Get CatBee Off

Quick Answer

Have a teammate hit the attached CatBee with a thrown object. If you are alone, the October beta also demonstrated bouncing an object off a wall to knock a CatBee off yourself.

Ask a nearby teammate to knock it off

  1. Tell your teammate that CatBee is attached to you.
  2. Give them a clear view and room to aim at the attached enemy.
  3. Have them throw an available object at CatBee.
  4. Check that it has detached before returning to the task you were doing.

The demonstrated response is a thrown-object hit. There is no confirmed dedicated shake-off button or required item list here. Avoid promising that a particular object always works regardless of the throw or impact.

Try the wall-bounce method when alone

The solo technique uses a nearby wall to redirect a thrown object back toward the attached CatBee. Position yourself for the returning object to reach the enemy, then aim the throw at the wall.

This method was shown as a practical alternative when a teammate could not help. No exact angle, wall distance, or charge duration is established here. If the rebound misses, adjust your position instead of interpreting one failed attempt as proof that CatBee cannot be removed solo.

Treat poison after removal

Knocking the enemy off does not establish that its poison has been cleared. Check your remaining condition and use an Antidote when poisoned.

The beta description associates poison with impaired climbing. That makes it especially important to resolve the condition before depending on a difficult climb to escape another threat.

A Sewing Kit's launch role is reviving a fallen teammate. Do not treat it as a confirmed substitute for an Antidote. Removing CatBee, treating poison, and reviving a teammate are different tasks, even if they happen during the same encounter.
