Destiny 2 Stasis weapons: Tier List & How to get them

When Beyond Light launched, the only Stasis weapons available to us were the Cryosthesia 77K and Salvation’s Grip, two lackluster Exotics that left us wanting more.

With Season of the Lost (S15), Bungie started to deliver on its promise to finally introduce Legendary Stasis weapons. And ever since, more Legendary Stasis weapons are added to the game each season. Some of them are actually quite strong too, arguably among the best weapons in Destiny 2.

In this guide, we cover every Stasis weapon currently available, including the Legendaries with their PVP and PVE god rolls and the Exotics.

Updated as of Season of Defiance (S20).

Best Destiny 2 Stasis weapons: Lightfall edition

The list below includes what we consider the top-tier Stasis weapons in the game, for both PvE and PvP. By only including S Tier weapons, you can rest assured these are the most lethal guns out there:

As a reminder, these are the different Tier levels used for our rankings:

• S Tier – Best: Highest ranking weapon types.
• A Tier – Strong: Very strong weapon types, but not on the same level as S Tier Choices.
• B Tier – Average: Decent choices that can be lethal in the hands of a skilled player.
• C Tier – Weak: The middle of the pack, somewhat mediocre.
• D Tier – Worst: Lagging behind the competition, these don’t have much to offer.

Stasis weapon perks: Are they good enough?

Destiny has been around for a long time. The original was released 7 years ago! In all those years, many weapon perks have come and gone. In fact, these past few seasons, Bungie has really stepped it up in terms of introducing new perks that are equally creative and lethal.

But is that the case with the new Stasis perks? As of Season of the Risen (S16), three Stasis perks exist:

• Headstone: Precision final blows spawn a Stasis crystal at the victim’s location.
• Cold Steel: Powered Sword hits slow targets.
• Chill Clip: Direct hits with the top half of the magazine cause a detonation that slows nearby targets.

All three perks certainly look interesting but are they good enough to compete with the best weapons perks in the game?

At first glance, at least Headstone does, as it enables you to create more Stasis crystals, which, when using a Stasis subclass, can be extremely useful. Look at this perk, not as a standalone top-tier perk (such as One for All), but as a perk that is only strong if you make it a part of a Stasis build.

By now, you know everything there is to know about Stasis weapons in Destiny 2: What makes them special, how to recognize them, and which ones are the best. This will hopefully help you get one step closer to the perfect loadout, combining top-tier armor, mods and weapons. What is your favorite Strand weapon so far?
