    I’m level 126 in the game and I gotta say this video was awesome. Half of the shit you brought up I did not know about. Two more tips I’d recommend is with how good stalkers are now that when you see a radar station or a spore tower those in my opinion should be top priorities. Even if you feel like there may be no stalkers on the map you should still focus on those objectives so you can deal with stalkers better if you don’t know where their nests are or if there are any. Again dope ass video man thank you.

    For tactics, listen for the combat music while you are out of combat. I catch Stalkers creeping up all the time because they trigger combat music when they are trying to ambush you. Works best when you've just dropped into a mission and vulnerable and when you are scouting.

    As a level 100 who has been using the liberator concussive almost exclusively for the past month I find your comments on the Lib con to be rather humorous. You have to use short controlled bursts. The lib con has a lot of recoil and in full auto the gun bounces all over the place. The weapons own stagger also causes weak spots to move out of your line of fire. The goal is to aim for weak spots, ie heads and in the case of brood commanders their legs. Works great in conjunction with incendiary grenades and gas. It can drop a stalker rather quickly so long as you do short controlled bursts centered on their head. If you look at your own footage of the lib con vs stalker you can see the stagger is actually moving the head out of the weapons line of fire and your getting nothing but body shots. The stagger effect lasts longer than the guns rate of fire. So if you control your bursts you can get a better shot grouping on weak spots while still keeping the enemy stun locked. Its also more ammo efficient.
    My anti stalker tip is mechs. Stalkers can do hilariously little to some one in a mech and both the heavy MG and auto cannons mow them down with ease. Once safely inside a mech you can just follow the trail of stalker corpses back to their nest and democratically evict them with extreme prejudice.

      Also level 100, lib concussive is mid and I gave it a very fair chance playing many games with it. It’s really just a C tier weapon. I only used it on bugs as well. The gun is weak and runs out of ammo way too fast. So you are rather wrong.

      @@kflaco8961 did you use it or flail around hopelessly with it? Did you build your set up with it in mind? Guns do have learning curves. There is a big difference between some one who has used a weapon for a few days and some one who has used a weapon every day for a month. Even weapons as brainless as shotguns still require a bit of learning to get the most out of them. Build synergy is also something that elevates weapons and stratagems. Consideration of strengths and weaknesses will drastically increase your killing efficiency. I have seen people take meta builds and die hopelessly. Seen people toss 500kgs that did nothing or waste their orbital lasers when a grenade would have sufficed. You can keep your bias and call me wrong all you want I know Im right. I have been using the weapon for far longer than you have. I know it better than you do. So If I say it can do something then it can do it. It may not be the absolute best at it, but it can do it. So much is wasted in the pursuit of meta. People dont live their life by following a meta so why do we constrain our entertainment by such?

      @@SteveMorris-c2r just because you can use it and it will get the job done doesn’t mean it does the job great. It’s a weak gun. I’ve got like over 10000 hours in competitive shooters my aim is not the problem nor is my ability to target weak points. It’s great that at least you find some fun in it.

    @Green_Phos 4 หลายเดือนก่อน +3

    I used the blitzer exclusively for the past month and while it _is_ great, there are some issues... first up, hitting multiple enemies is inconsistent, whether it's aiming or hip firing. When dealing with multiple stalkers this can be an problem. Second, it's the only gun, that I know of, that makes stalkers go into their glitch jump mode where they turn invisible and keep jumping around but still stay right next to you. They're trying to do that long jump away retreat but that pathway occasionally glitches when the blitzer hits them. They will also no longer get stunned from hits (but also don't attack back) and seem to only take glancing damage. Since I'm often trying to fight off multiple other bugs at the same I typically I just run away and let the stalker "reset" itself. That said, sometimes I can 1 shot stalkers as long as I hit them at the exact right range. I've had a number of games where if I get a shot off right when they pop up behind me but just before they attack, they'll drop from 1 blast. Unfortunately I can't seem to regularly replicate this due to the blitzers variable shot pattern.

    Best stalker story i have is straight out of jurrasic park.
    Im running to my teammate who is in a maze of rocks when i see a couple of cloaked stalkers going for him. I dont make in time and hes killed so im out for revenge. Coming face to face with three of em i open fire with breaker, killing one while the other 2 jump away. I watch them try to flank me 100 yards around while a third comes at me again. It doesnt attack just stays cloaked 40 feet away and does a litte dance keeping my attention. Keeping my eye on the other 2 i think iv got em, but when i look to the right, SEVEN of the fackers ambush me simultaneously as the other 3 pounce in. Im spraying for a moment but fear grips me tight and i make a break for it tossing a cluster eagle at my feet. When i look back the cluster doesnt kill any but miraculously it topples a rock structure crushing one to death (didnt know that was possible) im still on the move blind fire auto pistol over my shoulder but eventually one takes a swipe at me. Im rag dolled but im up in a flash wipping nades like Frisbees taking out a couple more. I need to reload but the other 5 or 6 (not sure how many still on me) dont hesitate and rag doll me again. Just enough time to reload and kill another while his friends jump clear. Now im on the offensive and take out 2 or 3 more before they can close range. Just as i think im all clear i see one more cloaked coming for me. I unload a full magazine of breaker into him but my aim is off and he gets away. Now the hunter has become the hunted. Tracking it over a ridge line i see plumes of dust where it ran into spores, still its cloaked and moving fast. Over another ridge i lose sight but at the last second another plume of dust. I take carefull aim and empty my clip, by the gods this monster still wont go down! Running him sown the last 100 yards i come face to face and drill him down hard. Standing over its mutilated corps i salute to super earth and remember my gallen brothers.
    Revenge is mine.

    Ive noticed when using blitzer on stalkers if there invis it takes way more shots, i think the auto aim on it isnt going for the head when there invis. Also blitzer is amazing for stunning devestators. Combined with a long range weapon like amr or laser cannon its great combo for bots.

      The chaotic targeting is definitely a factor for TTK. I also believe stalkers in "retreat" mode have some form of invulnerability. I chose not not mention it as I've not been able to prove it out, but it seems to be the case.

    i find hunters to be more annoying. they are pretty common and getting slowed all the time is just BS in a game where stopping can easily get you killed. the problem with stalkers is people sleep on them like i'll mark a nest on the map and no one will attack it and then they complain how op they are when they get ganged up on. stalkers are TOP priority as soon as you see one you attack the nest then its over its not hard to understand but people also have this run from every fight thing going on so im often left to clean shit up. what i get for doing helldive with randos i guess

    Sir minor suggest on this video of yours. When you show what to look for on the map to find the nests. You need to remember NOT everybody has the same kind of vision as you do.
    I for example am a bit colorblind in the red spectrum thus making it very hard for me to see red colors against other dark background thus making red object to appear invisible to me. Sometimes if I look real hard I might make out the red arrow. But most of the time I never see it. So please consider in future videos to use better highlighted colors opposite of the background color like a glowing yellow and/or glowing orange.

    before i watch, dominator, and punisher, after watch, the dominator is absolutely s tier against stalker, because it can brute force three stalkers in one mag and a instant , it is your best weapon to not only defend yourself but also push forward to the nest. I would say it is a bit better than the pummeler, especially when under stress, and for the blitzer, it is great but taking too. Long to kill stalkers to push forward to the nest
