Stasis Boomers (also known as Howlers) are a variant of the Taken Boomer that allows wielders to use the power of Stasis.

Overview

Stasis Boomers look similar to Taken Boomers, but their corrupted starfire cores have seemingly been replaced with Stasis cores, causing the weapons to grow frozen spikes along its barrel's length. Stasis Boomers are rare weapons, usually found in the hands of high ranking Taken Acolytes and Taken Knights. Overload Taken Hobgoblins can also wield the weapon.

The Stasis Boomer has a slow rate of fire, damage and travel time, but its strength lies in its crowd control capabilities. A Stasis Boomer's projectile leaves a slowing field on its impact point, which can severely hamper a Guardian's movement capabilities. Those foolish enough to remain in the field will find themselves quickly frozen, and are at the mercy of the additional abilities of the wielder, as well as any of its allies' weapons.

Trivia

• In later updates, the Stasis Boomer would be renamed to Howler.
