Stalker

From Killing Floor Wiki

The Stalker is a weak and fast specimen with the ability to render herself almost invisible. Her only audible cues are that of their inane mutterings as they head towards you. Because of this, players can often be attacked from behind or from the sides before they're aware of the their presence.

Due to her low amount of health, her speed, invisibility, and penchant for taking the most direct route to the players, she can often come into the line of fire before players notice her existence, which is usually a non-issue. However, for players using explosives or the Flamethrower without effective fire resistance, she is a hazard that can cause a player's death; either via direct damage or from the repercussions of said projectiles striking an unintended, close-range obstacle.

Biology

Appearance

The Stalker is one of only two types of specimens with female form, the other being the Siren. When visible, the Stalker's skin is pale and stained with blood. Her eyes are blueish-white and she only has hair on the right side of the head; the left side is bald with a large scar. Several other large scars can be found dotted around their torso. She wears several fabric bands and black frilly underwear.

Behaviour

The Stalker runs towards players under the cover of their invisibility. She reveals herself only when she strikes, and often mutters various things that usually serve to alert players of her existence.

Extermination

	Beginner	Normal	Hard	Suicidal
Total health	50	100	135	175
Head health	13	25	34	44
Bounty	£30	£15	£12	£9

A Stalkers base health total health is 100, and head health is 25. These figures are then multiplied by 0.5 on beginner, 1.35 on hard, and 1.75 for suicidal. The base bounty value is £15, this is then multiplied by 2 for beginner, 0.85 on hard, 0.65 on suicidal and reduced to its floor value.

The Stalker can usually be killed with a single shot from the majority of weapons but, due to the requirements of the Commando perk, it is advised that you or a teammate take them out with an assault rifle.

Detection

While the easiest way to detect cloaked Stalkers is as a Commando, this isn't always an option. The first sign of the Stalker's existence is often her distinctive vocalisations, which can give you a general idea of the direction from which she is approaching. These vocalisations, however, are often overwhelmed by the sounds of gunfire on multiplayer. Under most circumstances, it is possible to discern them by the semi-transparent white sections of her limbs and face, or by her moving shadow. The Stalker is often found to travel with Crawlers because they share spawn points, but this tactic is a less reliable indicator.
