Here’s a detailed guide on how to effectively defeat the Peeper in *R.E.P.O.*

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

The Peeper, a formidable ceiling-dwelling enemy, is notorious for its stealth. It spawns in random spots across the map and remains camouflaged with its eye closed until you venture too close. Once it detects your presence, the Peeper opens its giant eyeball, locking your gaze and causing disorientation. It inflicts two points of damage per second to your HP while you're trapped in its stare. Though categorized in the lowest danger tier, the Peeper can be a significant obstacle due to the disorientation it causes.

When caught in the Peeper's gaze, your point of view zooms in on the eyeball, making it challenging to navigate your surroundings or escape from other threats. To counter this, always remain vigilant of potential Peeper spawns and plan your escape routes. The best strategy is to break the line of sight by moving around a corner or through a doorway. If possible, shut the door behind you to sever the Peeper's gaze. Teamwork can be invaluable here; having a teammate close the door for you can make this maneuver much easier. Remember, the key is to stay calm and keep moving.
