Its attack pool increases as its health decreases, so it is highly advised to utilize high damage weapons, such as the Railgun or Pulse Laser. This rate goes down as the difficulty increases, with the lowest spawn chance being 10% on missions between 60-99% difficulty.ĭespite being the slowest abyssal creature, the Latcher is still a threat to seafarers. Between difficulties of 10-25%, the Latcher has a 100% chance to spawn. The Latcher's spawn rate depends on the mission's difficulty. Unlike the other abyssal creatures, however, the Latcher does not give off large sonar signatures revealing its position to the Navigation Terminal. Similarly to the other abyssal creatures, the Latcher can be a target of a Hunting Grounds Missions.
It will then return from a different angle, catching unsuspecting gunners by surprise. If the Latcher takes sufficient damage, it will retreat away from the submarine. Larger creatures, such as the Moloch take 3-5 bites. It can consume anything smaller than a Hammerhead in a single bite. The Latcher will focus smaller creatures outside of the submarine, preferring to swallow beings whole. This makes it a good target for preparing new players for the other horrors found in the Abyss. The Latcher has the lowest vitality out of all the current abyssal creatures. The Latcher will also ram its body into the submarine on occasion, causing further hull damage. Additionally, it will bring itself closer to the submarine and start biting at the hull, causing hull damage. Once the Latcher's tongue has made contact, it will drag the submarine into the depths of the Abyss at rapid speeds. It will then approach the submarine again and attempt once more to attach its tongue to the submarine. If this attack misses, it will retreat and observe the submarine from a safe distance. The Latcher will initially use its tongue to attack submarines. Once the tongue makes contact with a target, the Latcher will only let go if it feels threatened, wishes to attack from a new angle, or has eaten whatever it has caught. Within the mouth of this creature hides an incredibly long tongue which can extend up to 45 meters. It has four legs which make its signature on the sonar easy to identify.
Its many teeth are used to consume smaller living beings, though it has been observed to feast on corpses lost to the depths. It has several eyes which glow, revealing its position to anyone gazing through windows or a periscope.
The Latcher is a large creature which resides in the Abyss.
