STALKER
A side effect of Terminid gene splicing research, Stalkers can camouflage themselves almost to the point of invisibility. But nothing can hide from the cleansing light of Freedom forever.
TACTICAL BRIEF
• Stalkers are among the most dangerous Terminids and should be a priority target once spotted. Their tongue attack can knock Helldivers over, and their claws swipes are quick with high damage.
• Despite lacking armor, Stalkers are significantly more durable than Hunters and other medium-sized Terminids, and have health comparable to a Brood Commander. Precision is of the utmost importance as their heads have very little health.
• Stalkers that are on fire, gassed, or have Terminid Blood/Bile on them will be partially visible when camouflaged. Stalkers take 25% more fire damage, making incendiary weapons such as the SG-451 Cookout or AR-2 Coyote effective against them, and can counteract their health regeneration.
• Weapons that can stagger, such as the SG-8 Punisher or M90A Shotgun can prevent Stalkers from attacking. Weaponry that can stun, such as the SG-20 Halt or AR-32 Pacifier, are even more effective and can leave Stalkers vulnerable to Support Weapons.
