Destiny 2 Stasis Weapons: Exotics & Tier List

When Beyond Light launched, the only Stasis weapons available were Cryosthesia 77K and Salvation’s Grip, two lackluster Exotics. But ever since, each new Season/Episode comes with several new Stasis weapons. Some of them are quite strong, too, arguably among the best weapons in D2. This guide covers all the available Stasis weapons, including Legendaries and Exotics.

Updated as of The Edge of Fate. See Updates.

Best Stasis Weapons (Edge of Fate)

These are the best Exotic and Legendary Statsis weapons right now (those we consider A-Tier or better):

Item	Weapon	Type	Archetype	Ammo?	Element?	Requirements	Rank	Source	Tier Rank	Source ❘ DLC	Verdict	Released	Perks	Best of?
Conditional Finality	Conditional Finality Shotgun	Shotgun	Exotic	Special	Stasis	Lightfall	S › Best	Root of Nightmares Raid	❘ S Excels in: PvE + PvP	Root of Nightmares Raid Lightfall	Slot: Stasis | Ammo: Special | Archetype: Exotic Exotic Perk: "Dual barrels split into Stasis and Solar damage. Landing nearly all Stasis pellets will freeze targets; landing nearly all Solar pellets will ignite targets." ► Conditional Finality might not be as 'must-have' as it was when it launched, but it remains an incredibly potent option in both PvE and PvP. Being able to waste majors in PvE and Supers in PvP, Conditional is still arguably the best Shotgun in the game.	Season 20	Slot: Stasis | Ammo: Special | Archetype: Exotic Exotic Perk: "Dual barrels split into Stasis and Solar damage. Landing nearly all Stasis pellets will freeze targets; landing nearly all Solar pellets will ignite targets."	Top-tier

Not only can it roll with Rewind Rounds and Triple Tap, but it’s the first sniper to roll with Chill Clip. Being able to apply Slow or Freeze from a great distance will always come in handy as the difficulty rises.

Ulterior Observation	Ulterior Observation Machine Gun	Machine Gun	Aggressive	Heavy	Stasis	Free-to-Play	S › Best	Kepler	❘ S Excels in: PvE + PvP	Kepler Free-to-Play	Slot: Stasis | Ammo: Heavy | Archetype: Aggressive PvE God Roll: Subsistence or Demolitionist (also good: Headstone) + Killing Tally or Dragonfly (also good: Rimestealer) PvP God Roll: Moving Target + Dynamic Sway Reduction or Closing Time ► Ulterior Observation is VERY solid. Featuring the Stasis Headstone/Rimestealer combo, or the utility/splash damage Demolitionist/Dragonfly combo, Ulterior Observation is incredibly flexible and can suit all sorts of builds.

Riptide currently dominates the PvE meta, and TTK changes to Rapid-Fire fusions mean this could be a welcome addition to a PvP loadout.	Renegades	Slot: Stasis | Ammo: Special | Archetype: Rapid-Fire PvE God Roll: Auto-Loading Holster or Overflow (also good: Subsistence) + Chill Clip or Controlled Burst (also good: Crystalline Corpsebloom) PvP God Roll: Under Pressure + Closing Time	Top-tier

Not only does it deal with all champion types, but being craftable means that you are essentially guaranteed to get a god roll. It's also one of two fusions to roll with Demolitionist, perfect for Osmiomancy builds!

If you’re still in need of a strong rocket launcher, farming this one while it’s around is a good choice.

Effective at champion stunning or room clearing, this is as good as it gets.

Of course, glaives are still yet to see a season where they're meta, but giving this one a try isn't a bad idea.

On top of that, as a Stasis weapon, it features the coveted Chill Clip perk. Also, it is the only Rocket Sidearm with the Air Trigger perk, which grants a Reload Speed buff while airborne and a free Reserve mod. Overall, it is best to ignore this weapon for PvP.

VS Chill Inhibitor rolls with a devestating combo of Envious Arsenal and Bait and Switch, both of which activate off of the same conditions, and makes for a solid DPS weapon.

While Reconstruction is slower than ALH, it allows for a better uptime of Chill Clip, and the Viest Stinger origin trait will help it even further, especially if you use it for DPS alongside Controlled Burst.

Unique as the only Heat-based Sniper Rifle, this makes Conspiracy Honed a hot new weapon with god rolls worth chasing down.

Generally speaking, if you are using a Primary weapon in the Energy slot and you don't fancy a Slug Shotgun, you are going to be using Deadlock. It is a staple of the Kinetic slot for Shotguns, and rightfully deserves a spot at the top.

Sure, better options are always being released (Critical Anomaly comes to mind), but this weapon still holds its own if you have a solid roll.

It's the first Special Stasis Grenade Launcher, and it comes with one of the newer Stasis perks, Chill Clip. However, despite the potential nuance that Chill Clip may bring, Lingering Dread doesn't shake up the meta. It is merely another 'pretty good' option.

Desperado was recently nerfed and is now significantly less potent, but it's still crazy fun in both PvE and PvP. Plus, New Purpose's Stasis element and Headstone can also play an integral part in a PvE Stasis build.
