*R.E.P.O.* has captured the attention of the streaming community in 2025 with its thrilling horror elements and unique monsters. Each monster in the game presents its own set of challenges and requires specific strategies to overcome. Below, you'll find a comprehensive guide on all the monsters in *R.E.P.O.* and the best ways to handle them.
All Monsters in R.E.P.O.
Animal
Threat Level: Low
The Animal is known for its speed but poses minimal danger due to its lack of combativeness. It's a straightforward target, easily dispatched as it does not retaliate.
Apex Predator (Duck)
Threat Level: Low
The Apex Predator remains harmless unless provoked. For those looking to earn some quick cash, you can lead it to the extraction zone and use the piston to crush it.
Bang
Threat Level: Medium
The Bang, true to its name, is an explosive threat that rushes towards you upon detection. To neutralize it, pick it up and toss it into water, lava, or acid. Strategically, you can also use Bangs to damage other monsters.
Bowtie
Threat Level: Low
Bowties emit a scream that immobilizes players, preventing movement and pushing them back. Fortunately, they are slow and vulnerable during their scream. Sneak up on them when they're not alert for an easy takedown.
Chef
Threat Level: Medium
The Chef's attacks are predictable; it jumps and slashes with knives. Dodge its attack to make it stumble, providing a window for your counterattack.
Clown
Threat Level: High
The Clown is a formidable foe with a laser beam attack and a melee charge. Its weakness is the brief stun period after firing the laser, which you can exploit to either attack or escape.
Gnome
Threat Level: Low
Gnomes move in groups and target your loot rather than you. They're fragile and can be killed by slamming them against a wall or floor.
Headman
Threat Level: Low
The Headman, a floating head, is harmless unless provoked by light. Avoid shining lights on it to keep it at bay.
Hidden
Threat Level: Medium
The Hidden, appearing as a cloud of black smoke, can stun you and cause you to drop your items. It's challenging to spot and kill, so hiding is often the best strategy when it's near.
Huntsman
Threat Level: Medium
The blind Huntsman reacts to sound with a deadly shotgun blast. It follows a set patrol route, making it easier to avoid than to confront.
Mentalist
Threat Level: Medium
The Mentalist, an alien-like entity, uses an anti-gravity field to levitate and slam objects. It's vulnerable to melee attacks and can be rescued from its field by other players.
Reaper
Threat Level: Medium
The Reaper is slow and deaf, making it easy to avoid. Use ranged weapons to take it down safely from a distance.
Robe
Threat Level: High
Robe is fast and aggressive, entering a frenzy when looked at directly. Its high HP makes it a poor choice for combat; instead, avoid eye contact and hide until it leaves.
Rugrat
Threat Level: Low
Rugrat scavenges for items and throws them at players. It's generally harmless but requires multiple people to lift and smash against a wall to kill.
Spewer
Threat Level: Medium
The Spewer chases players and vomits, causing damage. Grab and shake it to make it retreat, and use its vomit to damage other enemies.
Shadow Child
Threat Level: Low
Despite its eerie appearance, the Shadow Child is easily defeated with a single hit due to its low HP.
Trudge
Threat Level: High
Trudge is slow but deadly, pulling players in for a devastating mace attack. Hiding is the best strategy, as killing it is resource-intensive.
Upscream
Threat Level: Medium
Upscreams travel in groups and can throw players, causing damage and stun. Use a tranq gun to stun them, then slam them into a wall or floor for an effective kill.
