In Dead Space Remake (Dead Space 2023), players get to acquire a Prototype Stasis Module as a reward for completing one of the side quests. As you pick it up, you get no explanation about what it does and the game leaves it up to you to deduce its effects. Get to know what the Prototype Stasis Module does, how to get it, and more using this guide.
This guide is related to the Premeditated Malpractice side quest. Check out the guide the side quest here.
When using Stasis after you acquire the Prototype Stasis Module, you’ll notice that enemies are slower and are rooted in place. Unlike the base Stasis where in enemies can still move a bit, the upgraded version allows extra room to reposition yourself or to better escape hairy encounters.
Enemies affected with the upgraded stasis get damage over time. You can observe this as enemies have require far less damage to down after being afflicted by stasis.
The good thing with the upgrade is that although it does not inform you about its effects, it still uses the stasis upgrades that you have for your suit. This includes duration of the stasis and area of effect. So if you do want to take full advantage of this neat upgrade, best concentrate on unlocking upgrade nodes for stasis.

To get the Prototype Stasis Module, you must see through the “Premeditated Malpractice” side quest. This quest involves you going around the Ishimura to find out who or what made the “immortal” Hunter Necromorph. You can finish this quest once you reach Chapter 10 of the game.
