How to Beat the Eye Monster (Peeper) in R.E.P.O.
The Peeper is a stealthy foe that lurks on ceilings, making it difficult to detect. This giant eyeball remains closed until you venture too close, at which point it opens and locks eyes with you. Once caught in its gaze, you'll find yourself unable to look away, suffering two points of damage to your HP every second the connection persists. While the Peeper ranks low in terms of threat level, its ability to disorient you can be particularly dangerous, especially if other enemies are nearby.
When trapped by the Peeper's gaze, your point of view zooms in on the eyeball, severely limiting your ability to navigate your surroundings or escape from other threats. To counter this, always be mindful of potential Peeper spawn points across the map. Plan your movements to ensure you have a clear path to retreat or maneuver. The most effective strategy is to break the line of sight by moving around a corner or through a door. If possible, closing the door can sever the Peeper's gaze, and having a teammate assist in this can make it even easier. The key is to stay calm and keep moving.

It may take several shots to bring down this eye monster, and using the gun while under its influence can be challenging. However, with composure and perhaps the assistance of a teammate, it's entirely feasible.
