Below is a comprehensive guide on all the monsters you'll encounter in *R.E.P.O.* and how to effectively deal with them.

All Monsters in R.E.P.O.

Animal

Threat Level: Low

The Animal is a swift but harmless creature that poses minimal threat. It flees rather than fights, making it an easy target to eliminate if needed.

Apex Predator (Duck)

Threat Level: Low

The Apex Predator remains docile unless provoked. For those looking to earn some quick cash, luring it to the extraction zone and using the piston to crush it is the most efficient method.

Bang

Threat Level: Medium

The Bang is a volatile, grenade-like monster that charges at you upon detection. To neutralize it safely, pick it up and throw 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, pushing them back and potentially into harmful objects. They're slow and vulnerable when screaming, making it ideal to sneak up and attack them from behind.

Chef

Threat Level: Medium

The Chef's attacks are predictable; it jumps and slashes with knives. Dodge its attack to make it stumble, providing a window for counterattacks.

Clown

Threat Level: High

A formidable foe, the Clown uses a height-adjustable laser beam and a charging melee attack. It's temporarily stunned after firing its laser, offering a brief chance to strike or flee.

Gnome

Threat Level: Low

Gnomes focus on destroying loot rather than attacking players directly. They're weak and can be easily dispatched by slamming them against a wall or floor.

Headman

Threat Level: Low

The Headman, a floating head, is harmless unless provoked by light. Avoid shining lights on it to prevent aggression.

Hidden

Threat Level: Medium

The Hidden, appearing as a cloud of black smoke, can stun you and cause you to drop items. Its invisibility makes it hard to kill, so hiding is the best strategy when it's nearby.

Huntsman

Threat Level: Medium

Blind but highly sensitive to sound, the Huntsman uses a shotgun that can be deadly at close range. It's best to avoid it by staying silent and out of its patrol route.

Mentalist

Threat Level: Medium

The Mentalist, resembling an alien, creates an anti-gravity field that can be lethal. It's vulnerable to melee attacks and can be rescued from its field by other players.

Reaper

Threat Level: Medium

Slow and deaf, the Reaper is easily avoidable but strong. Use ranged weapons to take it down safely from a distance.

Robe

Threat Level: High

Robe is fast and aggressive, especially when looked at directly, which triggers a frenzy. Avoid eye contact and hide to evade its relentless chase.

Rugrat

Threat Level: Low

Rugrat is generally harmless but can throw items at you if spotted. It's difficult to kill alone, requiring teamwork to lift and smash it against a surface.

Spewer

Threat Level: Medium

The Spewer chases players and vomits, which can harm both players and enemies. Grab and shake it to make it retreat.

Shadow Child

Threat Level: Low

Despite its eerie appearance, the Shadow Child is easily defeated with a single hit due to its low HP.

Trudge

Threat Level: High

Trudge is deadly but slow, using a mace to pull and instantly kill players. Hiding and waiting for it to leave is the safest approach.

Upscream

Threat Level: Medium

Upscreams move in groups and can throw players, causing damage and stun. Use a tranq gun to stun them before slamming them into a wall or floor.
