Remove leeches from single player

[MisterMeth]

As you need another person to get them off you. Is it possible to remove leeches for single player? Can I replace them with something?

[MisterMeth]

done some reading and i think to remove the leeches you have to put this in game.ini:
[/script/shootergame.shootergamemode]
NPCReplacements=(FromClassName="Leech_Character_C",ToClassName="")

You don't need another person you can just stand close to fire like the campfire, cooking pot, industrial grill etc.

and are they needed for something except for the antidote? otherwise i'm just gonna leave them out

So...
[/script/shootergame.shootergamemode]
NPCReplacements=(FromClassName="Leech_Character_C",ToClassName="")
NPCReplacements=(FromClassName="Leech_Character_Diseased_C",ToClassName="")

and I need not worry about them.... Cool
(I spent about 30 minutes in my camp fire... posing different ways... Crouching... Laying on the fire... Nothing worked. So........

If all else fails STAND ON THE CAMPFIRE!!! works 100% of the time :)

you need to burn yourself with the fire to get the leech off, i worked that out in like 2 minutes of getting infected by a leech without anyone telling me, how thick are you guys?

Have to jump right into the center of the fire , its a hit /miss sort of thing to get it to work properly.

Stupid mechanic, if that is the solution. Like using a cannon to kill a mosquito. Instead of standing in a bonfire, the solution should be to use a torch.

Well in RL they did use a actual missle to shoot a small drone out of the sky so its not completely crazy lol :P . I agree on the torch thing as that was one of the first things i tried when the disease first came out as my bird and my character got infected on patch day .

You're responding to a thread that's almost a year old, how thick are you?

Lots of necro posts lately , almost seems like the forums are fizzling out .

Well, I just tried with the fire.. did NOT work and I died.. sooo yeah I guess I'm confused. Do you have to survive over 200 health for a leech to die like wtf?!

[Bullwinkle]

iirc, you only needed to spend a short time in the campfire. That was a long time ago, Maybe things have changed. This is a very old thread, and I haven't played much lately.
