 So out of the bloody harvest event, we have some new decent legendos. Today we take a look at the stalker, the new Sniper. Now I've seen many people compare this to the Liudah. I mean I wasn't sure about that so I've decided to compare them. How's it going guys? My name's DPGene, I'd like to thank you for stopping by and checking out my video.

So the Bloody Harvest has for sure given us a great event full of all kinds of epic new loot. But only a few said pieces of loot are exclusive to this event. Today I want to answer the question some of you may have. Is the stalker, this new sniper exclusive to the Bloody Harvest event worth the grind in getting? Hopefully today I can answer that by comparing it to a weapon many people said was the most OP in the game. It has since been nerfed but the lairuda still 100% holds its own. And not many weapons in the game still are capable of what this thing can do. Now before we check out these things and what they are capable of, go enough side by side comparisons and I know stats do vary but my lairuda is one of the best I've seen so it's good to compare this to it. Now initially and I'll be real with you guys, I actually don't understand how people can compare these. I mean I think it's because of the big magazine sizes they both have, their fast fire rates and we're looking at them side by side here. They do kind of match up and well you could kind of put them in the same category. Now after testing I will straight up say these are two completely different weapons but could the stalker be the weapon you bank your lairuda for? Well let's get into the nitty gritty. Firstly the stalker is by far the more accurate sniper firing it in a 3 round burst. Each shot of my variant consumes two bullets so the 3 round burst consumes six bullets. They can switch the sights as well between a 2.2 times and a 5 times. The 2.2 times makes this thing feel like an assault rifle. Now although this has a faster fire rate than the lairuda, the pause between each burst means the lairuda will easily empty its clip in a faster time if they're both at the same magazine size. So what about the actual damage output? Can this stand tall to tall the lairuda? Well to test it I went to Grave Ward. Now I needed a place to test this rate was equal for both weapons so to save myself time I went from Mayhem 1, same boss, same instance and guys they ain't even comparable. The lairuda because of that extra burn damage is on a whole other level definitely of power output than the stalker. I didn't even have to kill Grave Ward to see this my first few shots with this thing I absolutely knew. The lairuda is a whole different animal in terms of damage output so for everybody out there saying this thing is the new lairuda delete your posts remove your comments these things don't even compare. So the outcome this isn't as powerful as the lairuda and guys in my opinion it was never going to be that in my opinion isn't the point of the sniper. What this sniper does is bring variety to snipers in this game we don't need another lairuda and what we have here is something unique within itself this isn't the most powerful note but it is great in many other ways the cryo efficiency for 1, 193% like damn and this thing freezes literally everything possible to pass the most things I've ever used. Now what this weapon is it's perfect for those subs of your builds mainly for zane it's perfect for seeing back who's in enemies it's perfect for taking out targets at afar with precision that's what this sniper is all about I mean if that's for your playstyle and this is something you feel would fit your build I would 100% recommend you farm for this thing you can get it from loot goals or haunt and heck will it personally be a sniper I use on a regular basis even though I'm main zane no that doesn't mean it's a bed weapon though whatsoever my honest opinion is what it's good for and what it should be used for it's a great sniper but it doesn't have the ammo to support really what it's made for I mean it runs out of ammo way too quick yes it freezes shit but there are many weapons in the game that are more suited for what this weapon is supposed to be so the stalker is a low impact fast firing very accurate precision three round burst sniper with a high cryo efficiency capable of taking out targets or freezing them at a distance but it runs out of ammo way too quick and all that remains is an icy husk so yeah guys would I recommend you farm in this weapon without all depends if you're a collector and you want every legendary then yes if you see this weapon from this video and think it could fit a build you have in mind or you have a build already set up then yes is a weapon that will replace any high power sniper in reality what snipers are for no it won't so you make your own mind up guys me personally I'm just going to vault this weapon and probably never use it again because like I said I have all kinds of different cryo weapons which ain't snipers but are better than what this thing does at what it was made for and on that note we have come to the end of the video just me being real with you guys and I hope you appreciate that if you do leave a like really helps out but on that note we are out thanks as always for stopping by hopefully you enjoyed video and hopefully I will see you on that next one
