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

The Peeper, a ceiling-dwelling menace, is notoriously hard to spot. This giant eyeball remains closed until you venture into its territory, spawning unpredictably across the map. The moment you're detected, the Peeper opens its eye, locking your gaze and dealing two points of damage to your HP every second the connection persists. While the Peeper is categorized in the lowest danger tier, its disorienting effect can be a significant hurdle, especially when your field of view zooms in on the eyeball, complicating navigation and evasion from other threats.

To counter the Peeper effectively, constant vigilance is key. Always anticipate its potential presence in any location and have a clear escape route planned. The best strategy is to break the Peeper's line of sight by quickly moving around a corner or through a doorway. If shutting the door is an option, do it swiftly; if you're with a teammate, having them close the door can be a game-changer. Staying mobile and composed is crucial.

Eliminating the Peeper requires the 'Gun', available at the Service Station for approximately $47K. It may take several shots to down this eye monster, and while challenging to aim while under its gaze, it's achievable with calmness. As with many challenges in *R.E.P.O.*, teamwork can significantly ease the task.
