Destiny 2 Hunter BuildOrpheus Big Rig

• Super void/Orpheus Rig/obviously.
• Gamblers dodge is needed to get melee back.
• Withering Blade - Our melee is buffing Bastion as noted. But it is also applying slow, which with the Winter's Shroud aspect, recharges our dodge, making a tight loop. It is also giving radiant through a fragment. And last, comboing our dodge and a melee will freeze targets, which is useful for shatter damage. While you could of course do an even easier melee dodge loop with the arc melee, this one can shatter bigger groups and allows us to be outside boss's melee range.
• Magnetic Grenade - although we can get weaken from our melee when used while invisible, it isn't as easy or reliable as getting it from void grenade and facet of dominance.

• Stylish Executioner - this aids a lot in our survival and is a secondary source of weaken.
• Winter's Shroud - I think this is the best second aspect because it makes such a strong melee dodge loop. You could go more aggressive with less ability uptime with Gunpowder Gambler, but that is only ideal with one of the weapon options I'll explain below. It also doesn't balance out light and dark damage as well for transcendence.

• Awakening - this helps a lot with our ability uptime. Paired with Honor it also gives much faster transcendence.
• Purpose - A layer of survivability.
• Dominance - weakening grenades.
• Dawn - radiance.

The last one is more flexible. I go with Honor for more transcendence usually. But in harder content, I will swap to Protection. While we aren't usually right in melee range with this, we are often within 15 meters for slows from Winter's Shroud and Bastion.

Bastion is a key to this build.

Pale Heart route When you have two Pale Heart weapons, an enemy kill gives 1.6 extra super energy. When you take No Hesitation and False Idols, with incandescent, it is easy to rack up add kills devastatingly fast.

And incandescent + chain reaction is just silly on False Idols.

Plus, No Hesitation even gives another multiplicative damage boost.

Arc route Thresh seems like an attractive perk. Enhanced, an extra 1.3% super per kill. So it is a little less than the two Pale Heart option, but it does give you freedom for an arc heavy of your choice.

The problem, historically, with thresh was that it was in the same column as damage or AoE perks.

Noxious Vetiver is thus a great option as you can get it with thresh and jolting feedback. Attrition orbs / jolting feedback is also nice in higher end content. Not as much super, but more ability uptime with our class item mod.

If you go this route though, you will want to swap to the arc grenade as that lowers jolting feedback's proc when amplified. That does mean you will be relying on Stylist Executioner weakening between supers.

You can pair that with Watchful Eye with Rolling Storm to get some Bolt Charge added to your kit.

Obviously, change your siphon mod if going arc route.

Overall Overall, I tend to swap between these with activity surges. But also, I'll run the arc route if amplified speed boost is useful in the activity.

Armor - Orpheus Rig as noted.

• Head - siphon, a special ammo finder at least. If your armor stats can take it, also a heavy ammo one.
• Arms - A little more ability looping. Not going heavy handed because we are often powered meleeing harder targets to set up Bastion and apply slow to debuff their accuracy. But it is a fair play since you can also go for freeze with a dodge melee combo on a group of adds, if you aren't trying to build up your super with weapon add clear.
• Chest - Charged up because we are ridiculously combining blue and yellow armor mods. :P
• Legs - Recuperation and surges.
• Emo Hoodie - typical mostly. I like restorative finisher here because this is an ability x weapon synergy build. This gives 50% ability to your least charged, which should usually be your dodge or grenade. Note it does work a little funky with the dual melee that Withering Blades is. In harder content, where even shielded red bars are tough, I swap to special ammo finisher.

All three covered and it is artifact independent.

Barrier = Radiant Unstoppable = Bastion intrinsic. Plus Shatter Overload = slow from dodge or melee

Just to connect the above dots, we have a lot of layers here:

On orb pickup we get recuperation and a void overshield.

We have invisibility, which we can get easily...on melee defeat, a defeat after dodging near someone, from our weapons perks, from weaken.

Three debuffs slowing and freezing, and suppression from our tether.

And if you go with No Hesitation, you also can get Restoration.

• Particle Reconstruction!!!!
• King's Vestige and Disruptor Spike are useful on any build
• Dreadful finisher is very useful
• If you go arc route, take Flashover and Overclock and Reload, for some additional periodic amplified, damage reduction, and reload speed.
• Heavy Ordinance if going with Watchful Eye
• Defibrillating Blast
