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 notice it. This giant eyeball remains closed until you come into its vicinity, spawning unpredictably across the map.

Once the Peeper senses your presence, it opens up, locking your gaze and preventing you from looking away. This results in a constant drain of two HP points per second while you're fixated on it. Although the Peeper falls into the lowest tier of danger, its disorienting effect can be quite challenging, especially when it zooms your perspective onto the eyeball, making it difficult to navigate or escape from other threats.

To counter the Peeper, always stay vigilant as it can appear anywhere. Keep potential escape routes in mind, such as corners or doorways. If you manage to get behind a door, closing it can break the Peeper's gaze. If you're with a teammate, have them help you shut the door to make this easier. It's crucial to keep moving and stay calm during these encounters.
