Predator Stalker

The Predator Stalker 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.

Spawning

Predator Stalkers can be first found on Challenging Difficulty Icon.svg Challenging on planets invaded by the Predator Strain. Unlike Stalkers, Predator Stalkers do not require a Stalker Lair to spawn, instead spawning normally with other Terminids. They can spawn from Bug Breaches, within patrols, guarding Bug Nests, Objectives, and Minor Places of Interest.

Behavior

Unlike Stalkers, Predator Stalkers cannot camouflage or attack with their tongues. They also do not retreat from taking damage, making them relentless and extremely aggressive as they will constantly attack until their prey is killed or they are killed.

General

  • Despite lacking armor, Stalkers have health and durability compared to Brood Commanders. Use Support Weapons and aim for their heads to take them out quickly.
  • Stalkers are dangerous in swarms, as they can quickly overwhelm individual Helldivers, decimating an entire squad if not dealt with.
  • Weapons that can stagger, such as the SG-8 Punisher, can prevent Stalkers from attacking.

* Parts with their HP listed as "Main" do not have their own individual health. All damage dealt to these parts is transferred to the enemy's Main health pool.
** Refer to armor values and enemy durability as defined in Damage.
*** The percentage of damage that is applied to the enemy's Main health pool. At 0 HP, the enemy dies. Unless the enemy has constitution, then it will bleedout and die.
**** ExDR means explosive damage resistance, this is a percentage between 0 and 100. If this value is 100%, the part is explosive immune, meaning explosives cannot damage it. Explosions will only directly damage Main health if it is internal.


Tactical Information

Predator Stalker Specific

  • 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.
  • The GL-21 Grenade Launcher is an exceptional weapon against predator stalkers as it 2 shots them and is highly recommended due to situations where once can find themselves against a group of pursuing predator stalkers.
  • Weapons with high stagger are particularly useful against Predator Stalkers as it can slow them down enough to prevent them from killing their target.
    • The SG-451 Cookout is a very effective weapons against Predator Stalkers, as it has enough stagger force to keep them at bay and Predator Stalkers have a 125% fire damage multiplier meaning they take additional fire damage.
  • 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 slows down any enemy that comes near the Helldiver.
    • Helldivers should be wary of Terminids that get too close, as the Guard Dog can accidentally gas them as well.
