Destiny 2 Warlock BuildOutbreak of The Orb Gods

After really looking for something that shines with Techsec, we leaned into the fact that we wanted to lean heavily into weapon damage, specifically, kinetic weapons. I landed on Chromatic Fire with its ability to explode on precision hits and spread a keyword around the area. Void was an obvious choice as void will spread weaken. This is an important keyword as the void fragments play really well with weaken.

I tested many different exotic and legendary kinetic weapons. Though, one stood out that I kept coming back to — Outbreak Perfected. Outbreak is such a versatile weapon. It melts large and small bad guys alike, has decent range and can clear ads well with Nanites. To add to that? With Chromatic Fire, a single precision kill will create a Weakening burst and release nanites. Those nanites will kill nearby weakened targets and starts the loop with Echo of Harvest by creating an orb.

Once you create an orb of power, the build truly starts to cruise. Picking up orbs creates ability energy, kicks off weapon surges, fuels weapon perks, and starts Devour. From there, anything g that weakens targets gets you orbs as well as just using grenades and weapons. Kill a group of ads, move to that area, pick up the orb and move to the next.

Echo of Harvest really is the only important one here as it contributes orb generation just by precision kills with any kinetic weapon.

Echo of Starvation grants you devour, one of the best buffs in the game and gets a grenade back.

Echo of Undermining gives your grenades weakening. Anything in this build that weakens is another potential orb and orbs powers everything.

As for other fragments, use whatever else you like.

Helmet: Ashes to Assets to get super energy and Siphon Mods for orbs

Gloves: Bolstering Detonation to get class ability energy back from grenade damage as well as orb generation from grenade kills with Firepower.

Chest: Whatever resistance mods you need for your content.

Legs: Insulation for healing rift and Child spam and the rest are Kinetic Surge mods to clear even more efficiently.

Class Item: Bomber, Powerful Attraction, and Reaper for more orbs.

Kinetic Slot: Outbreak Perfected

Energy Slot: No specific requirements. I chose Aberrant Actio as this seasons artifact is solar heavy and boosts sidearms.

Heavy Slot: Will most likely update this slot the most as it will depend on encounter needs. I like the Envious Assassin/Explosive Light roll of Edge Transit with the amount of kills and orbs I will be getting.

With armor 3.0, I will be testing these a lot. However, the ability for weapons to shine here, specifically Outbreak Perfected, I’m leaning heavily into the Weapons Stat and getting it as high as I can. Devour and mods should help with survivability and energy manipulation.
