How to unlock the Having a Blast achievement in Starlink: Battle for Atlas - Definitive Guide

First of all, there are two types of Stasis blast, a heat blast and a cryo blast. To trigger a blast you have first to shoot a target with a Stasis missile (or throw a stasis container). Then you shoot the same target either with a heat or a cryo weapon.
You don't have to hit 5 enemies with a Stasis container, but when the blast occurs (either cryo, or heat) it should hit at least 5 enemies for the achievement to unlock.
What I did was go to a decode location (there are a dozen of them on each planet), then I waited for 7-8 enemies to spawn and then I back out of the hacking circle. I tried to group them and then I hit one with a stasis missile. I then hit that opponent with a cryo weapon until it exploded with a cryo blast.
One last thing you need to take into consideration is that the first enemy should not die immediately. For example, if you hit a low level imp or cyclops, it is possible that it would die immediately before you have the chance to hit it with your cryo or heat weapon.

Every other solution stated here didn't work, yours did within 2 tries. Thanks!

When the corruption level is pretty high, decoding is likely to attract a crush giant which will release a bunch of imps. This raises the chance of hitting 5 targets a lot.

As I played the digital version, I did not have the physical toys, I had to use the default ship and weapons. Once I finished the game, this was my last achievement. I tried several times to throw the stasis container at enemies but the achievement never popped. So, I started a new game and used easy setting.
Skip through all the beginning cutscenes as much as you can. You will have a space fight scene then another cutscene. Once you are able to get control of your ship on Kirite you will have to follow the pointers to the Equinox. On the way, destroy all the enemies (only 5 imps and 2 legions) up to there to get the 1st mission to find the observatory.
Instead of going to the observatory, I flew around until I found a village that had a stasis container in it. There were several legion walking around, about 6 or 7, so I flew in circles until they were all in a semi-close proximity, then I led them to a cold chamber in the village. The cold chamber in the village was the kind that has ice on it with 5 imps inside, so I let the imps loose for more enemies by firing my flamethrower. You have to back away to the other side of the main group so the imps don't board your ship and start causing damage, and it also puts the imps in the same area as the group. Once they were all right in front of me, I threw the stasis chamber at the middle, causing several to start to float, then I let loose with a volley of both heat and cold from my guns. As soon as 5 were destroyed the achievement popped.
I am not sure if you have to actually destroy the enemies or just catch them in the stasis field, but I had tried 20 or more times just throwing the container at the enemies without success.
It actually took me less time to get the achievement once I started over than it took to write this guide.
If this helped you, please give me a positive vote. If giving a negative, please let me know what I can do to fix this guide. Thanks for reading, and best of luck.

@OP: Something worth mentioning possibly for this guide:
This is doable on the first planet as described. However, I kept trying to do this in Bahari Town... IMO it doesn't work... I think the enemies are so weak (on Easy) that the stasis canister will kill them before you can do the combo.
If you are coming from the Equinox, there is a town past Bahari Town where the enemies have skulls over their heads -- ARAKI VILLAGE -- you could almost draw a straight line from the Equinox to Bahari Town and keep going (its also to the "right" of Worldspring if you are using this orientation).
Anyhow, on easy the skull Cyclops will pose no threat. There are about 5/6 of them, plus some imps roaming about outside the village. Do the technique as described in the guide to round up the enemies. Fire the canister toward the center, and then use your elemental weapons to get the combo. After trying in Bahari Town about 10 times I got this in Araki Village on the first try.
Good luck!

If you don't own any of the extra content or toys, this is the easiest way to knock this out.
TLDR:
Start a new game on easy and head to Araki Village. Use the Stasis Canister there on the enemies, then hit them with the Flamethrower.
Full Explanation:
Start a new game on easy, and equip the Flamethrower. Play through the tutorial until you crash onto the planet. Fly forward and take out the enemies to reach the Equinox. The game will have you open your map. Let the dialogue play out then close the map. Once Levi talks (he mentions "killer robots") pause and quit to title. Load your game back up and you'll be in a very specific spot. Only using
, aim at the Equinox, then open your map. Pan up for about three seconds, then right for one second. This is the approximate location of Araki Village. On the way there you'll pass the monument on your right and a crashed Drake on your left. When you get there fly around and get their attention. Make sure they're all shooting at you. On the map look for the blue chest. Head around the right corner of the building to find the Cold Cashe. Go behind it into the little alcove. Hang out until they all bunch up trying to get to you, then hop up onto the ledge on your right. Follow the path to the right and you'll find a Gravity Canister and past that a Stasis Canister. Grab the Stasis and hop back down. Fire it into the middle of the pack to raise them into the air, then hit one nearest the middle with your Flamethrower. The explosion should hit at least 6-7 of them.
If for some reason you don't get it to pop, just quit, reload, and head back to Araki Village. The enemies and the Stasis Canister respawns so you can try it again.
I based this guide off BipedFungus484's guide and Retrologue's comment. Works like a charm.

