How to Counter the Snare Flea (Centipede)

1. Use the Scanner Often
2. Trick the Snare Flea to Drop
3. Keep Weapons Handy
4. Go Outside the Facility

Use the Scanner Often

It is recommended to spam the Scanner when exploring Facilities. The Scanner will reveal Snare Fleas hiding on the ceiling, removing their element of surprise.

Additionally, scanning allows you to find your dropped items and use a weapon to remove a Snare Flea from yourself.

Trick the Snare Flea to Drop

Snare Fleas can be tricked to drop without landing on a target.

Getting close to the Snare Flea and quickly retreating afterwards will cause the Snare Flea to drop, giving you a few seconds to attack it.

Keep Weapons Handy

As Snare Fleas are hostile creatures, keeping a weapon on hand is useful to defend yourself and fellow players.

It is important to note that Radar Boosters also detach Snare Fleas, and make a good combo with weapons.

Go Outside the Facility

Snare Fleas also die when brought outside or when latched onto a player's that has been teleported.

Remember this neat trick when a Snare Flea spawns near an Entrance, or when your group has bought a Teleporter.

Snare Flea (Centipede) Behavior

Hangs From Ceilings

When a player gets nearby, Snare Fleas drop from the ceiling and latch onto a player's head. Snare Fleas injure players over time and cause reduced vision and a muffled voice.

Snare Fleas can be removed in 1 shovel hit and will die in 3 shovel hits. If a Snare Flea is not removed from a player's head, a player will eventually die.

Does Not Kill in Single Player

It is important to note that Snare Fleas behave differently in Single Player.

When playing alone, Snare Fleas will eventually drop from a player's head once the player is Critically Injured.
