R.E.P.O.: Guide to Escaping and Killing All Monsters

*R.E.P.O.* has taken the horror gaming world by storm in 2025, captivating streamers and players alike with its diverse array of monsters. Each creature presents unique challenges and requires specific strategies to overcome. Below is a comprehensive guide to all the monsters 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 danger. It won't retaliate, making it easy to dispatch.

Apex Predator (Duck)

Threat Level: Low

The Apex Predator remains harmless unless provoked. For those seeking easy cash, lure it to the extraction zone and use the piston to crush it.

Bang

Threat Level: Medium

Named aptly, the Bang is an explosive enemy that charges and detonates upon spotting you. To neutralize it, pick it up and toss it into water, lava, or acid. You can also use it to damage other monsters strategically.

Bowtie

Threat Level: Low

When Bowties spot you, they emit a scream that immobilizes and pushes you back. Though slow and vulnerable during their scream, sneaking up on them when they're distracted is your best approach.

Chef

Threat Level: Medium

The Chef's predictable attack pattern involves jumping and slashing with knives. Dodge its attack to knock it off balance, giving you a window to strike.

Clown

Threat Level: High

The Clown is a formidable foe, attacking with a height-adjusting laser and a melee charge. After firing its laser, it stuns momentarily, offering a brief chance to attack or escape.

Gnome

Threat Level: Low

Gnomes move in packs and target your loot rather than you. They're weak and can be killed by slamming them against walls or the floor.

Headman

Threat Level: Low

The Headman, a floating head, is mostly harmless unless you shine a light on it, which provokes aggression.

Hidden

Threat Level: Medium

The Hidden appears as a black smoke cloud, capable of stunning you and causing item drops. Its invisibility makes it hard to kill, so hiding when it's near is advisable.

Huntsman

Threat Level: Medium

Blind but sound-sensitive, the Huntsman fires a deadly shotgun when it hears noise. It patrols a fixed route, making it easier to avoid than confront.

Mentalist

Threat Level: Medium

The Mentalist, resembling an alien, uses an anti-gravity field to levitate and slam objects, including players. It teleports, making it hard to escape, but it's vulnerable to melee attacks.

Reaper

Threat Level: Medium

Slow and deaf, the Reaper is easy to avoid but strong. Use ranged weapons for a safe kill.

Robe

Threat Level: High

Robe is fast and aggressive, entering a frenzy when looked at directly. Its high HP makes combat risky; instead, avoid eye contact and hide until it leaves.

Rugrat

Threat Level: Low

Rugrat scavenges and throws items at you but flees if empty-handed. It requires multiple people to kill by slamming against a wall.

Spewer

Threat Level: Medium

The Spewer chases and vomits on players, causing damage. Grab and shake it to make it retreat.

Shadow Child

Threat Level: Low

Despite its eerie appearance, the Shadow Child is harmless with very low HP, making it easy to kill with one hit.

Trudge

Threat Level: High

Trudge is slow but deadly, pulling you in for a mace attack that's often fatal. Hiding is the best strategy, as killing it is resource-intensive.

Upscream

Threat Level: Medium

Upscreams travel in groups, grabbing and throwing you. They're susceptible to most attacks, but the tranq gun stuns them, allowing you to slam them into walls or the floor.
