Behaviour
It roams on stiff stick legs with an audible hay-crunch footstep. On spotting a semibot it stops, lowers its arms for about a second while staring, and then charges — screaming, moving at a moderate pace, and swinging for 10 damage per hit while shoving you forward and destroying anything in its path. It will not stop until you are dead or it loses sight of you, and losing sight only makes it search faster. Under a hiding spot it bends down and slashes with one arm, still 10 damage but at half speed.
How to survive it
Attack from the sides — hit it head-on and there is a good chance it knocks your weapon out of your hands. Most valuables bounce off, with the Clown Doll being the notable exception thanks to its explosive properties. It can jump but not high, so elevation usually works. The real advice is positional: it is enormously destructive to loot, so move your carts somewhere safe the moment you know one is on the floor, and break line of sight early. A Reaper is at its most dangerous against a target with no stamina left.
REPODLE hints
The Reaper is the only monster in R.E.P.O. with all four detection types — Line of Sight, Proximity, Touch and Sound. If Classic mode gives you a four-value detection cell, it is the answer immediately. Its 10 damage is also the lowest of any Level 3 monster by a wide margin, which is a useful sanity check.
