The Stasis Bunker is a room on the Vesper Defense Outpost. It appears in Metroid Prime Hunters.
Description[]
In this series of rooms, Samus can find two Alimbic Artifacts. There are also EnemySpawners spawning Voldrums here. In two major rooms, Samus will notice there are several Guardians floating in stasis tubes, with some Dead Guardians jamming a door. Once she has collected the first Artifact, the Enemy Spawners begin to spawn Voldrums. Then, after collecting the second one, up to four Guardians are released from each containment chamber.
Most of these Guardians wield versions of the Power Beam, Battlehammer and Magmaul, but one white-lensed Guardian is seen wielding the Judicator; this is the only time a Guardian is seen using the Judicator, raising the possibility that this one may be a prototype. Samus is locked inside the Stasis Bunker until she has cleared it of enemies. In the orange containment room, there are several Alimbic Lore entries about Gorea and the Oubliette.
The Watching theme begins playing in this room.

Items[]
- Universal Ammunition Expansion
- In the marked passage next to the Guardians in stasis on the upper floor. It is on the platform behind the large cylinder spewing out blue coolant.
- Cartograph Artifact
- Underneath the Alimbic Turret v1.4 is a computer. Scanning it activates another computer near the entrance for a short period of time. Scanning that one before time runs out temporarily allows Samus to collect the Shield Key. It is near the UA Expansion. If she collects it before time runs out, she can collect the Cartograph Artifact on the first floor.
- Attameter Artifact
- Defeat all Guardians that awaken upon collecting the Cartograph Artifact to make the Shield Key appear. It is behind the Ice Voldrum. It will allow Samus to collect the artifact on the first floor. The artifact will also unseal all doors.

Multiplayer[]
The Stasis Bunker is also available as a stage in the multiplayer mode. It is essentially the same as in single-player, although the Guardians, doors and some scannable objects are absent. There are two shield-type barriers found on the base floor, and a Jump Pad in the middle. On the top floor there is a tank containing some kind of substance. The arena has two levels, and it is medium-sized. The Imperialist, Battlehammer, Volt Driver, Universal Ammunition, Missile Ammo and Affinity Weapon pickups are found in the map.
Stasis Bunker is not a default stage; it is unlocked by playing forty local games or one Wi-Fi game.
Development notes[]
This room is seemingly based on the area used for the Morph Ball game mode in Metroid Prime Hunters: First Hunt, a demo for Hunters.
