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

The Peeper is a tricky adversary, lurking on the ceiling and often spotting you before you even notice its presence. This giant eyeball remains closed until you're close enough to trigger its attention. Once it detects you, the Peeper opens its eye, locking your gaze and preventing you from looking away, causing two points of damage to your HP every second the connection holds. Although the Peeper ranks low in terms of danger, its ability to disorient you can be a significant challenge, especially when trying to navigate your surroundings or escape from other threats.

When caught in the Peeper's gaze, your point of view zooms in on the eyeball, complicating movement and potentially leaving you vulnerable to other enemies. To counter this, always be on the lookout for potential Peeper spawns, which can appear randomly across the map. Keeping a clear escape route in mind is crucial. If you find yourself locked in its gaze, the best strategy is to move to a corner or through a doorway. If possible, shut the door to break the Peeper's line of sight. This can be challenging, but having a teammate assist in closing the door can make it much easier. The key is to stay calm and keep moving.

To defeat the Peeper, you'll need the 'Gun', available for purchase at the Service Station for approximately $47K. It may take several shots to take down this eye monster, and using the gun while under its gaze can be difficult. However, with composure, it's achievable. As with many challenges in *R.E.P.O.*, teamwork can significantly ease the task.
