A '''Stasis grenade''' is a unusual weapon that uses the [[stasis field]] effect.
Developed by the [[Adeptus Mechanicus]], stasis grenades are extremely rare and expensive to acquire. Rather Since they are rather bulky and delicate, it is not possible to fire stasis grenades from a [[Grenade Launchers|launcher]]. Instead, and they are typically deployed in a manner similar to that of [[melta bombs]]. As their power source is rather small, the stasis field caused by an activated stasis grenades grenade does not normally last for a long time (although there is a slim chance of the stasis field becoming a self-replicating loop), though the duration is normally long enough to cause a significant amount of battlefield disruption.
Stasis grenades were available during the [[Warhammer 40,000: Rogue Trader|1st edition]] of Warhammer 40,000. They are not a current wargear option.
