Dscar Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 Hey Warframe community! During the odd mission in warframe, at seemingly random times I've been attacked (and killed) by a mysterious assassin. He always announces his presence well before he attacks but i've found it extremely challanging to come close to killing him. After googling I discovered that these "stalkers" as they're called, always spawn well above the players level and the only strategy I could find to kill them was to play the Rhino warframe and use iron skin while you and your team take them down. While I think the idea of an assassin hunting you down is cool, the difficulty of killing these relentless tenno looking jerks seems a little high. The idea that he spawns at level 43 when you're only a level 10 (personal experience) is just rediculous. The stalker strategy usually involves running at you whilst shooting and then resolving to sword attacks in melee. His abilities as far as I could tell are Excalibur's slice dash, and Ash's smoke screen, and maybe his teleport. Needless to say I find these attacks annoying as he appears really hard to kill, especially when playing solo. Just thought I'd make this post to see what other people think about these stalker attacks and what strategies and tips you can provide to a nooblet like me :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kungen Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 He's pretty easy if you do it correctly, In my experience he only stalks one person and as long as that person stay away or hides or runs at an impossible location he can't wipe the team.

Prelizm Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 The Stalker isn't a normal Enemy... He is an Assassin or something in that way and thats what makes him a Stalker or it wouldn't be that fun. If he was an Easy Prey or and normal enemie then what would be so special about him? and thats the purpose with him. He is an Assassin that is hunting down the Tenno one by one and he's one of the tenno's most challenging Enemies because he strikes when you least expect him. When you see him just RUN! or kill him if you can. Only a well trained tenno can defeat him. ****Sorry for my bad English**** Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In my experience though my fights last not even 5 seconds (if not in cover). He just seems too strong, though I could just be a badly trained Tenno :P. I got him stuck in a room once then just kept on doing the mission, but later on he just appeared in a cloud of smoke and killed me for being a coward and running away haha.

Gereinath-Hunter Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 For me, I can usually go toe to toe with a stalker myself, but for some reason they occasionally spawn with WAY stronger weapons. I had one literally kill me with 10 shots from a Braton with 100% accuracy and no chance whatsoever to get to cover. With no opportunities to fight back, no loot, and generally no benefit besides not wasting your damned time, it kinda just feels like it's there expressly to knock off any extra lives you have. -Bea Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buddlschlumpf Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 By now, I killed him everytime he appeared without any problems? You just need enough shields and a sentinel. 1on1 against a stalker he can recharge your shields forever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RainDreamer Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 You don't have to kill him to proceed though. The idea is to keep you on your toe. If you kill him, good for you, less hassle in the mission. But if you can't kill him due to lack of skill/level, then run the hell away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
