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

The Peeper is a tricky adversary, lurking on ceilings and nearly invisible until it's too late. This giant eyeball remains closed until you enter its detection range, at which point it springs to life, locking your gaze and dealing damage. Though categorized in the lowest tier of danger, the Peeper's ability to disorient you by zooming your view on its eye can be a significant hindrance, especially if other threats are nearby.

When ensnared by the Peeper's gaze, your field of view narrows, complicating movement and escape. To counter this, always maintain awareness of potential escape routes. If a Peeper appears, swiftly move to a corner or through a doorway. If feasible, close the door to break the Peeper's line of sight. Teamwork can be invaluable here; having a teammate shut the door for you can expedite your escape. The key is to stay calm and keep moving.
