Bug #8340

Gameplay Disruption After Being Grabbed by Cave Leech During Boss Fight

Status:	Duplicate
Added by:	midgetmanifesto on May 25, '26
Reported for:	RC:EA:00.07.09 Auto

Steps to Reproduce

1. Begin a Level 1 (hazard one) mission.
2. Navigate through 4 levels.
3. Encounter the boss, who is a running guy with an orange mouth/eye, with no specials.
4. Note the presence of a cave leech almost right above the hole/warp opening.
5. Simply getting grabbed by the cave leech triggers a point of view switch to the elevator at the start of the current level.
6. This point of view switch happened more than once.
7. It is uncertain if there was more than one leech.

Explanation

On a level 1 boss fight, a cave leech grabbed me. Audio 'it got me' but viewpoint locked into the elevator start point. (I didn't realize I was grabbed by a leech). After being freed (team shot the leech) I couldn't use my weapons or special abilities or pick ax. Hands appeared to be empty. Dying and being revived resolved the issue.
