Exotic Perk: “Final blows with this weapon generate a slowing burst around the defeated target. Stasis final blows transfer ammo to this weapon’s magazine from reserves.”

► Ager’s Scepter is exactly what you would have expected from a proper Stasis trace rifle. Its ability to freeze and slow at will is remarkable, but on top of that, it has best-in-class stats and a top-tier catalyst. You won’t find another weapon able to quickly dispose of ads while creating great synergies with a Stasis subclass.

► Rockets are S-tier options for boss damage, and Palmyra-B is the best of the bunch. Auto-Loading Holster allows you to use special weapons while Palmyra is reloading, and its damage perks boost this weapon further above its competition. Plus, intrinsic tracking makes Palmyra a great pick for both PVE and PVP. After all, you’ll want all the help you can get to hit those shots.

PvE God Roll: Subsistence + Headstone

► With good base stats that match those of the fan-favorite High Albedo, Peacebond also happens to offer several top-tier perks for both PVE and PVP. Peacebond was one of the few weapons to offer Headstone and that made it very special. That isn’t any longer the case, as many other weapons can roll with Headstone these days. Still, Peacebond remains a solid sidearm.

► With best-in-class base stats, superior to my previous favorite legendary, Threaded Needle, Reed’s Regret is the best legendary Linear Fusion in the game. It also offers an excellent PVE perk combination that no other Linear Fusion can offer: Triple Tap with Firing Line.

► A very well-rounded weapon, Thoughtless has something for everyone. With Snapshot Sights and multiple different handling perks for PVP, or Overflow / Firing Line for PVE, this Sniper Rifle can be viable everywhere. That said, most people still prefer snipers that can specialize in either PVP or PVE.

PvE/PvP God Roll: Auto-Loading Holster (also good: Ambitious Assassin) + Chill Clip

► Lingering Dread is the first of its kind. 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.

► Mimicking Valakadyn from Year 1, Krait has immediately become a fan favorite among players in the community. With some good PVE-oriented perks and the Veist Stinger Origin Trait, you can’t go wrong with this 720RPM Auto Rifle. However, there are numerous other options, like Chroma Rush, that sadly outclass Krait in most scenarios.

► Recurrent Impact edges slightly higher than its Rapid-Fire competition as it comes with the origin trait ‘Land Tank’ which makes you tankier with each kill. This, along with Subsistence can make you an ad clearing, tanky teammate that can mow through enemies.

Exotic Perk: “Press and release to fire individual shots. Hold to fire a Charged Shot when Liquid Cooling is active. Final blows with this weapon enable a Charged Shot for a short duration. Targets hit by this shot are instantly frozen.”

► Cryosthesia 77K has been through a lot. It was originally released in a sorry state, but it recently received several buffs that help it stand on its own. While it will serve you best in PVE as part of a carefully selected Stasis built, it can hold its own in the hands of an experienced sidearm user in PVP.

► Even though Typhon GL5 has some great perks like Explosive Light, it doesn’t excel in any part of the game simply because it’s a heavy Grenade Launcher. Until these become stronger options for either ad clear or DPS, this weapon will sadly be forgotten by most of the community.

► Releasing with the first round of Stasis Legendary Weapons in Season 15, Vulpecula was originally loved because it was the only Stasis Hand Cannon in the game. However, with the addition of Eyasluna, there isn’t a place for this 180 RPM hand cannon anymore.

► While Perses-D can roll with some of the best PVE scout rifle perks, it falls into an archetype that is extremely lacking, making other weapons (such as Night Watch and Hung Jury SR4) better picks overall.

► Being the first Stasis SMG, you’d expect Forensic Nightmare to excel in some way–sadly, this isn’t the case. With only an average range stat and no range-boosting perks, this weapon falls flat in PVP. Plus, it’s missing top-tier perks for PVE, making it a very weak pick.

► Salvation’s Grip hasn’t evolved with the rest of the game. Previously, it was the only Stasis weapon in the game; however, simple perks like Headstone can replicate Salvation’s Grip’s effect without the cost of your Exotic or Heavy slot. It’s best to stay away from Salvation’s Grip until it receives a rework or strong catalyst.
