← ENEMIES·TERMINIDS·PREDATOR STRAIN PREDATOR STALKER
The Predator Stalker (also known as Prowler[1]) is a large Terminid that is part of the Predator Strain subfaction, and is a variant of the Stalker. They are more common than Stalkers, but are unable to camouflage.
TACTICAL BRIEF
• Despite its menacing prefix, Predator Stalkers are individually weaker than Stalkers. However, they, alongside Predator Hunters, can make any patrol or Bug Breach significantly more dangerous due to their aggressive nature.
• Predator Stalkers are unable to inflict the potent knockback of Stalkers, as they are missing their tongue attack. They are able to constantly attack using their claws instead.
• Weapons with high stagger are particularly useful against Predator Stalkers, preventing them from attacking. The SG-451 Cookout is a very effective weapon against Predator Stalkers, as it deals a high amount of stagger and also deals 25% more incendiary damage to Predator Stalkers.
• Explosive weaponry should be carefully used, as while they can stagger Predator Stalkers, they can close the distance too quickly for explosives to be safely used.
• The A/MG-43 Machine Gun Sentry, A/G-16 Gatling Sentry, and the A/FLAM-40 Flame Sentry can all quickly deal with swarms of Predator Stalkers as long as they have a vantage point.
• AX/TX-13 "Guard Dog" Dog Breath can be helpful against Predator Stalkers, as it can confuse and damage any that come near the Helldiver.
