System Shock 2 Hints
Stasis Field Generator
Unlike the other two heavy weapons, this one must be used at close range, and you may need a little practice before you can discover how close you need to be. It won't do any damage, but you can use it to immobilize an opponent long enough to kill it with another weapon. If all you have are heavy weapons, you can always immobilize your opponent and then step back far enough that you can use a grenade or fusion cannon safely.
Be careful, though, because the field generator is a big weapon and it blocks a good portion of the screen. I would recommend that you only take the weapon out when you're ready to use it. Also note its hefty repair requirement -- this is one weapon you will want to maintain well. Alternatively, make sure that you have a few auto-repair units around.
