How to Get Stalker in Merge a Nuke
Published
- TL;DR: Stalker appears in Hoplas2’s July 4, 2026 video as a high-HP map commander (~200,000 HP) next to Overclocker.
- TL;DR: He chips it with nukes, sinks Overclocker first, then last-hits and claims Stalker.
- TL;DR: He reads the ability: about every 2 minutes buffs a random plot commander 1.5× for 60 seconds; retaliation warhead lasts 20 seconds and cuts cash / nuke damage by 56%.
- TL;DR: This transcript never says “Military Compound.” Patch notes elsewhere list that LTM path — keep it separate from the video steps.
If you searched “how to get Stalker Merge a Nuke,” this page answers from one captioned gameplay source: Hoplas2’s July 4, 2026 update video. Capture steps and ability numbers below appear in that transcript. If the video does not say it, this page does not invent it.
What this guide will not claim
The usable captions do not name Military Compound, a ~2-hour timer, or a drop percentage for Stalker. Patch-log LTM notes on the Stalker commander page are a different evidence lane. Do not treat this blog as proof of those farm labels.
How he gets Stalker in the video
The path shown is a contested map commander sink on a public-style grind after the July 4 content lands — he spots Overclocker and Stalker together and commits nuke pressure until ownership.
- He calls out a Stalker commander at about 200,000 HP.
- He notes Overclocker and Stalker are both up and decides to farm them.
- He starts chipping Stalker with mid-tier nukes, then prioritizes sinking Overclocker first (Epic before Legendary).
- After Overclocker, he keeps dumping nukes into Stalker (he narrates remaining damage windows) until the final hit.
- He claims Stalker on camera and then reads the ability card.
Also hunting Overclocker?
The same July 4 session sinks Overclocker before Stalker. For a dedicated Overclocker how-to from a different captioned run (Kream July 11), use the Overclocker blog.
Open How to get OverclockerStep-by-step checklist (video only)
- Watch for high-HP Legendary map commander spawns after July 4–era content is live.
- Bring enough nuke DPS to chip a ~200k HP target while other players contest the lobby.
- If Overclocker is up in the same fight, decide order deliberately — Hoplas2 takes the Epic first, then finishes Stalker.
- Claim ownership after the last hit, equip, and re-read the card numbers in Inventory.
- Treat Military Compound / LTM timers as patch-note paths until a captioned video names them.
Ability text actually read on camera
- About every 2 minutes: buffs a random commander on your plot to 1.5× for 60 seconds.
- Retaliation: warhead against attackers that lasts 20 seconds.
- That warhead cuts their cash by 56% and slowly damages their nukes by 56% (as read in this video).
- He labels Stalker Legendary and calls the kit strong for offensive combinations.
Numbers may scale
This wiki still treats exact cash-cut / nuke-damage percentages as pending a leveled card screenshot. Quote the 56% figures as one video read, not a frozen universal max card.
