Stalker forms are very weak, with a single blast from a Shotgun, slash from an [[Energy Sword]], or a few bursts from an Assault Rifle capable of bringing one down. To make up for their fragility they are incredibly fast and agile, so great accuracy is needed. If you can get up close, a single melee attack from any weapon, can usually bring one down. Any weapon will do, but grenades do it much better, because their spindly physique makes them harder to hit. When playing on higher difficulties, they have a habit of mutating when they're stuck. The grenade appears to be absorbed but does not detonate, making it useless. If you hit them with an [[Incendiary Grenade]] or a [[Flamethrower]], they will instantly jump away and scream, then they will die after a few seconds of burning. The name "Stalker" is represented quite well on both [[Cortana (Level)|Cortana]] and [[Floodgate (Level)|Floodgate]], as they blend in quite well with the surrounding, [[Flood]]-ridden walls.
