Stalker's Appearing

[Ninja234War]

This guy, always comes for me when I was not looking for him. I am farming for MOA cabinets to defend it in Xini, then this guy suddenly appears! When I went searching for him, he almost nearly didn't spawn.

 

Nah, so I went searching for MOA cabinets to defend the objective. My mind focused towards the objective, and I even forgotten about Stalker. I keep focusing, focusing, and finally. He appeared. I even forgetted Stalker, thinking he won't hunt me for a long time.

 

This incident always happen when I am playing Solo. 100+ solo runs (approxtimately), appeared 57 times approx,, thousands of online runs, only a few spawns.

Questioning Stalker spawn rate as being higher / more likely in solo mode?

 

Implying Stalker shows up when you don't want him to? (that's the idea?)

RNG.

 

I believe Stalker's chance of showing up is now 1.5% in a mission, with +.5% per additional member of your group. So with a full group, there's a 3% chance of Stalker showing up (or G3 in Grineer missions if you have a death mark; Harvester in Corpus missions if you have a death mark) within the first four minutes of a mission. Any point after four minutes and none of them will show.

 

So, technically, he's supposed to have a higher chance of showing up if you're in a group with additional people. But I suppose we don't quite know the inner mechanics of how Stalker, G3, or Harvester work.
