One of the new members of the R.E.P.O. Monster Update is the Loom. Like a ghost story brought to life, the Loom is a horrifying woman in ******, sporting an unnaturally wide and crooked grin as she towers over her prey.

The ultimate semibot tracker, here's everything you need to know about the scariest

Screenshot by Destructoid Loom may be terrifying, but she's thankfully not that fast. Keeping a steady walking pace, this monster will continue to hunt you down until she uses the one powerful move in her arsenal. Of course, if you're running solo, the Loom will continue to pursue you until eventually running out of steam. It's highly unlikely you'll ever see this phase if you're playing with friends, but the Loom can fall into a docile and harmless state where she flees to the furthest point on the map. But this only happens if she cannot kill you after five attempts.

This phase is evident by the Loom's sudden physical change, where she's running away with her back hunched over and her hands small in front of her. Provoking her here only resets her attack animation, and she'll get aggressive once more.

Video by Destructoid As this phase isn't guaranteed, we've come up with multiple ways to deal with this monstrosity. Of course, the obvious thing to do is use either the Handgun (seven bullets) or Shotgun to quickly remove her from the lobby. Because of her sheer size, the C.A.R.T. Cannon or Laser is a worthy opponent against the Loom. She can be stunned by either the Tranq Gun or Baseball Bat and thrown into death pits before the Overcharge mechanic comes into play. It is possible to treat this monster like the Apex Predator, Elsa, or Tick, where you gather valuables while staying away from this entity. But the Loom moves silently, meaning you'd have to constantly keep a lookout to ensure you're never hit by her attack.

Make sure you've upgraded your health at least twice so that you can survive a Loom attack. Do not Tumble Launch or crouch near her.

Video by Destructoid Outside of this, the Loom has a glaring negative that you can use to your advantage. Her clap has a max range where she cannot lift her arms high enough to reach her target. I noticed this on Headman Manor, where you can use bookcases or stacked furniture to stand above her. You need to be at a greater height than the top of her head for this to work. You'll then notice Loom cannot reach you here. Using

, Double Jump, or the environment to get away from Loom is more likely to save you and force her to switch targets. Whether it be by exploding from Cauldrons to reach Swiftbroom balconies, ascending shipment containers on McJannek, or jumping into vents in the Museum, you should always look for something to climb when Loom is in view.
