The crafting system<\/a> in Outriders is quite robust and expansive, giving players the opportunity to customize their gear the way they want. However, upon exploring the system, some players come across a certain attribute on weapons and armour, “Life Leech”, and aren’t sure what it does or how it even got on the gear to begin with.<\/p>\n

Life Leech is arguably the most popular attribute in Outriders<\/a> and for good reason. Essentially, it allows players to leech some health off enemies depending on how much damage they do with that particular weapon. If you’re dealing a ton of damage, your health is constantly being replenished thanks to Life Leech. <\/p>\n

Of course, this is only useful information if you know how to acquire the attribute and how to increase its value so you can heal even more when obliterating enemies in Outriders. <\/p>\n

Using Life Leech in Outriders<\/h2>\n

In order to acquire a piece of gear with Life Leech on it, you simply need to find it throughout the game’s loot. There’s currently no way to add an attribute onto an item. The only thing you can add are mods and additional variants to change the item’s stats. <\/p>\n

So once you find a gear piece with Life Leech equipped, it will either say “Weapon Life Leech” or “Skill Life Leech”. The former gives you health in exchange for weapon damage and the latter gives health for skill damage. Both are valuable but the weapon version is slightly better since you can do more damage with a gun. <\/p>\n
