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

The Peeper, a ceiling-dwelling adversary, is notoriously difficult to detect. It spawns in random locations across the map and remains camouflaged with its closed eyelid until you venture too close. Once it senses your presence, the Peeper opens its eye, locking your gaze and preventing you from looking away. This eerie connection inflicts two points of damage to your health every second it holds your attention. Although the Peeper falls into the lowest tier of danger, its disorienting effect can be particularly troublesome, especially when it zooms your point of view onto the eyeball, making it challenging to navigate or escape from other threats.

To counter the Peeper, constant vigilance is key. Always be prepared for its sudden appearance anywhere on the map. The best strategy is to quickly move out of its line of sight. Maneuver around a corner or through a doorway; if possible, shut the door to break the Peeper's gaze. This task can be challenging but is made easier with a teammate's assistance in slamming the door shut for you. Staying mobile and keeping your cool are essential to avoid panicking under its hypnotic stare.

As with many challenges in *R.E.P.O.*, having a teammate by your side can significantly simplify the task.
