How to Beat the Eye Monster (Peeper) in R.E.P.O.
The Peeper is a tricky adversary, lurking on ceilings and remaining nearly invisible until you're in its sights. This giant eyeball, which spawns randomly across the map, keeps itself closed until you're close enough to trigger its opening. Once it senses your presence, the Peeper locks eyes with you, causing your gaze to fixate on it. This not only disorients you but also inflicts two points of damage per second as long as you're caught in its stare. Although the Peeper ranks among the less dangerous monsters, its ability to disorient you can make it particularly challenging, especially if other threats are nearby.
While under the Peeper's gaze, your field of view zooms in on the eyeball, making it difficult to navigate your surroundings or escape from additional enemies. To counter this, always maintain situational awareness, keeping potential escape routes in mind. The best strategy is to quickly move out of its line of sight by going around a corner or through a door. If possible, closing the door can break the Peeper's gaze; this might be easier with a teammate's help. Staying calm and mobile is crucial.
To defeat the Peeper, you'll need the 'Gun', available for purchase at the Service Station for around $47K. It may take several shots to bring down this eye monster, and using the gun while trapped in its gaze can be tough. Staying calm is essential, and having a teammate can simplify the process significantly.
