*R.E.P.O.* has taken the streaming world by storm in 2025, captivating audiences with its thrilling horror elements and a roster of unique monsters, each requiring specific strategies to handle. Here’s a comprehensive guide to all the monsters you’ll encounter in *R.E.P.O.*, along with the best methods to manage them.
All Monsters in R.E.P.O.
Animal
Threat Level: Low
The Animal is swift but poses minimal danger, dealing very little damage. It’s an easy target as it won’t fight back, making it a straightforward kill.
Apex Predator (Duck)
Threat Level: Low
The Apex Predator remains harmless unless provoked. For those looking to earn some quick cash, you can kill it by luring it to the extraction zone and crushing it with the piston.
Bang
Threat Level: Medium
True to its name, the Bang is an explosive enemy that acts like a grenade. It will rush towards you to explode if attacked or if it spots you. The safest way to handle it is by throwing it into water, lava, or acid. Additionally, you can use Bangs to damage other monsters strategically.
Bowtie
Threat Level: Low
Bowties emit a scream that immobilizes players, preventing them from running or jumping and pushing them backwards. Fortunately, Bowties are slow and stationary when screaming, making them vulnerable to all types of attacks. The best approach is to sneak up on them when they're distracted.
Chef
Threat Level: Medium
The Chef’s attacks are predictable; it jumps and slashes with knives. Dodging its attack causes it to lose balance, providing a window for you to strike back.
Clown
Threat Level: High
One of the most perilous enemies in R.E.P.O., the Clown uses a height-adjusting laser beam and can charge with a melee attack. It becomes stunned after firing its laser, giving you a brief opportunity to either attack or escape.
Gnome
Threat Level: Low
Gnomes move in groups and prioritize destroying your loot over attacking you. They are weak and can be easily killed by picking them up and slamming them into a surface.
Headman
Threat Level: Low
The Headman, a floating head, is harmless unless provoked by light. It will leave you alone if you don't shine a light on it.
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 hard to spot and kill, so it’s best to hide when you sense its presence nearby.
Huntsman
Threat Level: Medium
Blind but highly sensitive to sound, the Huntsman fires a shotgun that can be fatal at close range. It patrols a fixed route, making it easier to avoid than to confront.
Mentalist
Threat Level: Medium
The Mentalist, an alien-like entity, creates an anti-gravity field that causes nearby objects to levitate and then slam down. It can teleport, making it hard to escape. However, it’s vulnerable to melee attacks, and other players can help you escape its field.
Reaper
Threat Level: Medium
The Reaper is slow and deaf, making it easy to avoid. It’s strong but can be killed effectively with guns and ranged weapons.
Robe
Threat Level: High
Fast and aggressive, Robe becomes frenzied when looked at directly, increasing its speed and damage. It’s best to avoid eye contact and hide until it moves on due to its high HP.
Rugrat
Threat Level: Low
Though generally harmless, Rugrat scavenges for items and throws them at players. It requires multiple people to lift and smash it against a wall to kill it, so it’s better to steer clear.
Spewer
Threat Level: Medium
The Spewer, resembling a tadpole, chases players and vomits on them, causing damage and potentially affecting nearby players or items. Grabbing and shaking it will make it flee.
Shadow Child
Threat Level: Low
Despite its eerie appearance, the Shadow Child is easily defeated with one hit due to its low HP.
Trudge
Threat Level: High
Trudge is deadly but slow, pulling players towards it for a devastating mace strike, often resulting in an instant kill. It's best to hide and wait for it to leave rather than engage.
Upscream
Threat Level: Medium
Upscreams move in groups and can throw you back, dealing damage and causing stun. They are susceptible to most attacks, but a tranq gun can stun them, allowing you to grab and slam them against a surface.
By mastering these strategies, you’ll be well-equipped to navigate the terrifying world of *R.E.P.O.*. For more tips and information on the game, be sure to visit The Escapist.
