In 2025, *R.E.P.O.* has become a standout horror game, capturing the attention of the streaming community with its diverse roster of monsters. Each creature brings its own unique challenges and strategies for survival. Below, we delve into every monster you'll encounter in *R.E.P.O.*, along with the best methods to handle them effectively.
All Monsters in R.E.P.O.
Animal
Threat Level: Low
The Animal is known for its swift movement but poses minimal threat due to its lack of combativeness. It's easy to eliminate since it won't retaliate.
Apex Predator (Duck)
Threat Level: Low
The Apex Predator remains harmless unless provoked. For those looking to gain some easy cash, lure it to the extraction zone and use the piston to crush it.
Bang
Threat Level: Medium
The Bang is an explosive enemy that rushes towards you upon detection or attack, detonating on impact. Safely dispose of it by throwing it into water, lava, or acid. It can also be used strategically to damage other monsters.
Bowtie
Threat Level: Low
Bowties emit a scream that immobilizes and repels players, potentially pushing them into harm's way. Since they're slow and defenseless while screaming, a stealthy approach when they're distracted is your best defense.
Chef
Threat Level: Medium
The Chef's predictable attack pattern involves leaping and slashing with knives. Dodge to make it stumble, then capitalize on this moment to attack.
Clown
Threat Level: High
The Clown is a formidable foe, attacking with an adjustable laser beam and melee charges. It momentarily stuns after firing its laser, providing a brief window to either escape or strike.
Gnome
Threat Level: Low
Gnomes prioritize destroying your loot over attacking you. They're weak and can be easily dispatched by slamming them against a wall or floor.
Headman
Threat Level: Low
The Headman, a floating head, is generally non-aggressive unless provoked by light. Avoid shining lights on it to prevent any hostility.
Hidden
Threat Level: Medium
The Hidden, appearing as black smoke, can stun and disarm players, making them vulnerable to other threats. Its elusive nature makes it hard to kill, so hiding is often the safest strategy.
Huntsman
Threat Level: Medium
The blind Huntsman reacts to sound with deadly shotgun blasts. It patrols set routes, making it avoidable but highly dangerous if you're caught in its path.
Mentalist
Threat Level: Medium
The Mentalist uses an anti-gravity field to levitate and then slam objects down, potentially causing fatal damage. It can teleport, but it's vulnerable to melee attacks and can be rescued from its field by other players.
Reaper
Threat Level: Medium
The Reaper, while slow and deaf, is strong. Keep your distance and use ranged weapons for a safe elimination.
Robe
Threat Level: High
Robe is fast and aggressive, entering a frenzy when spotted. With high HP, it's best to avoid direct confrontation by not looking at it and hiding until it moves on.
Rugrat
Threat Level: Low
Rugrat, though seemingly harmless, will throw items at you if spotted. It requires a team effort to kill, so it's often better to steer clear.
Spewer
Threat Level: Medium
The Spewer chases and vomits on players, causing them to vomit and potentially damage nearby objects or players. Grab and shake it to make it flee.
Shadow Child
Threat Level: Low
Despite its eerie appearance, the Shadow Child has low HP and can be easily dispatched with a single hit from most attacks.
Trudge
Threat Level: High
Trudge's slow but deadly nature makes it a menace. It pulls players in for an often fatal mace strike. Hide and wait for it to leave, as killing it is resource-intensive.
Upscream
Threat Level: Medium
Upscreams, traveling in groups, can throw and stun players. Use a tranq gun to stun them, then slam them against a wall or floor for an effective takedown.
Mastering these strategies will enhance your survival rate in *R.E.P.O.*. For more in-depth guides and tips, don't forget to check out The Escapist.
