*R.E.P.O.* has taken the horror gaming scene by storm in 2025, captivating streamers and players alike with its unique roster of monsters. Each creature in *R.E.P.O.* presents its own set of challenges and requires specific strategies to handle effectively. Below is a comprehensive guide to all the monsters you'll encounter in *R.E.P.O.* and how to deal with them.
All Monsters in R.E.P.O.
Animal
Threat Level: Low
The Animal is swift but poses minimal danger due to its low damage output. It's an easy target as it doesn't retaliate, making it simple to eliminate.
Apex Predator (Duck)
Threat Level: Low
The Apex Predator remains harmless unless provoked. For those looking to earn some easy cash, lure it to the extraction zone and crush it under the piston for a quick kill.
Bang
Threat Level: Medium
True to its name, the Bang is an explosive enemy that rushes and detonates upon spotting you. To neutralize it safely, pick it up and toss it into water, lava, or acid. It can also be strategically used to damage other monsters.
Bowtie
Threat Level: Low
When a Bowtie spots you, it emits a scream that immobilizes you, preventing movement and pushing you back. Although the scream itself is harmless, it can cause you to collide with damaging objects. Bowties are slow and vulnerable when screaming, making them easy to take down with a sneak attack.
Chef
Threat Level: Medium
The Chef's attacks are predictable. It leaps and slashes with knives upon spotting you. Dodge its attack to make it stumble, providing an opportunity for a counterstrike.
Clown
Threat Level: High
The Clown is a formidable foe in R.E.P.O., capable of attacking with a height-adjusting laser beam and a melee charge. Its vulnerability comes post-laser attack when it's momentarily stunned, offering a window for escape or attack.
Gnome
Threat Level: Low
Gnomes move in groups and focus on destroying your loot rather than harming you directly. They're weak and can be easily killed by picking them up and slamming them against a wall or the floor.
Headman
Threat Level: Low
The Headman, a floating head, isn't aggressive unless you shine a light on it. Avoid provoking it, and it will leave you be.
Hidden
Threat Level: Medium
The Hidden appears as a cloud of black smoke and can stun you, causing you to drop your items. It's challenging to kill due to its elusive nature, so hiding from it is often the best strategy.
Huntsman
Threat Level: Medium
The Huntsman, despite being blind, is highly responsive to sound and wields a deadly shotgun. It patrols a set route, making it easy to avoid but dangerous to confront due to its instant-kill potential at close range.
Mentalist
Threat Level: Medium
The Mentalist, resembling an alien, uses an anti-gravity field to levitate and slam objects, including players, to the ground. It can teleport, making it hard to escape. However, it's vulnerable to melee attacks and can be rescued by other players if caught in its field.
Reaper
Threat Level: Medium
The Reaper, though powerful, is slow and deaf, making it easy to avoid but challenging to kill up close. Utilize guns and ranged weapons for a safer approach.
Robe
Threat Level: High
Robe is a fast and aggressive monster that intensifies its chase when directly looked at. With high HP, engaging it in combat is risky. Instead, avoid eye contact and hide until it loses interest.
Rugrat
Threat Level: Low
Rugrat appears harmless but can throw valuable items at you if spotted. It requires multiple people to lift and smash it against a wall for a kill, so it's best to steer clear.
Spewer
Threat Level: Medium
The Spewer, resembling a tadpole, chases players and vomits to cause damage. Grab and shake it to make it flee. Its vomit can also damage other enemies, which can be advantageous.
Shadow Child
Threat Level: Low
Despite its eerie appearance, the Shadow Child is not threatening due to its low HP. It can be easily dispatched with a single hit from most weapons.
Trudge
Threat Level: High
Trudge, like the Reaper, is deadly yet slow. It pulls you in before striking with a mace, often resulting in an instant kill. Hiding is the safest strategy, as killing it is resource-intensive.
Upscream
Threat Level: Medium
Upscreams travel in groups and can throw you back to deal damage and stun you. They're susceptible to most attacks, but a tranq gun can stun them, allowing you to grab and slam them for an effective takedown.
