How to Beat the Eye Monster (Peeper) in R.E.P.O.

The Peeper is a sneaky ceiling-dweller that's tough to spot, often catching players off guard. This giant eyeball monster remains closed until you enter its vicinity, spawning unpredictably across the map.

Once the Peeper detects your presence, it opens its eye, locking your gaze and making it impossible to look away. This connection inflicts two points of damage per second to your HP. Although the Peeper ranks in the lowest tier of danger, its disorienting effect can still be troublesome, particularly when it zooms your POV onto the eyeball, making it challenging to navigate or escape from other threats.

To evade the Peeper's gaze, always be mindful of its potential to spawn anywhere. Keep a clear escape route in mind, such as backing up around a corner or moving through a door. If you can, shut the door to break the Peeper's line of sight. This can be easier with a teammate's help to slam the door shut for you. The key is to stay calm and keep moving.
