Tips & Strategies
These things are the worst. They’ll attack you very sneakily, and I hate having to take time off of my task just to build a campfire to get the stupid thing off. Even though it just takes a little bit of time to get the thing off, it’s still extremely annoying. Luckily I haven’t encountered a diseased leech yet, so there’s that.
I ensure my raft has a campfire and fuel. Just be sure to watch your screen, I sometimes don't notice they got me until way too late!
This is one scary boi that will suck you dry
If you have a leech attached to you and you never came in contact with a leech. One of your tamed Dino’s probably has a leech on them.
Bro i hate These Things my Tip is when you see one just dont come to close
you can never see them coming... Until its too late..
To remove this bugger on Xbox since an “e” button fails to exist. Hold y. And above access inventory it’ll say hold to remove leech. Literally just watched 20 videos about the e button but nothing about Xbox or console buttons b were mentioned
I was hunting sarcos and found a baryonyx I wanted to tame. Then I found this guy and he chased me halfway from the swamp to my base. I took care of him with my shotgun though.
Fire still works to get rid of them just tested it
Enjoy your swamp fever! I’ve been on servers where the entirety of the player base was infected somehow and non of them ever spawn to get leech blood
They suck to get on you fight from long range
If you get leached, don't freak out, worst possible scenario from getting leached is that you freak out, run to your base, use all of your Stam and stop walking and you get attacked by something (baryonyx, sarco, kapro, titanboa, ect.) Or that you somehow forget that it stuck to your face and realize it who knows how long later (10, 20 minutes maybe no clue) when in red print, "you have died." These are definitely not something to worry about too much, but try to get it off the first chance you get.
My short tip is they belong in the trash and they suck my blood
To the post that said they weren’t sure if swamp fever exists in mobile, it does. I’ve gotten it on mobile. Also I was killing animals in the swamp with my dire wolf and it said killed infected leech in the kill feed.
I know a good trick for raiding find a disease that leech let it infect one of your dinos with mega rabies then kill the leech and make sure you brought lesser antidote then after it infected your Dino take the dino put it in a cryopod then take a flying Dino then drop a ton of them and throw them in the enemy's base and wait once it's done its job then you can raid the Base please help so people know about the mega rabies
