Image Credit: semiwork, R.E.P.O.
The blind guy in R.E.P.O. is called the Huntsman. That should help, right? Well, no. Because instead of eyes, he’s got a double-barrel shotgun and ears that could hear a fly sneeze from two rooms away. This guy isn’t messing around. One noise, and boom—you’re a pancake on the floor.
Let’s break down how to not die.

How to Not Get Blasted in the Face
Stay quiet, genius.
If you don’t make noise, he won’t shoot. He’s not psychic—just super good at listening. No footsteps, no jumping, no screaming. Pretend you’re playing hide-and-seek, but the seeker has a shotgun and hates you.
Throw stuff to mess with him.
You can toss objects to distract him. He’ll hear it, turn, and shoot that way instead of your soft, fleshy body.
Listen for the grunt.
Right before he fires, he grunts. That’s your 0.5-second warning to dodge like your life depends on it—because it does.
Bait, then run.
Once he fires, his shotgun needs a nap (about 2 seconds). That’s your golden moment to sprint past him and not get shot in the spine.
Use stairs to your advantage.
He’s clumsy. Make him fall down stairs, and he’ll get stunned. He also eats fall damage like a champ, so it’s a win-win.
How to Kill Him (If You’re Feeling Brave)
No melee. Ever.
You swing, he shoots, you die. He reacts faster than your brain.
Use explosives or tranq.
Grenades, land mines, tranq darts—they all work. From a safe distance. Keyword: safe.
Let gravity help.
If he falls down stairs, he takes damage. It’s basically free damage. Push your luck (and him).
Make him your pet weapon.
Other enemies? Yeah, he’ll shoot them too. Lead him near a group and let him clean house while you chill.
Final Blurb
The Huntsman is slow, clunky, and blind—but also terrifying with a shotgun. He’s basically a loud Roomba with anger issues. Don’t fight him unless you have to. But if you do manage to drop him, you’ll pocket somewhere between 2.5k and 7.5k. Not bad for nearly getting your head removed.
