Can't you see the fleas?

This review was machine-translated from the Japanese original. Numbers are checked against the original; if the wording reads oddly, the Japanese version is authoritative.

The Torg-made assault rifle whose fired sticky projectiles attach themselves to the targeted enemy. Even when shooting at the ground or objects, the sticky moves to the most recently damaged enemy and explodes. Even if you scatter them randomly, they hit enemies, a Torg-style explosive firepower rifle. Added in Bounty Pack 2 “Legend of the Stone Demon”.

🧩 Red text source “Can’t you see the fleas?” is a wordplay on the weapon name “Fleabag” (meaning a flea‑infested dog / shabby thing). The image of jumping fleas matches the sticky projectiles that hop between targets. The primary source confirming it as a quote from a specific work or real phrase is unverified. The external source is (unverified).

What kind of assault rifle? (Beginner’s perspective)

• Torg-made assault rifle. True to Torg, the ammo is sticky (Sticky) rounds, which attach and then explode
• With the unique ability “Ringleader”, the sticky rounds move from themselves to the enemy that was most recently damaged. They cling to enemies even when fired at the ground or objects
• The sticky’s fuse (time until automatic detonation) is longer than the usual ~10 seconds, lasting about 15 seconds ((unverified): exact seconds)
• Even if you scatter them randomly, they are easy to hit = you can output explosive firepower without relying on aim accuracy, making it a beginner‑friendly type

Unique effect (Mechanics)

Ringleader: Sticky projectile (Sticky) moves to the most recently damaged target.

• In‑game: Ringleader: Sticky Projectiles move to the most recently hit target
• Web (Lootlemon): Ringleader - Sticky Projectiles move to the most recently hit target.
• The sticky moves to a new valid target that was dealt gun damage, and projectiles fired at the ground or objects also cling to enemies ((unverified): details of behavior)
• The sticky’s delay before automatic detonation is longer than normal (about 15 seconds ((unverified)))
• Weakness: there is a one‑step delay from sticky to explosion, making instant‑impact firepower hard to achieve

Drop Farming

Summary

• Sticky rounds attach to the enemy most recently hit with a Torg-made AR (Ringleader)
• The sticky’s fuse is longer = a playstyle of scattering then detonating later
• It has the quirk that instant‑impact firepower is hard to achieve
• Obtained from Bounty Pack 2’s The Stone Demon (The Demon’s Domain)
