Leaper Tactics hints and tips for Resistance: Fall of Man

Leaper Tactics

The weapons I recommend for leapers are the M5A2 Carbine and any type of grenade [including the 40 MM Grenades used as secondary fire on the M5A2]Leapers can be annoying creatures, but they are fairly simple foes to defeat.

The first few encounters you have with the leapers will only number around 10 or 15 [which is not too many considering they are about the size of cats]. When there are only around 10 or 15 leapers, the best thing to do is fire two or three rounds at a time while continuously backing away from them. If the leapers get too close, they will leap at you and attack you, which can be a nuisance with more than a few attacking. If the leapers' numbers are greater [20-30] start by throwing a grenade a short - but not very short - distance ahead of them so that the grenade explodes and kills 5 or 10 of them. If you don't have any frag, hedgehog or air-fuel grenades, shoot a 40 MM at the front of the pack for maximum effect. This should land the grenade around the center of them, killing a considerable number. One last note : since air-fuel grenades take longer to detonate, you will want to toss one quite ahead of the pack of leapers [but not too close to yourself] for the greatest effect.
