Animal
Threat Level: Low
The swift but weak Animal offers little resistance. Easy prey for any attack.
Apex Predator (Duck)
Threat Level: Low
Unless provoked, this duck poses no threat. For an easy payday, lure it to the extraction zone and crush it with the piston.
Bang
Threat Level: Medium
This explosive enemy rushes and detonates upon detection or attack. Safely dispose of it by throwing it into water, lava, or acid. Can also be used as a weapon against other monsters.
Bowtie
Threat Level: Low
A Bowtie's scream immobilizes and repels players. While harmless in itself, the recoil can be dangerous. Its slow speed and immobility during its scream make it vulnerable to stealth attacks.
Chef
Threat Level: Medium
The Chef's predictable attacks – a knife slash after spotting you – leave it unbalanced for a brief counterattack window.
Clown
Threat Level: High
The Clown wields a height-adjusting laser and a melee charge. However, it's stunned momentarily after laser fire, creating an escape or attack opportunity.
Gnome
Threat Level: Low
These weak, loot-obsessed Gnomes travel in packs. Easily dispatched by grabbing and slamming them against a surface.
Headman
Threat Level: Low
This floating head is only aggressive when illuminated. Otherwise, it's largely harmless.
Hidden
Threat Level: Medium
The Hidden, a black smoke cloud, stuns and dispossesses players, often pulling them towards other enemies. Its elusive nature makes avoidance preferable to confrontation.
Huntsman
Threat Level: Medium
Blind but sound-reactive, the Huntsman's shotgun blast is deadly at close range. Its predictable patrol route allows for easy avoidance. Direct confrontation is discouraged.
Mentalist
Threat Level: Medium
This teleporting alien activates an anti-gravity field, then slams levitated objects to the ground. Vulnerable to melee attacks, and other players can rescue you from its field.
Reaper
Threat Level: Medium
Slow, deaf, and easily avoided, the Reaper is best dealt with from a distance using ranged weapons.
Robe
Threat Level: High
Fast, aggressive, and damage-dealing, Robe enters a frenzy if directly looked at. Avoidance and hiding are the best strategies due to its high HP.
Rugrat
Threat Level: Low
While seemingly harmless, Rugrat throws scavenged items if spotted. Requires multiple players to subdue and eliminate.
Spewer
Threat Level: Medium
This tadpole-like creature chases and vomits, potentially harming players or items. Grabbing and shaking it will cause it to flee. Its vomit can also damage enemies.
Shadow Child
Threat Level: Low
Despite its creepy appearance, the Shadow Child has extremely low HP, making it easy to one-shot.
Trudge
Threat Level: High
Deadly but slow, Trudge pulls players in before a potentially fatal mace blow. Its ability to pull you from cover makes avoidance crucial.
Upscream
Threat Level: Medium
These creatures travel in groups, grabbing and throwing players. Vulnerable to most attacks, but the tranq gun is particularly effective for stunning and eliminating them.
Master these strategies and you'll be well-equipped to survive the nightmarish world of R.E.P.O. For more helpful tips and game information, check out The Escapist.
