In the cooperative horror game *R.E.P.O.*, navigating through eerie, abandoned locales to retrieve valuables is a thrilling challenge, heightened by the presence of various mischievous and dangerous creatures. Each mission in *R.E.P.O.* is fraught with tension and unpredictability as you and your team face off against terrifying monsters intent on thwarting your progress to the next level.
Every monster in *R.E.P.O.* boasts unique abilities, behaviors, and attack patterns, necessitating strategic adaptation to ensure survival and a safe return to the truck. Some creatures stealthily stalk their prey before attacking, while others are noisy, making stealth impossible but alerting you to their presence. Sound-sensitive monsters require players to move silently to avoid detection, whereas sight-based hunters demand that you keep them in your line of sight to stay safe.
With such a diverse array of monsters, it's crucial to understand which ones pose a significant threat and which are merely a nuisance—unless they attract more dangerous foes. In survival games like *R.E.P.O.*, knowledge is power; learning the monsters' behaviors and damage potential is essential for your team's success.
R.E.P.O. Monster Tier List
Tier 1 – Mostly a nuisance, can be helpful.
Tier 2 – Easy to get around unless overwhelmed.
Tier 3 – Deadly if caught unawares.
Tier 4 – The deadliest monsters. Can one-shot players at lower levels.
Monster | Tier | Description |
Apex Predator (Duck) | 1 | Just don’t touch it. It can be used as a defense against the Huntsman if timed right. |
Gnomes | 1 | They do little damage and are easily killed. |
Animal | 1 | Each one deals little damage, and they are easily picked up. They destroy any Gnomes they run over. |
Hidden | 1 | He can carry you back to the truck or into a monster, but doesn’t deal any damage himself. |
Shadow Child | 1 | Don’t look at it, and it won’t hurt you. |
Spewer | 1 | Once attached to you, it can be used against other monsters. Leaves you unharmed. |
Bowtie | 2 | Slow monster unless annoyed (but even then, not very fast). Its breath can damage, but it’s easy to avoid. |
Peeper | 2 | Does little damage once its gaze is locked with yours, but if other monsters are around, it can be more than a nuisance. |
Chef | 2 | They can easily roll into each other, killing themselves. Can’t get you if you hide up high. |
Bangers | 2 | You have 10 seconds to get away once their dynamite ignites – only a problem if caught in the explosion. |
Huntsman | 3 | Hunts purely on sound – so if you’re quiet (or the duck doesn’t give away your position), you’re safe. However, if shot, it could end your run. |
Rugrat | 3 | Super strong and can kill by throwing objects at the player. A vase can be a one-shot for a low-level player. |
Upscream | 3 | Relentless like Animal, but deals far more damage. If multiple spawn, they could all take you down together. |
Mentalist | 3 | They have poor eyesight but great hearing, so it’s possible to run and hide. However, each hit deals 50 damage and more than one can spawn at a time. |
Trudge | 3 | Extremely slow and loud, so you can hear it coming a mile away, but if caught, it’s game over, even with some health upgrades. |
Reaper | 4 | Slow until they see you, and then they speed up. You can hear them coming, and it’s possible to get away, but without health upgrades, you’re dead in a few seconds. |
Clown | 4 | Charges when it sees you and has two attacks, a kick and a laser. Both deal deadly damage. |
Robe | 4 | Silent and often sees you before you see it. Can get under furniture to get you and will pursue quickly. Deadly if caught. |
Headman | 4 | Relentless in its pursuit of you, its bite deals 50 damage each time and is highly lethal. |
