Overview[]
The Stalker Missile family has one major theme: move fast! Stalker missiles do roughly half as much damage per missile as their Javelin series counterparts, but are far more likely to find the target with their speed and turning ability. Also, all Stalker family missiles have a refire rate of 1, or one shot per second - twice as fast as a Javelin series, essentially giving them the same damage per second. However, all Stalker series ammo is more expensive than the equivalent Javelin series ammo and runs out twice as quickly.
