How to Beat the Eye Monster (Peeper) in R.E.P.O.

The Peeper is a stealthy adversary, lurking on ceilings and blending seamlessly into its environment. This giant eyeball remains closed until you venture too close, spawning unpredictably across the map. Once it senses your presence, the Peeper opens, locking your gaze and dealing two points of damage to your HP every second you're caught in its stare. Although the damage may not seem lethal, the Peeper's ability to disorient you can leave you vulnerable to other threats.

When ensnared by the Peeper's gaze, your field of view zooms in on the monster, making it challenging to navigate or escape from other dangers. To counter this, always be vigilant of your surroundings, as the Peeper can appear anywhere. Keep an escape route in mind, such as a corner to walk around or a door to pass through. If you can shut the door, do so swiftly; if you have a teammate nearby, have them close it for you to break the Peeper's line of sight. The key is to stay calm and keep moving.
