Skulker in ARC Raiders
Small and elusive, the Skulker favors patience and positioning over aggression. It lies in wait, strikes with its tail-mounted weaponry, then glides rapidly away to keep distance from pursuing Raiders. It has adapted to low-visibility conditions — blizzards, hurricanes, electromagnetic storms, sandstorms — and is most often met during those weather conditions, around Turbines, and under the ARC Frigate.
Skulker weak points
Lightly armored; the body and the tail weapon mount both take damage. The danger is losing track of it, not out-damaging it.
How to kill the Skulker
Expect it in bad weather and in the Frigate's shadow. Do not chase — it is faster than you and wants to pull you into the open. Hold a corner, let it commit to a strike, then kill it as it disengages; any accurate light-ammo weapon (Stiletto, Kettle, Rattler) is enough.
