*R.E.P.O.* has taken the horror gaming scene by storm in 2025, captivating streamers and players alike with its diverse array of monsters, each requiring unique strategies to overcome. 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 negligible 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, lure it to the extraction zone and crush it under the piston.

Bang

Threat Level: Medium

True to its name, the Bang is an explosive enemy that rushes towards you upon detection or attack, detonating on impact. Safely dispose of it by throwing it into water, lava, or acid. Cleverly, you can also use Bangs to damage other monsters.

Bowtie

Threat Level: Low

Bowties emit a scream that immobilizes players, preventing movement and pushing them back. Though the scream itself is harmless, it can lead to secondary damage. These slow-moving creatures are vulnerable when not screaming, making stealth attacks your best approach.

Chef

Threat Level: Medium

The Chef's predictable attack pattern involves jumping and slashing with knives. Dodge its attack to exploit its momentary imbalance and strike back.

Clown

Threat Level: High

The Clown is a formidable foe, attacking with a height-adjusting laser beam and a melee charge. Its vulnerability comes post-laser attack when it's stunned, offering a brief window for counterattacks or escape.

Gnome

Threat Level: Low

Gnomes, often found in groups, prioritize destroying your loot over attacking you. 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 engaging it unless necessary.

Hidden

Threat Level: Medium

The Hidden, appearing as a cloud of black smoke, can stun you and cause you to drop your items, potentially dragging you towards other enemies. Its elusive nature makes it hard to kill, so hiding is often the safest strategy.

Huntsman

Threat Level: Medium

The blind Huntsman reacts to sound, firing its shotgun indiscriminately. Its predictable patrol route makes it easy to avoid, but engaging it is risky due to its lethal close-range shots.

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, making it hard to escape. However, it's vulnerable to melee attacks and can be rescued by other players if caught in its field.

Reaper

Threat Level: Medium

The Reaper, though strong, is slow and deaf, making it easy to avoid. Use ranged weapons to safely take it down from a distance.

Robe

Threat Level: High

Robe is a fast and aggressive monster that enters a frenzy when looked at directly, increasing its speed and damage. Avoid direct eye contact and hide until it moves on, as it has high HP and is tough to fight.

Rugrat

Threat Level: Low

Rugrat, while seemingly harmless, can throw valuable items at you if spotted. It's best to steer clear, as it requires multiple people to lift and smash it against a wall to kill.

Spewer

Threat Level: Medium

The Spewer, resembling a tadpole, chases players and vomits, causing damage to nearby entities. Grab and shake it to make it retreat.

Shadow Child

Threat Level: Low

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

Trudge

Threat Level: High

Trudge, like the Reaper, is deadly but slow. It pulls players towards it for a devastating mace attack. Hiding is the best strategy, as killing it is resource-intensive.

Upscream

Threat Level: Medium

Upscreams move in groups, capable of grabbing and throwing players to cause damage and stun. Use a tranq gun to stun them, then slam them into a wall or floor for an effective takedown.
