*To make up for their fragility they are incredibly fast and agile, so great accuracy is needed. Any weapon will do, but grenades do it much better, because their spindly physique makes them harder to hit. Just don't do it when they jump up on the wall or come near you. | *To make up for their fragility they are incredibly fast and agile, so great accuracy is needed.

*When playing on higher difficulties, they have a habit of mutating when they're stuck with a plasma grenade. The grenade appears to be absorbed but does not detonate, making it useless. If you hit them with an [[Orgudam Workshop firebomb|Incendiary Grenade]] or a [[m7057/Defoliant Projector|flamethrower]], they will instantly jump away and scream, then they will die after a few seconds of burning. | *When playing on higher difficulties, they have a habit of mutating when they're stuck with a plasma grenade.

*The name "Stalker" is represented quite well on both [[Cortana (level)|Cortana]] and [[Floodgate]], as they blend in quite well with the surrounding [[The Flood|Flood]]-ridden walls. It is easier to kill them at close range with the sword before they transform into the much more powerful [[Flood tank form|Tank Form]]. | *The name "Stalker" is represented quite well on both [[Cortana (level)|Cortana]] and [[Floodgate]], as they blend in quite well with the surrounding [[The Flood|Flood]]-ridden walls.

*The Stalker Forms rarely attack the player. When it does, it doesn't cause as much damage as it does not possess the skill set (strength, weapon compatibility, shooting needles) that the other [[The Flood|Flood]] forms have. Stalker Forms are more likely to mutate into one of the other [[Flood pure form|Pure Forms]] than to attack in open combat against a player. | *The Stalker Forms rarely attack the player.
