In 2025, *R.E.P.O.* has taken the horror gaming world by storm, captivating streamers and players alike with its unique and terrifying monsters. Each creature in the game has its own distinct characteristics and methods of engagement, making survival a thrilling challenge. Below is a comprehensive guide to all the monsters you'll encounter in *R.E.P.O.* and the best strategies to handle them effectively.
All Monsters in R.E.P.O.
Animal
Threat Level: Low
The Animal is a swift but harmless creature that poses minimal threat. It won't fight back, making it an easy target to eliminate.
Apex Predator (Duck)
Threat Level: Low
The Apex Predator remains docile unless provoked. For those looking to gain some easy cash, lure it to the extraction zone and crush it under the piston for a quick kill.
Bang
Threat Level: Medium
Named aptly, the Bang is an explosive enemy that charges at you upon detection. To neutralize it safely, pick it up and hurl 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 and pushes them back. Although the scream itself is harmless, it can lead to secondary damage. Fortunately, Bowties are slow and vulnerable during their scream, making them easy to sneak up on and attack.
Chef
Threat Level: Medium
The Chef's attacks are predictable; it leaps and slashes with knives. Dodging its attack will cause it to stumble, giving you a window to strike back effectively.
Clown
Threat Level: High
One of the more formidable foes in R.E.P.O., the Clown uses a height-adjusting laser beam and melee charges. After firing its laser, it's momentarily stunned, providing a crucial opportunity to either attack or escape.
Gnome
Threat Level: Low
Gnomes move in groups and target your loot rather than you directly. They're weak and can be dispatched by slamming them against a wall or floor.
Headman
Threat Level: Low
The Headman, a floating head, becomes aggressive only when exposed to light. Otherwise, it's relatively benign.
Hidden
Threat Level: Medium
The Hidden, resembling a cloud of black smoke, can stun you and cause you to drop your items. Its elusive nature makes it hard to kill, so hiding is often the best strategy when it's nearby.
Huntsman
Threat Level: Medium
Blind but highly sensitive to sound, the Huntsman patrols a fixed route and can kill with its shotgun at close range. Avoiding it is advisable given its lethal potential.
Mentalist
Threat Level: Medium
The Mentalist, an alien-like entity, creates an anti-gravity field that can be deadly when it slams you down. It teleports, making it tricky to evade, but it's vulnerable to melee attacks and can be rescued by other players.
Reaper
Threat Level: Medium
Slow and deaf, the Reaper is easy to avoid but strong. Use ranged weapons for a safe kill, as it won't pursue you far.
Robe
Threat Level: High
Robe is fast and aggressive, especially when looked at directly, causing it to frenzy and increase its speed. With high HP, avoiding and hiding from Robe is the best strategy.
Rugrat
Threat Level: Low
Rugrat scavenges for items to throw at players but is generally harmless. It takes multiple people to effectively kill it by smashing it against a wall.
Spewer
Threat Level: Medium
The Spewer chases and vomits at players, causing them to vomit and potentially harm nearby entities. Grab and shake it to make it retreat.
Shadow Child
Threat Level: Low
Despite its eerie appearance, the Shadow Child has very low HP and can be one-shot with most attacks.
Trudge
Threat Level: High
Trudge is slow but deadly, pulling players in for a devastating mace strike. Hiding until it leaves is the safest approach, as it requires significant resources to defeat.
Upscream
Threat Level: Medium
Upscreams move in groups, capable of grabbing and throwing players. They're susceptible to most attacks, but a tranq gun followed by a slam is an effective strategy.
Mastering these strategies will enhance your gameplay in *R.E.P.O.* and help you navigate its chilling world with greater confidence. For more tips and insights, be sure to check out The Escapist for additional resources on the game.
