Learn how to effectively counter Stalkers in The Last of Us Part I. This guide covers their updated AI, combat behaviors, and strategies for survival.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Stalkers in The Last of Us Part I have been updated to behave more like their counterparts in Part II.
  2. 2
    Unlike in the original game where they acted similarly to Runners, these Stalkers will actively hide after engaging the player.
  3. 3
    This change means players need to be more vigilant and prepared for ambushes, as Stalkers may disengage and reposition to attack from unexpected angles.
Tips
  • Listen carefully for their movements, as they can be stealthy.
  • Use environmental awareness to predict where they might hide.
  • Consider using weapons or items that can flush them out or deal area-of-effect damage.
  • Be prepared for them to re-engage after a brief period of hiding.
