*R.E.P.O.* has emerged as a standout horror game in 2025, captivating the streamer community with its diverse array of monsters, each with unique characteristics and strategies for survival. Below, you'll find a comprehensive guide to all the monsters in *R.E.P.O.* and the best ways to handle them.

All Monsters in R.E.P.O.

Animal

Threat Level: Low

The Animal is quick but harmless in terms of damage. It's a pushover in combat, making it easy to eliminate as it doesn't fight back.

Apex Predator (Duck)

Threat Level: Low

The Apex Predator is docile unless provoked. For those looking to earn some easy cash, lure it to the extraction zone and crush it using the piston.

Bang

Threat Level: Medium

True to its name, the Bang is an explosive threat that will rush and detonate upon spotting or being attacked. The safest way to neutralize it is by throwing it into water, lava, or acid, which can also be used to damage other monsters.

Bowtie

Threat Level: Low

When a Bowtie spots you, its scream will immobilize and push you back, potentially into harmful objects. However, it's slow and vulnerable when screaming, making it an easy target if you can sneak up on it.

Chef

Threat Level: Medium

The Chef's predictable attacks involve jumping and slashing with knives. Dodge its attack to make it stumble, providing an opening for your counterattack.

Clown

Threat Level: High

The Clown poses a significant threat with its laser beam and melee charge. Exploit its brief stun period after firing the laser to either attack or make your escape.

Gnome

Threat Level: Low

Gnomes move in groups, focusing on destroying your loot rather than attacking you directly. They're fragile and can be killed by slamming them against a wall or the floor.

Headman

Threat Level: Low

The Headman, a floating head, is mostly harmless unless provoked by light. Avoid shining lights at it to keep it at bay.

Hidden

Threat Level: Medium

The Hidden appears as a black smoke cloud that can stun you and cause you to drop your items, potentially pulling you towards other enemies. It's hard to spot and kill, so hiding is often the best strategy.

Huntsman

Threat Level: Medium

The blind Huntsman reacts to sound and can kill with its shotgun at close range. Stick to its predictable patrol routes to avoid confrontation.

Mentalist

Threat Level: Medium

The Mentalist's anti-gravity field can be deadly, lifting and slamming you down. It teleports, making it hard to escape, but it's vulnerable to melee attacks, and other players can help pull you out of its field.

Reaper

Threat Level: Medium

The Reaper is slow and deaf, making it easy to avoid. Use guns and ranged weapons to safely take it down from a distance.

Robe

Threat Level: High

Robe is fast and aggressive, entering a frenzy when looked at directly. With high HP, it's best to avoid eye contact and hide until it moves on.

Rugrat

Threat Level: Low

Rugrat scavenges and throws items at you but will flee if it has nothing to throw. It takes multiple people to lift and smash it to kill it, so it's often best to steer clear.

Spewer

Threat Level: Medium

The Spewer chases and vomits at players, potentially causing them to vomit and damage nearby players or items. Grab and shake it to make it retreat.

Shadow Child

Threat Level: Low

Despite its eerie appearance, the Shadow Child has low HP and can be easily dispatched with a single attack.

Trudge

Threat Level: High

Trudge is slow but deadly, pulling you in for a mace strike that's often fatal. Hiding is the best strategy as it takes significant effort to kill.

Upscream

Threat Level: Medium

Upscreams travel in groups, capable of throwing you back and stunning you. Use a tranq gun to stun them, then grab and slam them into a surface to finish them off.