It took me three times to line up all the guys properly but it is a reliable and repeatable method for people who do not have the DLC/access to stasis weapons. Luckily, if you mess it up you can just hit start and exit the game, reload it and go right back to Araki village. All the enemies respawn and so does the status canister. 👍

Glad it worked out for you eventually! I'll edit the solution to add in the fact that you can just quit, reload, and try it again.

thanks you jdobem for your information.
I used the purchased weapons, but there are parts of the game that you have fair containers of stasis and gravity.
This is just the idea.
2:25 to 2:40 (2:37 exactly) but for some reason he did not record me that achievement jumped. the rest of the video is me crying and teaching the location.
it's hard... good luck. sorry for my English.

Just grab and throw those stasis containers you find lying around and throw to 5 targets like the small fire imps. Has to hit all 5 at the same time. Did it by accident on first planet but there's plenty of opportunities.
EDIT: Note combo is part of the requirement. So use toy weapons with stasis and fire OR other element against those stasis containers when a group of 5 enemies is around. It needs to trigger the combo keyword on your screen.

Stasis Blast occurs when you hit an enemy with a Stasis weapon to make them freeze and levitate, and then hit them with Heat or Cold weaponry to cause a "blast" effect which damages any nearby enemies. The trick is doing this to five targets. Imps would seem to be the obvious solution as they appear in clusters, but they might die from the initial Stasis weapon before you've had a chance to trigger the Heat/Cold blast. Instead you could try luring Cyclops or Giant types together in a cluster, as they're more likely to survive.
Note that only the blast element of the attack has to connect with five targets, not the initial Stasis shot.
Physical players will need to find Stasis Canisters unless they've purchased one of the dedicated Stasis weapons. This can make the achievement slightly more difficult as they'll have to make sure the initial canister detonation doesn't kill the nearby enemies before they can trigger the Stasis Blast.

First of all, I recommend doing this the moment you set foot (Or ship :P) on your very first planet, before moving on your first objective after reaching the equinox, on very easy difficulty. The reasons are two:
1) You can clean the outposts and the enemies will respawn because you dont't have the conquest the outpost feature yet.
2) If you screw up, you can quit to the main menu and restart the last checkpoint, and all the objects and enemies will be there again.
This trophy can be earned even if you dont have the stasis weapon digitally or phisically. If you don't have the stasis weapon (Phisically it only comes along with the Judge ship), digitally you can have the mentioned ship or the collectors pack which includes everything, you will need an stasis barrel. There is many around the map, but in the first video I show you there is one permanent location for one of them quite close to the equinox:
Once you have the barrel, you have to go to the location showed in the second video. For the achievement to pop, you have to concentrate five enemies in one narrow location (I recommend more), and:
1) Fire the stasis gun / throw the stasis barrel:
2) ONLY AFTER one enemy is hit with the stasis, SHOOT THE ENEMY in stasis with the flamethrower cannon. The enemy doesn't necessarily have to die, the important part is that the blast hits five enemies.
Here is a video of a pretty good location to earn the achievement (Location displayed at the near end of the video)
I take credit for both videos, also in the second one the cheevo popped for me, but it doesn't show. Hope it helps!

The most difficult of the weapon trophies. You need to hit 5 targets simultaneously with one Staz blast. To get a Stasis Burst, you must first put the target in a state of Stasis, and then attack it with a fire or ice weapon.
The easiest way to get it is to put the “Levitator” and “Ice Flurry” on the ship, fly up to the lair of the imps. Collect 5-6 imps, then shoot them with the Levitator, wait for at least one to fly into the air in the yellow field and attack it with Flurry. When it explodes you will receive a trophy.
You can also use Barrel Staz to obtain it, but they are quite rare.

There is an easier way. We find a red ship mark on the planet, fly there, start decoding, but DO NOT KILL the enemies. At 70% - 80% completion, we go beyond the zone in which we must stand to complete the task, and fail the task. We repeat 3-4 times, then we gather the enemies together and shoot at one of them from the Levitator (or bring a stasis barrel in advance) and any fire/ice weapon. (the same can be done at “outposts” where you need to hack the satellite dish)
