With the Season of the Lost, Bungie has introduced quite a few Stasis weapons. However, before the Season of the Lost, there were only two Stasis weapons, and they both were locked behind the Stasis subclass. Since the Season of the Lost, we have seen many Stasis weapons to completely change the weapon meta. While some perform better than others, any of these can be good with the proper mods and perks.

Since there are many options, it can be difficult for beginners to decide which Stasis weapon is suitable for their loadout and which one is the best in the current meta. But, don’t worry, we’ll showcase some of the best stasis weapons ordered from worst to best. Hopefully, this list will make it easier for you to decide which stasis weapon is the most suitable.
