*R.E.P.O.* has taken the horror gaming scene by storm in 2025, captivating streamers and players alike with its unique array of monsters. Each creature in the game presents its own set of challenges and strategies for survival. Below is a comprehensive guide to all the monsters you'll encounter in *R.E.P.O.* and the best ways to handle them.
All Monsters in R.E.P.O.
Animal
Threat Level: Low
The Animal is swift but poses minimal threat, dealing very little damage. 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 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 rushes towards you to detonate upon spotting or being attacked. You can neutralize it by picking it up and throwing it into water, lava, or acid. Cleverly, Bangs can also be used to damage other monsters.
Bowtie
Threat Level: Low
Bowties emit a scream that immobilizes players, preventing movement and pushing them back. Although the scream itself is harmless, it can lead to damage from environmental hazards. These creatures are slow and vulnerable during their scream, making them easy targets for a stealthy approach.
Chef
Threat Level: Medium
The Chef's attacks are predictable; it jumps and slashes with knives. Dodging its attack leaves it off-balance, providing a window for counterattacks.
Clown
Threat Level: High
The Clown is a formidable foe, attacking with a height-adjusting laser beam and a charging melee attack. Its vulnerability comes post-laser attack when it's momentarily stunned, offering a chance to strike or escape.
Gnome
Threat Level: Low
Gnomes move in groups, focusing on destroying your loot rather than attacking you 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 generally non-aggressive unless provoked by light. It's best to avoid shining lights on it to keep it at bay.
Hidden
Threat Level: Medium
The Hidden, appearing as a cloud of black smoke, can stun you and cause you to drop your items. It's challenging to spot and kill, so hiding when it's near is advisable.
Huntsman
Threat Level: Medium
The blind Huntsman reacts to sound, firing a deadly shotgun. It follows a set patrol route, making it easier to avoid than to confront.
Mentalist
Threat Level: Medium
The Mentalist, an alien-like entity, uses an anti-gravity field to levitate and slam objects, including players. It can teleport, but it's vulnerable to melee attacks and can be rescued from its field by other players.
Reaper
Threat Level: Medium
The Reaper, though strong, is slow and deaf, making it easy to avoid. Ranged weapons are the best way to take it down if necessary.
Robe
Threat Level: High
Robe is fast and aggressive, entering a frenzy when looked at directly. It's best to avoid eye contact and hide until it moves on, as it has high HP and is difficult to fight.
Rugrat
Threat Level: Low
Rugrat scavenges for items and throws them at players, but it's generally harmless. It requires multiple people to lift and smash it against a wall to kill it, so it's often better to just steer clear.
Spewer
Threat Level: Medium
The Spewer chases players and vomits, which can cause damage to nearby players or items. Grabbing and shaking it will 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 slow but deadly, pulling players towards it for a devastating mace attack. Hiding is the best strategy, as killing it is resource-intensive.
Upscream
Threat Level: Medium
Upscreams travel in groups, capable of grabbing and throwing players. They're susceptible to most attacks, but a tranq gun can stun them, allowing for a slam against a wall or floor.
