The cave leech: "Out here looking for that dwarf with the 20 foot long beard. Wait here's one. _Yoink._ Where's that 20 footer? They're invasive, so this one is coming home with me."
_The Cave Leech is the reason for the long-running informational campaign across all DRG Space Rigs. As Ranger Garfax says, says, and says again: "LOOK OUT. LOOK UP."_
Just for anyone who doesn't know: leech hissing is bugged and comes from the base of the leech and not the tentacle hand. In addition, the attenuation shape of the sound is a sphere with a limited radius. This means there are times when you will be grabbed and the leech is completely silent. There are mods that fix this, if you can't stand being grabbed by shit you can't hear.
the sissing and bickering sound of a cave leech has burned so deep into my mind, that i can hear the fuckers approaching most of the time EVEN through loud music
This is all solved by the mod that fixes the leech audio. From a circle centered on the BODY (not the arm for some reason) To a pill shape that actually covers the leech's range.
I get why it should be more subtle, but until a mod updates the audio sphere to follow the grabber arm, (which would make it slowly get louder as the arm got closer), it's the best we've got.
Starting out cave leeches were literally traumatizing, I would get dizzy from heightened senses getting triggered in a video I would be watching. They are still quite unsettling even after 4,000 hours.
@@DrDevvi ehh, not really... sometimes bugs are on the top of the cave just kinda chilling, sometimes its those cave leeches. i got to a simillar point. mostly because of gunk seed missions.
there is the sound cue, and scout megaflare is usualy the best way to spot them; the thing is, its more shamefull to get caugth than anything in the end....shaaaaame edit: also back in the days(the early age of drg) cave leech were FAAAAAAAAR more common and u could do entire mission full of them, the mission modifier wasnt a thing back then either
You’re cursed man. I feel like leeches are so rare. That being said tho, can’t remember the last time I died to one. Probably a symptom of you seemingly rarely having a scout with you to flare up, but also a skill issue. With how many leeches you run into, you’d think you’d learn. Power attack them if they’re about to get you lol, and if they’re not that close m, a mixture of shooting and walking away isn’t rocket science

"theyre invasive" is way too fitting for this

Always remember: Cave Laches aren't as afraid of you as you are of them
best loading screen tip for sure

i did not know that, so i guess if the leech is really far up youll never hear it. that explains a lot actually
Even if you hear the hissing and realise what it is, its probably too late anyways.
THAT EXPLAINS SO MUCH!!!
That's a *gleech*
this explains WAY TOO MUCH. whats the name of the mod?
there's a reason i ALWAYS use heightened senses. those things are a menace to the entire universe
they are pretty cheeky leeches
Same
I have it permanently on every class on every build
500 hours into the game and never died from them once ever since
Best perk ever
Acceptance isn't letting go of your anxiety. Acceptance is accepting that one of your two active perk slots will always be taken by sixth sense.
i just let it happen now. i dont bother with sixth sense
the sissing and bickering sound of a cave leech has burned so deep into my mind, that i can hear the fuckers approaching most of the time EVEN through loud music
i pretty much never hear them, its a real problem
@@DrDevvi the pros of having high quality headphones is sooo nice in this game 🥰
The worst that Hoxxes can bring to a gamer, force you to look up
i dont look up. too much work
Stage 4:
Spot a leech and bait your teammates to it so you can watch them get leeched.
thats the best stage

thats a good mod

they are very sneaky
Pro tip, the cave leech tf2 sniper mod makes it much easier to hear them (mainly because they now shout profanity at you)
i like the obi wan hello there mod
no matter what happens just remember
THE TENTACLE GOT ME!!!
HELP
I just listen for the sounds they make but even then I don't always here it in the chaos of the mines
i barely ever hear them
I hate cave leeches man, my teammate got side-leeched today
sideways leech is scary
@@DrDevvi you can basically see then yet you never do, literal ambush predators
I reached the stage as an engineer to always use lok-1 on the ceiling whenever i got enter a new cave system. Sometimes i get a lock in the darkness
thats terrifying
@@DrDevvi ehh, not really... sometimes bugs are on the top of the cave just kinda chilling, sometimes its those cave leeches. i got to a simillar point. mostly because of gunk seed missions.
This is why I haven’t unequipped heightened senses in over 3 years
Same
On every class on every build
I NEVER leave the rig without heightened senses, not after my first double hazard mission being mactera plauge and cave leech clusters
ill always call them barnacles
I've hade too many clutches ruined by these fuckers. That anti-grabby-thing perk is permanent for me.
yep they've ended many missions for me
3:34 Ah yes, molly rules
i was half convinced no one would find that easter egg
Its even better when you use project zomboid cave leech jumpscare sound lol
They are not afraid of you as you are of them
yeah whoever said they were was lying
10/10 very well made video
thanks, im glad you like it
as a gamer i can only look straight and down, if i cant see it, it doesnt exist
same, i only know shoot and drink. look up is too much work
They did what to the wild life
you heard mission control
Well you could use that perk that lets you escape such enemies
i gotta leave room for iron will and dash though
Ive been jumpscared by cave leeches more than Alien Isolation
The one thing that ghostship knows, is that gamers NEVER look up.
i cant be bothered tbh. too much trouble already at eye level
this is why i run the louder leeches mod
LOOK UP!
Impressive number of leech clips. Surely you were getting caught this much *intentionally* to make this wonderful content?
2 whole years worth of recordings and being pretty bad at the game make for many leech clips
there is the sound cue, and scout megaflare is usualy the best way to spot them; the thing is, its more shamefull to get caugth than anything in the end....shaaaaame
edit: also back in the days(the early age of drg) cave leech were FAAAAAAAAR more common and u could do entire mission full of them, the mission modifier wasnt a thing back then either
Hmm cave leaches i dont like them or hate them yet but looking up is not an option when theres 20+ grumts biting my feet off so yeh
hell yeah
This is so obviously staged, no dwarf in the grasp of an actual leech will say “im leeched” They are SCREAMING
I.. guess i'm never going to have this Trauma due to (video) OCdPtVaLqBU
2:34 predator

Leeches suck ;)
Leeches are b**ches 🙃
that's their one job
top comment of the video propagandizing?
Yoink
Also 3:05 - my favorite! "OHAH UUUH" XD
leeches bring the worst out of me
