R.E.P.O. Beamer Monster Guide (Clown)
Image Credit: semiwork, R.E.P.O.
The Beamer (aka the Clown) is loud, deadly, and very committed to vaporizing anything that moves. It's basically a giant walking laser pointer with legs, and if it sees you, things go downhill fast. When it laughs, it’s not because it’s happy—it’s because you’re about to explode.

What Makes the Beamer So Awful
Instant-Kill Laser
Sweeps across the room horizontally
Tracks your height, so jumping won’t always save you
After firing, it goes into cooldown for about 8 seconds
During cooldown, it just… stands there, stunned and vulnerable
If the Laser’s Cooling Down...
It’ll charge and kick you
The kick does 50 damage and yeets you into the next dimension
If you’re hiding and it suspects you’re close, it will still kick—yes, even behind walls
It Destroys Scrap
Standing near loot? Now there’s no loot.
Beamer doesn’t care about your grind
How to Avoid Getting Vaporized
Crouch under the beam—but you need perfect timing or you’re toast
Hide behind indestructible cover—best move if you’ve got it nearby
Stay up high—the Beamer can’t climb or jump, so it’s helpless against ledge campers
Run when it laughs—that’s your heads-up before the beam fires
How to Fight It (If You Hate Yourself)
Bait the laser, then attack during the cooldown window
Stay above it—its pathing gets weird and it won’t be able to hit you
Use explosives or heavy weapons when it’s stunned
Don’t rush it unless you’re 100% sure it’s recharging
Final Blurb
The Beamer is terrifying, unfair, and very good at ruining your day. Your best bet? Trick it into firing, then hit it while it’s stunned. If that fails, run, crouch, climb—just don’t stand there and admire the view. The light show always ends the same way.
