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

The Peeper is a tricky adversary that lurks on ceilings, making it difficult to spot. This giant eyeball remains closed until you're in its vicinity, spawning unpredictably across the map. Once it senses your presence, the Peeper opens its eye, locking your gaze and dealing 2 HP of damage every second you're caught in its stare. Although the Peeper is considered a low-tier threat in terms of damage, its ability to disorient you can be dangerous, especially when other enemies are nearby.

When trapped by the Peeper's gaze, your view zooms in on the eyeball, severely limiting your ability to navigate or escape from other threats. To counter this, always be mindful that a Peeper can appear anywhere. Plan your routes with potential escape paths in mind, such as corners or doorways. If you can, retreat behind a door and shut it to break the Peeper's line of sight. Having a teammate help close the door can make this even more effective. The key is to keep moving and stay calm.

To eliminate the Peeper, you'll need to use the 'Gun', available at the Service Station for approximately $47K. It may take several shots to bring down this eyeball, and using the gun while under the Peeper's influence can be challenging. However, with steady nerves, it's possible. As with many challenges in *R.E.P.O.*, having a teammate can significantly ease the task.
