Contents:
Apex Predator (Duck)
What It Does: Follows players, harmless until picked up—then it transforms into a fast, flying attacker.
Tips: If you must get rid of it, lure it under an extraction piston for an easy $3,000.
Chef (Tumbler)
What It Does: Slow until spotting a player, then jumps and attacks wildly with cleavers.
Tips: If it misses the first attack, it ragdolls for a moment—use that time to escape or attack.
Banger
What It Does: Spawns in groups of three, slowly roams until spotting a player. Explodes when damaged or after a few seconds.
Tips: Pick them up and throw them at enemies. Listen for their fuse sounds to know when they’re about to detonate.
Peeper (Eye)
What It Does: Ceiling-mounted eye. Locks your crosshair and deals damage if you stare too long.
Tips: Break line of sight quickly. Move backward or duck behind cover.
Robe
What It Does: Moves erratically. If looked at, becomes aggressive and fast.
Tips: Avoid eye contact. If it starts chasing, take multiple turns and hide.
Clown
What It Does: Loud footsteps. Charges a laser beam that sweeps the area. If it can’t use the laser, it kicks instead.
Tips: Hide behind solid cover when it laughs. Crouching under the beam works, but only if timed correctly. Attack after it finishes the laser attack, as it will be briefly stunned.
Gnome
What It Does: Swarms in groups, attacks scrap instead of players.
Tips: Weak—pick them up and slam them into the ground. Can be thrown at enemies for extra damage.
Headman (Floating Head)
What It Does: Floats, sensitive to flashlights. Attacks if light is shined on it.
Tips: Avoid using a flashlight near it. If fighting, use melee weapons with reach, like a sledgehammer.
Huntsman
What It Does: Blind but heavily armed with a shotgun. Shoots at any sound.
Tips: Stay silent. If needed, throw objects to distract it before moving. Never engage directly.
Mentalist
What It Does: Floats around, lifts players into the air, then slams them down for massive damage.
Tips: Low health, easy to kill with melee. Always have someone nearby to pull you away if caught.
Animal
What It Does: Fast, erratic, but harmless. Slow attack, only deals 2 damage.
Tips: If you pick it up, it runs faster. If multiple players grab it, it freezes for a few seconds before spinning away.
Reaper
What It Does: Loud footsteps, poor eyesight but strong melee attacks. Detects gravity beams.
Tips: If seen, run around a corner and hide—its memory is terrible. Attacking it is risky, as it can knock items from your hands.
Shadow Child
What It Does Teleports randomly, causes screen darkening, then yoinks players backward, dealing 30 damage.
Tips: Annoying but not too dangerous. Avoid staring at it for too long.
Spewer
What It Does: Flies around. Sometimes chases players and latches on, causing them to vomit acidic liquid.
Tips: Shake it off by grabbing and releasing it. The vomit damages other enemies—use it strategically.
Hidden
What It Does: Nearly invisible, only noticeable by black smoke and footprints. Teleports players back to the truck if touched.
Tips: Hard to track or avoid. Stay aware of its presence and be cautious in open spaces.
Trudge
What It Does: Slow but deadly. Uses a shockwave pull before an instant-kill attack with its neck.
Tips: Stay out of sight. Landmines work well, but fighting it is generally a bad idea.
Upscream
What It Does: Moves along floors, walls, and ceilings. Screams when attacking, flinging players backward and stunning them.
Tips: Alone, they’re weak. In groups, they can stun-lock you. Use melee attacks to deal with them quickly.
Bowtie
What It DoeS: Slow-moving, screams when it spots a player. The scream prevents sprinting or jumping and can cause damage if you’re pushed into a wall.
Tips: Can’t move while screaming. Use a tranq gun or melee attacks to take them down easily.
Rugrat
What It Does: Steals valuable items and throws them at players.
Tips: Can be killed by smashing them against walls or floors, but they require multiple people to lift.
Final Tips
If it’s slow, it’s usually avoidable.
If it sees you, run. Doors and furniture can save your life.
Never trust the duck.
Now you know what lurks in R.E.P.O.—so try not to get yourself repossessed.
