About the Stalker:
The Stalker is a Legendary Weapon in Borderlands 3. This Dahl Sniper has a high cryo efficiency and applies good damage, however, that damage comes at the cost of bullet consumption. The Stalker consumes 2 ammo per shot and has a 3-round burst, so each time you pull the trigger you use up 6 ammo. The gimmick of the Stalker is that you can switch between horizontal and verticle burst. So you can choose to go for a horizontal line and hit moving targets with more ease, but some bullets might miss. Or you can choose to go for a verticle line and hit multiple body parts of your opponent, however, if your target moves to the side you will miss more easily. So you got a bit of a ‘damage vs hit chance’ going on.
