Using low level weapons is confirmed, the higher level maps however don't seem to be a big factor - he will still come after you in Mercury or Venus quite easily. Void missions seem to attract the stalker more than regular missions.

The number of players in a group, their rank and their weapon rank all seems to influence as well - if you are solo on a low rank character with at least one low rank weapon in the void, you stand the greatest chance in my experience.

He also seems to strike for boss victims from some time ago, so don't expect to get him the mission after a boss kill. A good strategy would be to kill any boss (except Vor) daily - Nef Anyo would be the easiest - and do a void mission daily.

If you are worried about being too low rank to kill him, simply ensure that you are on a box or similar raised platform where he cannot get to you directly so you can shoot him in peace. He will still return ranged fire but if your shields are good enough you should survive easily.

Make sure you have at least one decent weapon that will DPS him before he leaves.
