The Stalk mod allows the Huras Kubrow to cloak itself and its master when hostile entities are within range, rendering themselves invisible to enemies.
This mod is unique to the Huras Kubrow, and will be given to players upon incubation of a Huras Kubrow.

Notes[]
- Has an ~8 second cooldown after leaving any kind of stealth state, including
Smoke Screen, Invisibility, Prowl and Arcane Trickery. - Lasts indefinitely until broken by attacking, by not having an enemy within the detection range or by being inactive for 1 minute.
- The cloak will break when using a weapon but not when using a Warframe ability.
- Similar to Ghost, the effect of Stalk cloaks the Kubrow and its master, rendering them invisible to enemies.
- The visual effect is identical. The Kubrow will make a howl animation when activating it.
- Cannot activate when Huras Kubrow is parkouring in air, as howling animation can't play
- As with other cloaking abilities, enemies will be alerted by physical contact or noise made by the player such as firing a weapon.
- The Kubrow itself will not engage enemies during Stalk. However, if it is already aggressive when Stalk activates, it can continue to attack without breaking cloak.
- The activation range of Stalk is centered on the player and not the Huras Kubrow, however the Kubrow has to be within a certain distance to the player in order to activate the cloak.
- Activation does not require line of sight from player or Huras Kubrow.
- The visual effect is identical. The Kubrow will make a howl animation when activating it.
- Scanning an enemy will not break cloak but it will make the Kubrow attack the target, making this skill unsuitable for full stealth scan runs.
- Abilities that break the invisibility:
- All Exalted Weapons upon attacking (just activation is fine)
- Ash's Fatal Teleport or casting Teleport to join Blade Storm
- Hydroid's Undertow upon deactivation
- Ivara's Quiver when using with Artemis Bow's alt fire
- Nyx's Absorb
- Sevagoth's Exalted Shadow upon Reunite (Sevagoth will still be invisible while Exalted Shadow is active)
- Titania's Razorwing upon activation
- Abilities that will not break the invisibility, even when they should be considered as attacking:
- Other ability interaction
- Activating other forms of invisibility, while Stalk is active, will not break the effect of Stalk after the other effect ends, provided there is still an enemy in proximity and no weapon/ability that would break the effect was used.
- Casting Equinox's Duality will not break the effect, but the opposite form will not be affected by Stalk.
- On Transference out, Excalibur Umbra will become visible, resume his sentience and attack nearby enemeies. On Tranference in, Umbra will immediately become invisible again.
- Mirror images from Mirage's Hall of Mirrors will become completely invisible under the effect of Stalk.
- Casting Wukong's Celestial Twin will not break the effect, but the twin will not be affected by Stalk.
- Casting Nekros's Shadows of the Dead will not break the effect, but shadows will not be affected by Stalk.
- If Stalk is activated before or while the Warframe is downed, but the Huras Kubrow is not, the Warframe will be immediately cloaked when revived by Unairu's Last Gasp.
Tips[]
- Warframes can become invisible and continue to kill enemies with abilities, without breaking the effect, provided there is at least one enemy within range, and don't attack with weapons.
Bugs[]
- There have been multiple reported instances of the Huras Stalk ability sometimes making the player warframe completely disappear mid mission.
- This only affects the player, as allies and enemies will still be able to see the player while he is in this state, and the hitbox or movement mechanics appear to be unchanged.
- The only way to get back a material form is ending the mission and returning to the orbiter.
- During the Defense mission in the Howl of the Kubrow questline for the Nai Zhen Collar, the effect of Stalk does not dissipate while attacking.
- This may possibly be caused by the Kubrow not precisely occupying the player's Companion slot.
- When using continuous beam weapons such as the Quanta, the player may be affected by the Stalk effect without dissipation if the ability is used while continually firing; effectively making the player able to deal damage while cloaked.
