Stalkers often employ [[plasma rifle]]s, [[spiker]]s and [[incendiary grenade]]s in battle. The added advantage of their cloaking devices is balanced out by their below-average armor and health for a Brute (a feature they share with the stealth elite); a Brute Stalker is about on par with a [[Brute Minor]] in terms of shielding strength and health. On [[Heroic]] difficulty it takes 24 assault rifle bullets to kill a Stalker; 8 shots to bring down their shield, and an additional 16 shots to kill them. | Stalkers often employ [[plasma rifle]]s, [[spiker]]s, [[Type-52 Pistol|maulers]] and [[incendiary grenade]]s in battle.

Once you spot the distinctive visual disruption caused by their [[active camouflage]], use your weapon and [[melee]] them. They will be stunned and temporarily visible. Follow up with more melees until they're dead. It is advisable to only attempt this when there are no enemies nearby. Charging a [[Plasma Pistol]] and firing at the movement shimmers and it will usually strip their power armor, making them visible. Also, they will be temporarily visible when they throw their firebomb grenades. | Once you spot the distinctive visual disruption caused by their [[active camouflage]], use your weapon and [[melee]] them.
