This guide gives weapons, exotics, and armor mods for a Destiny 2 Stasis Hunter PvE Build, intended for all levels of PvE players!
We are currently updating this build for Season of the Wish. Check back soon with more details about the changes made to this build.
Why Should You Play PvE Stasis Hunter?
PvE Stasis Hunter can be incredibly strong in the right hands, the ability to slow and freeze enemies cannot be understated in difficult content. From our grenades to melees, to super the enemies will be extremely hard-pressed to even get a chance to fire their weapons.
| Pros | Cons |
|---|---|
| Fantastic add control | Low amounts of overall damage |
| Solid survivability | Subclass specific exotics are weak |
| Restrict enemies movement | Lengthy process to unlock the whole subclass |
Stasis Hunter PvE Playstyle
The playstyle of Stasis Hunter in PvE is one of dishing out slows and freezes keeping the enemies pinned in place until you are ready to take them out. No longer do you have to move in and out of fighting, you have control over if the enemies get to deal any damage.
Abilities
Some abilities, aspects and fragments need to be unlocked before use. In order to do that, Destiny 2 players need to visit Ikora in the Tower and do the related quest or purchase them from her. Lastly, if you bought new aspects and fragments don’t forget to “meditate”. Simply click the “meditate” option on the table next to Ikora.

Triple Jump – The most common jump for a PVE hunter due to its easy of use and strong control. It also allows hunters to generally go higher and further with their jumps
