Learn how to deal with the terrifying Leech Man in Resident Evil Outbreak. Discover its attack patterns, weaknesses, and effective strategies to survive its relentless pursuit.

Alright, let's talk about one of the nastier foes you'll run into in Resident Evil Outbreak: the Leech Man. These things are basically humans completely covered in leeches, and yeah, they're as gross and dangerous as they sound. They're controlled by the leeches themselves and can pop out of vents, so you can never really get too comfortable in a room.

The Leech Man's main attack is a long punch that's made even longer by all those leeches. The real kicker is that this attack can put you into a 'bleeding' status. If you get hit and start bleeding, the Leech Man will lock onto you and won't stop until you're down. So, keeping a hemostat handy is super important when these guys are around.

Here's a bit of good news, though: you *can* kill them, but it's tricky. When you shoot a Leech Man, only the leeches on the spot you hit actually die. Since there are thousands of them, they're pretty much invincible in the traditional sense. However, you can use their size to your advantage. They stumble around like zombies, so you can try to maneuver them.

The Leech Man has a real weakness for fresh blood. If you toss a blood transfusion pack on the ground, it'll get distracted and start licking it up. This is your golden opportunity to either escape or get some tasks done while it's busy. Just be quick, because it won't stay distracted forever.

In the Appearance: The Hive scenario, the first host you'll encounter is a researcher named Scott. Eventually, the leeches take over Scott's colleague, Hursh, who might even unlock an elevator for you before turning. To stop Hursh, you can lure him with a blood transfusion pack to the low experiment laboratory on B2F, just past the doorway. Once he's distracted by the blood, and as long as no one else is in the doorway, you can operate the console to melt the leeches off. If other survivors die during an escape, they can become the new host, and a Leech Man defeated by heat won't fall for the same trick twice.
