How to Defeat Stalker Forms
Stalker forms are very weak, but they are incredibly fast and agile. If you can get up close, a single melee attack from any weapon can usually bring one down. Any projectile weapon will do, but grenades do a much better job, because their spindly physique makes them harder to hit.When playing on higher difficulties, they have a frustrating habit of mutating when they are 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. Although unconfirmed, once a Stalker is set on fire, they will die once they hit the ground. For the "second" time. If a Stalker is in midair, and is only hit once by the fire, they will merely die once they hit the ground. The name "stalker" is represented quite well on both Cortana and Floodgate as they blend in quite well with the surrounding flood ridden walls.
