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

The Peeper is a tricky adversary, often lurking on ceilings and blending into the environment. This giant eyeball remains closed until you inadvertently enter its detection zone, spawning unpredictably across the map.

Once the Peeper senses your presence, it opens its eye, locking your gaze and preventing you from looking away. While trapped, you'll suffer two points of damage to your HP every second. Although the Peeper ranks low in terms of threat level, the disorientation it causes can be perilous, especially when other enemies are nearby.

When under the Peeper's influence, your point of view zooms in on its eyeball, severely limiting your ability to navigate or escape from other threats. To counter this, always stay vigilant about potential Peeper spawn points and keep a clear escape route in mind. The most effective tactic is to break line of sight by moving around a corner or through a door. If possible, have a teammate close the door to sever the Peeper's gaze quickly. Remember, staying calm and mobile is key.

As with many challenges in *R.E.P.O.*, having a teammate can significantly simplify the task.
