An easy way to render the bloodstalker completely harmless is to tether it before it tethers you. (by tether I mean to shoot it with a grappling hook) anchoring a bloodstalker with it makes it drop from its hunting spot and stop moving or using its web tethers. Similar to the bola, IT WILL STILL ATTACK if you're close enough, I found this out the hard way when I tried to tame one the old fashioned way 😅 also, this was on a solo game so I'm not sure if it works differently on official servers or not, and I'm 99% sure it's a bug, but here it is 2022 and sarcos still only lunge eastward on Xbox.
