Stalkers

Stalkers are the next stage of infected after runners. They tend to ambush the player and stay hidden. Stalkers won't one-shot you like Clickers, would but they are a bit tougher to kill than regular runners, and will attempt to retreat after attacking. They are also hard to spot in Listen Mode.

Clickers

Clickers are completely blind, thus there is no need to worry about being spotted by sight. However, they have better hearing, meaning that you need to push the movment stick lightly or else a Clicker might hear you. Clickers are also tougher than runners, can't be meleed without being stunned, and can one-shot the player, making ranged attacks necessary.
