I hadn’t heard about the new stalker beetle! I’m interested to see what it’s like; I saw a comment on the YouTube video where someone suggested a beetle that leaves a poison cloud, that sounds like it could be fun!
I do think the stalker beetle has helped with camping though, I’ve been able to use it a few times to make a push getting good intel to/from my team about what doors were trapped and where the shotgunners are hiding in the building.
I’ve also used the stalker beetle defensively before, which I wasn’t expecting to be able to do! My team was hiding at the wagon extract, pretty beat up from several fights before hand, and yet another team came running down the road at us. I toss my beetle while my teammates shot at him, flew over to him, and popped the beetle; he was then poisoned, bleeding, hurt, and we all had great line of slight and took him down without anyone dying 😊
