If Pragmata has a "best tactical weapon," most players would put the Stasis Net first. Nothing in the game wants to be frozen, and nothing in your loadout doesn't benefit from freezing things.
Overview
The Stasis Net is in Sector 1 · Solar Power Plant — 02 Power Distribution Center. Ride the elevator up, drop down toward the red-ring hack spot, and pick it up off the floor. It's usually the second tactical slot a player fills after the Shockwave Blaster.
How it Works
- Fire mode — Lobbed stasis projectile; creates a freeze field on impact.
- Range — Mid. Arcs through the air, so bank it around cover when you need to.
- OPEN interaction — Frozen enemies stay put during your hack — you get the full OPEN window without an interruption.
Strengths
- Sets up every other weapon in your loadout
- Crucial for uninterrupted grid hacking
- Works on almost every non-boss enemy archetype
Weaknesses
- Doesn't do meaningful damage — it's a setup tool only
- Limited charges; you can't freeze every encounter
- Some bosses resist or break out of the field early
When to use / pair with
- Best in: rooms with multiple bots, phases where a hack is more valuable than raw damage.
- Pair with: Charge Piercer or Photon Laser to punish frozen targets, or Hacking Mines if you want to double up tactical slots for defensive hack routes.
Upgrade Notes
Charge count > field duration. You want to be able to drop a net every fight, not a longer net every third fight.
