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

The Peeper is a tricky ceiling-dweller that's hard to spot and will likely see you first. This giant eyeball spawns randomly across the map, remaining closed until you're nearby.

Once the Peeper senses your presence, it opens its eye, locking your gaze and preventing you from looking away. This connection deals two points of damage to your HP every second it's maintained. While the Peeper's damage might not be lethal, being in its lowest danger tier, it can be disorienting, especially when it zooms your POV onto the eyeball, making it tough to navigate or escape from other threats.

Always be vigilant, as the Peeper can appear anywhere. Keep a clear escape route in mind, such as a corner or a door. If you can, shut the door to break the Peeper's gaze; it's challenging but possible. Having a teammate to close the door for you can make this much easier. The key is to keep moving and stay calm.
