How to eliminate the Electric Poltergeist in Stalker 2

As with previous games in the franchise, Stalker 2 features Poltergeists as enemies. Spooky as they may be, they can also be quite deadly and cause lots of health damage if not dealt with and eliminated in time. One such enemy is the Electric Poltergeist, and it can be rather annoying at first glance though it is possible to take them down by timing attacks appropriately.

Below are some steps to take down the Electric Poltergeist in the game. This enemy can be encountered rather early and can pose a challenge if not dealt with appropriately.

The Electric Poltergeist, when encountered, will create a noise akin to screeching or shouting and will often launch and hold rubble in the air to mark its location. It will hover in an area, so use a shotgun to take it down at close range. However, don't be too close as it can pass through the protagonist, causing substantial damage.

It can also throw rubble and bricks toward players. Use weapons like Assault rifles or SMGs to deal damage from a distance and reduce its health. Dodge and refrain from staying in one place when it is near to avoid damage from its attacks or movements.

Stalker 2 is currently only available on PC and Xbox Series X and S

The acclaimed Stalker series has only returned to Microsoft's popular console family of the Xbox Series X and S along with being released on Steam. While previous games were also initially released solely for the PC platform, they made their way onto consoles later. The game isn't available on the PlayStation 5 or Nintendo Switch.

Additionally, it is not playable or available on previous-generation consoles. This means Xbox One players cannot play the game.
