Helldivers 2 has taken the world by storm, and it could quite possibly be the Game of the Year if the developers continue to play their cards right. The co-op shooter is one of a kind, and it manages to deliver plenty of reasons for players to keep returning for more. Be it weapons or unique enemy types, you will get your fill.
Helldivers 2 Players Aren't Happy About Fire Damage Changes
Many Helldivers 2 players are sharing frustrations over a recent change to fire damage that was implemented in the game's April 2 update.
Speaking of unique enemy types, if you are playing Terminid missions, you may have come across 
Stalkers at higher difficulty levels. As the name implies, these pesky creatures will stalk you and attack you when you least suspect it. What is worse is that Stalkers can cloak themselves, making it difficult for you to point them out. Keeping this in mind, this guide will cover everything there is to know about killing Stalker in Helldivers 2, along with other useful information.
Tips for Killing Stalkers in Helldivers 2
Here are a few helpful tips that will make it easy for you to take out Stalkers with ease:
- To take out Stalkers quickly, aim for their heads.
- Don’t let Stalkers get too close, and take them out as soon as possible.
- Shoot their wings to hamper their mobility.
- Primary weapons like the AR-23 rifles are incredibly effective against Stalkers.
- Since Stalkers circle their prey, you should take out the ones on the sides first, after which you can deal with the rest.
- Stalkers are the only Terminid unit type that can outrun you, and they can become invisible, so be sure to keep some smoke grenades handy to pinpoint their exact location.
- Get the Rover Support Stratagem as soon as possible. This handy Stratagem will protect you from Stalkers who are attempting to sneak behind you without alerting you.
- As soon as you come across Stalkers, you can be sure there is a Stalker nest nearby. If this is the case, locate and destroy the Stalker nest right away. By destroying the nest, you will also prevent more Stalkers from spawning.
Essentially, your best strategy for killing Stalkers involves killing them as soon as you encounter them and destroying their nest to avoid getting flanked when you least expect it. Of course, there are many other ways you can go about killing Stalkers, but the tips provided above will ensure you can get through the toughest Terminid missions without having to worry about sneak attacks every time.
