The Peeper is a tricky adversary, lurking on ceilings and blending seamlessly into its surroundings. This giant eyeball remains closed until you unwittingly enter its territory, at which point it springs to life, capturing your gaze and inflicting a steady two points of damage to your HP per second. While the Peeper ranks low in terms of lethality, its ability to disorient players by zooming in their view can be a significant hindrance, especially when other threats loom nearby.

To evade the Peeper’s hypnotic stare, your best strategy is to break the line of sight. This can be achieved by quickly moving around a corner or through a door. If a door is available, closing it can sever the Peeper's gaze, although this might require some effort. Enlisting a teammate to shut the door for you can make this tactic even more effective. The key is to keep moving and avoid panicking, maintaining a clear escape route in mind at all times.
