeper spawn points and maintain a clear escape route, such as a corner or a doorway. If you can, shut the door to break the Peeper's line of sight; this can be challenging solo but becomes easier with a teammate's assistance.

The definitive way to defeat the Peeper is by using the 'Gun', available for purchase at the Service Station for approximately $47K. It may take several shots to bring down this eye monster, and using the gun while under the Peeper's influence can be tricky. Staying calm is key, and as with many challenges in *R.E.P.O.*, teamwork can significantly simplify the task.
