How to Beat the Eye Monster (Peeper) in R.E.P.O.
The Peeper is a tricky ceiling-dwelling creature that can be hard to spot. It lurks in random spots across the map, appearing as a giant closed eyeball until you venture too close. Once you're in its range, the Peeper opens its eye, locking your gaze and dealing 2 HP of damage per second. While the damage might not be severe—classifying it as a lower-tier threat—the disorientation it causes can be quite perilous, especially when trying to navigate or escape from other enemies.

To counter this, always be mindful of your surroundings and have a clear escape route in mind. The best strategy is to break line of sight by moving around a corner or through a doorway. If you can manage to close the door, even better. Teaming up with another player can make this easier, as they can shut the door for you, breaking the Peeper's gaze. Remember, the key is to keep moving and stay calm.

It might take several shots to down this eye monster, and using the gun while under its hypnotic gaze can be challenging. However, with steady nerves, it's achievable. As with many challenges in *R.E.P.O.*, having a teammate can significantly ease the task.
