If you finish off a stunned enemy once again they will give you a reputation, so you can quickly open new quests and implants.

if you take equanimity, and then collect all the stunned in one place and quickly headshot in a row, then you can pump equanimity (only this does not always happen, I still didn’t figure out why)
