A compact gray Skulker machine appears against cream and orange panels above a dark title band.

Skulker Targeters come from destroying Skulkers, a new ARC threat added in the now-live Frozen Trail 2.0 update. The Uncommon item deploys a turret that attacks nearby ARC and Raiders, giving you an extra source of fire during a raid.

The turret deals 9 damage and has a range of 25 meters. It is better suited to defensive support than heavy damage, so place it where it can cover an approach or keep pressure on nearby threats.

How to fight a Skulker

Skulkers can ambush from range and retreat, which makes it easy to lose track of them during a fight. They glide close to the ground and shrink as they move, but their ranged attacks and quick retreats give you another reason to keep watching your surroundings.

There is no notable direct weak point to focus on for extra damage. Instead, target the thrusters to impede the Skulker’s movement. When it takes aim, shoot its scorpion-like rifle to reduce its ability to fire back. Follow up with enough damage to finish it off and earn the Targeter.
