*R.E.P.O.* has taken the horror gaming scene by storm in 2025, captivating streamers and players alike with its array of terrifying monsters. Each creature presents unique challenges and requires specific strategies to handle effectively. Below is a comprehensive guide to all the monsters in *R.E.P.O.* and the best ways to deal with them.

All Monsters in R.E.P.O.

Animal

Threat Level: Low

The Animal is a swift but harmless creature that poses little threat. It's easy to dispatch since it doesn't retaliate.

Apex Predator (Duck)

Threat Level: Low

The Apex Predator remains docile unless provoked. For an easy kill and some cash, lure it to the extraction zone and crush it with the piston.

Bang

Threat Level: Medium

The Bang is an explosive enemy that charges at you upon detection. To neutralize it, pick it up and throw it into water, lava, or acid. It can also be used to damage other monsters.

Bowtie

Threat Level: Low

Bowties emit a scream that immobilizes players and pushes them back, though it doesn't cause direct harm. They're slow and vulnerable while screaming, making them easy targets for stealth attacks.

Chef

Threat Level: Medium

The Chef's attacks are predictable. It jumps and slashes with knives, but dodging its attack leaves it vulnerable for a counterstrike.

Clown

Threat Level: High

The Clown is a formidable foe with a laser beam attack and a melee charge. After firing its laser, it becomes momentarily stunned, providing a window for attack or escape.

Gnome

Threat Level: Low

Gnomes prioritize destroying your loot over attacking you. They're weak and can be killed by slamming them against a surface.

Headman

Threat Level: Low

The Headman, a floating head, is harmless unless you shine a light at it. It's best to avoid provoking it.

Hidden

Threat Level: Medium

The Hidden, resembling black smoke, can stun you and cause you to drop items. It's hard to spot and best to hide from rather than confront.

Huntsman

Threat Level: Medium

The blind Huntsman reacts to sound and uses a shotgun. It follows a set patrol route, making it easier to avoid than to fight.

Mentalist

Threat Level: Medium

The Mentalist, an alien-like entity, uses an anti-gravity field to levitate and slam objects. It's vulnerable to melee attacks and can be rescued from its field by other players.

Reaper

Threat Level: Medium

The slow and deaf Reaper is easy to avoid but strong. Use guns and ranged weapons to kill it safely from a distance.

Robe

Threat Level: High

The fast and aggressive Robe becomes frenzied when looked at directly, increasing its speed and damage. Avoid eye contact and hide to evade it.

Rugrat

Threat Level: Low

Rugrat scavenges for items and throws them at players. It's weak but requires multiple people to kill by slamming it against a wall.

Spewer

Threat Level: Medium

The Spewer chases and vomits at players, causing damage. Grab and shake it to make it flee.

Shadow Child

Threat Level: Low

The eerie Shadow Child has low HP and can be easily one-shot with most attacks.

Trudge

Threat Level: High

The slow but deadly Trudge pulls players in and uses a mace for instant kills. Hiding is the best strategy as it's resource-intensive to kill.

Upscream

Threat Level: Medium

Upscreams travel in groups and can throw players back. Use a tranq gun to stun them, then slam them into a surface to kill them.
