For some time, there has been some talk to implement stasis weapons in DUST 514. Just like EVE's stasis webbefires
Most of the ideas involve making use of grenades to create a stasis field that slows down any vehicle that gets cought in it. However that idea can be made a little better. And less overpowerd because everyone can trow grenades and then shoot anything down it hits...
My idea is a special launcher that can fire a shell that creates a stasis field when it hits the ground, slowing down anything that gets cought in it including dropsuits and yourself if you are to close. Obviosly this weapon can only be worn as a heavy.
Stasis lasts for about 4 seconds.
This makes the "web shooter" a weapon that is most effective with teamplay support, because the heavy has to give up its heavy weapon slot to use the launcher.
Stasis field launcher has a spool up time similar to forge guns.
Variations include may include:
Variation 1: Stronger stasis (more slowdown), shorter time effect
Variation 2: Longer effect, weaker stasis
Variation 3: Longer range, weaker stasis
Etc.

Putting it on the heavy only is a no go for me in eve your interdictors are usually frigates thatxhave a direct target web or are cruiser hull rhat launches giant orbs of stoppy death.
Maybe give the heavy a launcher that does what you say but a smaller version for others like a scout suit with direct web ie equipment slot item similsr to the repper that needs a lock. While the heavy launchs larger immibile domes of death. |

It would make sense for this to be a scout/stealth weapon to freeze up enemy mobilization in prepartion of the main squads attack...you'd want someone with a very low profile... |

How about a slight modification that makes the weapon function like the repair gun, meaning it would be continuous fire and require a short lock time to engage the webifier.
This would make it more balanced - requiring the user to maintain Los.
Also, this would make it usable on dropships as well as anything on the ground. |

Oh my god, the perfect ground crew tool.
A dropship needs to come in for a hot landing and it can't slow down fast enough. A friendly whips out this slow gun and arrests the fall, allowing the dropship to land safely.
IMPLEMENT IT PLEASE |
