Summary

The Peeper is a ceiling-dwelling monster that remains closed until a player enters its view. Once it opens, it forces the player’s crosshair toward it, and if they stare for ~3 seconds, it deals 10 damage per second until eye contact is broken. The effect stops when the player looks away, causing the Eye to disappear after a few seconds. While affected, a player’s voice pitch becomes helium-high, and their FOV zooms in, making navigation disorienting. The best way to counter it is to always be ready to retrace your steps and quickly break line of sight. Tumbling into a doorway or under a table is usually effective, and having a teammate nearby helps, as the Peeper can only target one player at a time—letting someone else guide you or close a door to cut off its effect.

Behavior

They appear occasionally on ceilings, closed. When it enters your field of view and you are in the same room as it, it opens up and your cross-hair will be forced towards it.

If you stare at it for longer than ~3 seconds, you will start taking 10 damage every second. The effect stops and the Eye disappears after a couple seconds of not seeing it.

Affected players have their voice/TTS pitch substantially increased, much like they've inhaled helium (this goes away as soon as they break eye contact).

Survival Tips

  • Retrace your steps to leave the room or break line of sight
  • You can tumble and have another player move you to safety if caught in its grasp
  • One should be subconsciously prepared for it by making sure you can always retrace your steps to break line of sight.
  • The Eyes can only lock on to a single player at a time, so you can have another person guide you or close a door for you to stop the line of sight.
