Veteran Comments
This weapon is literally useless, much like the GTW ML-16 (after shields), the GTW Prometheus R, or the Training Laser used by the GTDr Amazon. Unlike its descendent the GTW Lamprey which at least has some shield damage, the Leech does almost nothing other then energy leeching, which doesn't do squat in single player and does little in multiplayer.
