R.E.P.O. Monster
Clown
Danger Level 3The Clown is a Level 3 monster with both a ranged and a melee attack, and one of the two highest damage figures in R.E.P.O. Its laser is telegraphed, which is the only reason it is survivable.

Behaviour
It roams while causing screen shake for nearby semibots, which is your early warning. On spotting you it charges up and fires a laser beam from the bulb on its nose, sweeping horizontally at head height: 30 damage on the hit and 70 more when you are thrown into a surface, for 100 total. If you survive that, it walks over and kicks — 10 damage plus 50 on impact, so 60 total. It also kicks doors, large valuables and the C.A.R.T. out of its path.
How to survive it
Crouch under the sweep. If it aims low, jump it; if it aims high, stay still and do nothing. Dodge the kick by jumping over it or backing off the instant it starts. Its hitbox is oddly shaped and eats a lot of ranged shots, so expect misses. Two hard rules: do not hide from a Clown standing right next to you, because it will wait you out, and never hold onto it while it charges — if it breaks free it spins and discharges the laser in every direction at once.
REPODLE hints
Very Heavy weight is shared by exactly two monsters, the Clown and the Trudge. Both are Level 3 with a Large orb, 100 damage and a strength breakpoint of 13, so the only column that separates them is health: 250 for the Clown against 500 for the Trudge. If Classic mode gives you Very Heavy, you have a coin flip and one clean tiebreaker.
