Conditional Finality — Two Barrels, Two Verbs (Hunter)
Weapon: Conditional Finality (Shotgun · Special · Stasis + Solar) · Subclass: Revenant (Stasis) · Role: Freeze-and-shatter special DPS + Unstoppable stun + self-sustain engine Sandbox: 9.7.0 · Created 2026-06-16
One pull, two barrels: the Stasis barrel freezes, the Solar barrel ignites. On Stasis Hunter that freeze isn't crowd control you walk away from — it's the trigger for every shatter source, every Frost Armor stack, and the catalyst's Heal Clip + Rimestealer loop. Mask of Bakris stacks a flat damage bonus straight onto the Stasis half, so the gun that crowd-controls is also the gun that does the damage. Freeze, shatter, heal, repeat — and it's intrinsically Unstoppable.
The weapon
Split Decision (verbatim, manifest): "Dual barrels split into Stasis and Solar damage. Strong against [Stagger] Unstoppable Champions."
Catalyst (verbatim, manifest): "Heal Clip: Reloading shortly after dealing a final blow grants Cure to you and your nearby allies. / Rimestealer: Destroying a Stasis crystal or defeating a frozen target with this weapon grants you Frost Armor."
In practice the two barrels fire together: the Stasis pellets freeze the target and the Solar pellets ignite it. A point-blank shot freezes a major outright, and the follow-up shatters it — frozen targets take the Solar ignition and the Stasis shatter burst on the same trigger. The catalyst turns that into sustain: killing the frozen target (or its crystal) hands you Frost Armor (Rimestealer), and a quick reload off any final blow Cures you and nearby allies (Heal Clip). Special ammo, so it sits in the energy slot; the freeze is the build's keystone, not a side effect.
Loadout
| Slot | Pick | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Subclass | Revenant (Stasis Hunter) | Native freeze/shatter/Frost Armor — the only subclass that pays off both barrels and the catalyst. |
| Super |  Silence and Squall | Twin Stasis tornado/grave: freezes packs you then delete with the gun; on-element for surge/Bakris. |
| Class ability |  Marksman's Dodge | Reloads CF on demand (re-arms Heal Clip mid-fight) and triggers Winter's Shroud slow. |
| Melee | Withering Blade (shuriken) | Ranged Stasis melee — applies slow → freeze stacks, primes targets the gun finishes. |
| Grenade |  Duskfield Grenade | Slow well → freeze; the freeze source that doesn't cost you a shotgun shell, and the Frost Armor/Renewal payload. |
| Aspect 1 |  Winter's Shroud | "Dodging slows nearby targets." Marksman's Dodge becomes a freeze-primer between shots; chains into Frost Armor. |
| Aspect 2 |  Bleak Watcher | "Hold grenade → Stasis turret firing slowing projectiles." Turret slows the room so your CF shots land on already-slowed (→ frozen) targets. |
| Fragments |  Whisper of Rime ·  Whisper of Fissures ·  Whisper of Chains ·  Whisper of Refraction | Rime extends/stacks the catalyst's Frost Armor; Fissures buffs shatter; Chains = DR + shards near frozen; Refraction = class energy from frozen kills (re-arms dodge → Heal Clip). |
| Exotic armour | Mask of Bakris (Helmet) | Stacking damage bonus to  Stasis weapons + a shift-dodge — buffs the Stasis barrel directly. |
| Kinetic/Primary | A Stasis primary (e.g. a Headstone or Chill Clip roll) | Makes crystals to shatter (Rimestealer/Fissures fuel) and feeds Bakris-eligible Stasis damage. |
| Heavy | Any Heavy you like — Solar or Stasis surge-matched | CF is your special, not your boss tool; bring sustained Heavy for DPS phases. Solar matches the ignite half if you want one surge to cover both. |
Why this works (the mechanics)
- Freeze is the keystone, and both barrels + three abilities make it. Duskfield, Withering Blade, Bleak Watcher's turret, and Winter's Shroud all slow; slow stacks to freeze; the Stasis barrel freezes outright at point blank. A frozen target eats the Solar ignition and a shatter burst on the same trigger — two damage instances Conditional Finality fires by design.
- The catalyst makes the gun self-sustaining. Rimestealer — every frozen kill or shattered crystal grants Frost Armor (flat DR). Heal Clip — reload after any final blow Cures you and allies. So the weapon that crowd-controls also heals you and armours you, with no fragment spend. Whisper of Rime extends that Frost Armor's duration and stack ceiling so it never drops.
- Mask of Bakris buffs the half that matters. Bakris grants a stacking damage bonus to Stasis weapons after a shift-dodge — that lands directly on CF's Stasis barrel and on your Stasis primary. Final blows during the bonus refund class-ability energy, so the shift-dodge that buffs you also re-arms Marksman's Dodge → another Heal-Clip reload. Bakris and the catalyst feed the same dodge.
- Whisper stack does the rest of the economy. Fissures inflates the shatter burst (your main AoE damage); Chains gives DR + Stasis shards while near frozen targets/crystals; Refraction returns class-ability energy on slowed/frozen kills — which is the dodge that arms Heal Clip and Winter's Shroud. Every frozen kill loops back into the next freeze.
- Unstoppable is intrinsic — no mod, no artifact. Split Decision carries a bespoke "Strong against Unstoppable" stun. Freezing a target is the stagger. That frees the artifact/mods to cover Barrier and Overload, and means your special slot doubles as champion answer in GM-tier content.
- Special-ammo economy is the only real cost — so the build leans on abilities and the Stasis primary for the freeze, saving CF rounds for the frozen-target execution where its dual-element burst is worth the shell.
Stats & mods
Priority: Health → Class → Super. CF's damage comes from Bakris + the freeze mechanic, not the Weapons stat, so Health (survivability under the Frost-Armor layer) and Class (dodge uptime = Heal Clip + Bakris re-trigger) lead. Super feeds Silence and Squall for the freeze-the-room button.
- Helmet: Harmonic/Stasis Siphon (frozen kills → Orbs) · Heavy/Special Ammo Finder.
- Gauntlets: Grenade Font (toward Duskfield uptime) · Melee Font (Withering Blade).
- Chest: Shotgun Reserves · one resistance mod per element under the Frost-Armor layer.
- Boots: Stasis Weapon Surge ×2 (≈+17% — buffs the Stasis barrel and your primary, stacking with Bakris) · Special Ammo Scavenger.
- Class item: Bomber/Outreach (ability regen) · Reaper or Powerful Attraction for orb economy.
- Stat tuning: trade into Class if dodge uptime feels short; the dodge is the engine.
Where it shines
- GM Nightfalls / −30/−40 content: intrinsic Unstoppable stun in the special slot, plus a permanent Frost Armor + Cure layer means you tank and stun without a dedicated champion weapon. Pair the artifact for Barrier + Overload.
- Endgame add-density (Master/Contest): freeze a pack → shatter chain (Fissures) → orbs + shards + Cure, while Bleak Watcher slows the next wave.
- Boss/miniboss burst: freeze the miniboss, dump the dual-element burst into it; for true boss phases swap to your Heavy — CF is the priority-target and champion deleter, not the damage-phase weapon.
- Champion coverage: Unstoppable = intrinsic to Conditional Finality. Barrier and Overload must come from the seasonal artifact (anti-champion mods) or a second weapon's archetype intrinsic — flag this when picking the other two slots.
