Cole uses Bio Leech on a pedestrian
Bio-Leech is an inherently evil ability of Cole's. Once you find an injured pedestrian or stunned enemy, stand over them and lock on. When you select the Bio-Leech option, you have to rapidly press the square button in order to help Cole overpower his target. Once Cole overpowers his victim, he grabs their face and sucks out the energy contained in the target's own bio-electric field. This, of course, results in the death of the victim.
The leeched energy acts just like the energy sucked from Empire City's power grid using Electric Drain, completely healing Cole and recharging his battery Cores, in addition to gaining some negative karma and a single experience point.
If used on a Conduit, the XP description says "Dark Feast" instead of "Drain", however, unlike the "Tough Collar" bonus from restraining a Conduit, Dark Feast does not increase the amount of XP you earn. You unlock the "The Hunger" Trophy by Bio-Leeching 100 enemies.
Bugs
- While Bio-Leech is supposed to kill the target, pedestrians will still blink and move their eyes after it is used on them.
- Perhaps it does not kill them, but just overloads the brain with elecricity. As such, this would mean that subconsious efforts, such as blinking, would still occur, and the eye movement could be elecronic pulses in the brain.
