Stalker are broken OP

[ZEEZOT]

The are horrible designed, broken ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥.

And this is not about 'just get better' they are way to fast and have so much health.
I know dying i the core gameplay of the game but this just makes the game so much worse

That is their purpose, if you don't look for their nest and kill it, they will be a constant thorn in your side. You aren't supposed to just let them keep coming, you need to make their nest a priority and look for it.

autocannon support weapon. 3 good hits will kill any stalker no problem, 2 if you take out a major limb. oh, and the autocannon can fire in full-auto mode. just switch the firing mode by holding reload. dont forget to USE the gyroscopic targeting (little white circle that moves around randomly) to actually hit your shots. that little white circle is where your shot will actually land. Also, use first-person-aiming to hit far off targets. it's incredible accurate over a significant range. Further, the autocannon support weapon can close bug holes (from any distance) if you can see directly into the bug hole, with a single shot.

there are tools this game provides to solve all the problems the game presents.

you could try energy shield, shotgun combo or machine pistol secondary. i never had a problem after that. and yeah they are designed to force you to attack their nest or they get out of hand. i like them as they are personally.

[Myth Alric]

The energy shield is great if you have annoying stuff like that, since it keeps you from getting stun locked or knocked over.

[phlux]

Yeah kill their nest as soon as you spot one. They usually don't spawn in large numbers, just rush it down and get rid of them.

crouch or go prone to further increase you aim and recoil control with the auto cannon.

"There are tools the game provides"

Yeah, autocannon. For every. single. problem.

It's brokenly overpowered. Or rather, the game is limited by consoles so it can't afford to send too many enemies at once, so it makes up for that by turning every enemy into a bullet sponge so the only viable weapons are the heavy hitting, armor piercing weapons.

What creative design.

[CHAOSDIVER]

Use solo shield it makes stalkers a joke they can't even throw you.

SKILL...ISSUE...

[Rager]

They are broke higher ranks. Not the damage they do but how much hp they have.
