Battlefield Tactics
These ferocious beasts might think they are cloaked, but a keen eye will spot them from a mile away. Upon sight prioritise finding their hideout, heading towards the direction they came from. Killing them only goes so far when their backup is ready on speed dial.
Stalkers, the masters of deception, lurk within the shadows, patiently awaiting the perfect moment to strike with lethal precision. Their cunning maneuvers and lightning-fast assaults render them elusive targets, demanding sharp observation and lightning-quick reflexes to effectively neutralize.
To unveil the presence of these stealthy foes, strategic utilization of Smoke Grenades or disturbance of spore clouds emitted from scattered eggs is paramount. Moving with the swiftness akin to their brethren, the Hunters, Stalkers employ similar tactics, utilizing their elongated tongues to ensnare and incapacitate their prey from afar.
When confronted by Stalkers, prioritize concentrated firepower and heavy ordinance to swiftly dispatch these nimble adversaries. While resilient, Stalkers succumb to sustained onslaughts or well-placed explosives, thwarting their attempts to unleash havoc upon Helldivers.
Be wary of Stalker tongue-attacks, which have the potential to knock down players and disrupt coordinated assaults. Additionally, Stalkers may temporarily retreat when faced with significant damage, requiring relentless pursuit and unwavering determination to ensure victory.
Eradicating Stalker dens is imperative to halt the spawning of additional threats, depriving the Terminid swarm of reinforcements and shifting the tide of battle in favor of Super Earth. Encounters with Stalkers serve as ominous indicators of nearby nests, compelling proactive measures to eliminate these elusive adversaries and ensure humanity's triumph.
