Animal

Threat Level: Low

The swift Animal inflicts minimal damage and offers little resistance, making it an easy target.

Apex Predator (Duck)

Threat Level: Low

Unless provoked, the Apex Predator poses no threat. For an easy reward, lure it to the extraction zone and eliminate 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. Bangs can also be used to damage other monsters.

Bowtie

Threat Level: Low

Bowties immobilize players with a deafening scream, hindering movement and potentially causing indirect damage. Their slow speed and immobility during their scream make them vulnerable to stealth attacks.

Chef

Threat Level: Medium

The Chef's predictable attack pattern—a slashing jump—leaves it momentarily unbalanced after a dodge, creating an opening for counterattack.

Clown

Threat Level: High

The Clown wields a height-adjusting laser and a melee charge. However, a brief stun after laser fire provides a window for escape or attack.

Gnome

Threat Level: Low

Gnomes prioritize loot destruction over player harm. Their weakness allows for easy disposal by picking them up and slamming them against a surface.

Headman

Threat Level: Low

This floating head is largely harmless unless provoked by light.

Hidden

Threat Level: Medium

The Hidden, a black smoke entity, stuns players, causing item drops and potentially leading them into danger. Its elusive nature makes avoidance preferable to combat.

Huntsman

Threat Level: Medium

This blind enemy reacts violently to sound, firing a potentially lethal shotgun blast. Its predictable patrol route allows for easy avoidance. Direct confrontation is discouraged.

Mentalist

Threat Level: Medium

The Mentalist, an alien-like entity, uses anti-gravity to levitate and slam objects, including players. Its teleportation adds to its challenge, but melee weapons prove effective. Teammates can help rescue players caught in its field.

Reaper

Threat Level: Medium

The slow, deaf Reaper is easily avoided but powerful. Ranged attacks are the most effective strategy.

Robe

Threat Level: High

Robe is a fast, aggressive pursuer that enters a frenzy when directly observed, significantly increasing its speed and damage output. Avoidance and stealth are crucial due to its high health pool.

Rugrat

Threat Level: Low

While seemingly harmless, Rugrat throws valuable items upon detection. Avoidance is recommended as eliminating it requires multiple players.

Spewer

Threat Level: Medium

This tadpole-like creature chases and vomits, potentially harming players and items. Grabbing and shaking it will cause it to flee. Its vomit can also damage enemies.

Shadow Child

Threat Level: Low

Despite its unsettling appearance, the Shadow Child possesses low health, making it easily eliminated.

Trudge

Threat Level: High

Trudge's deadly mace attack pulls players in for an instant kill. Its ability to pull players from hiding makes avoidance the best tactic.

Upscream

Threat Level: Medium

Upscreams attack in groups, grabbing and throwing players. While vulnerable to various attacks, the tranq gun is particularly effective for stunning and subsequent disposal.

Mastering these strategies will significantly improve your chances of survival in the terrifying world of R.E.P.O. Remember to consult additional resources like The Escapist for further game tips.
