Destiny 2 Hunter BuildOops All Grenades (Young Ahamkara's Spine)

• Blade Barrage or GG Marksman - preference

• Tripmine Our exotic only works with this

• Knife Trick - I like the best, but if you are really accurate, Weighted Throwing Knife does work. The others don’t add scorch, which isn’t ideal.

• Gambler’s Dodge Another way to keep the loop going.

• On Your Mark - got some big buffs and helps this build with giving up to 50 weapon stat for damage and ammo and cure on kills.

• Gunpowder Gamble - I prefer over Knock ‘Em Down because we’re too often not spamming our melee since we have the sword out. We’re building other ways to get melee back to get radiant.

• Searing - scorched enemy kill = more melee and a firesprite. Firesprite = more grenades. This is mainly useful for giving us a constant source of healing via Mercy since we are usually doing add clear with our melee or sword. Again, the Praxic Blade will apply scorch on hit with the Impact Core.

• Mercy - restoration on firesprites

• Torches - for radiant

• Singeing - 400% class regen on applying scorch. This gives another way to proc On Your Mark, recharge your melee, and make and collect orbs given armor mods.

Those are the core.

• Ashes - I recommend Ashes as it adds scorch, which adds up to more ignitions, which do count for ability damage independently for Young Ahamkara.

But

• Resolve - is valid for more cure on grenade kills for an even more defensive approach.

Praxic Blade - you need Impact Core and Hyperblade, the rest is preference.

A Primary with attrition orbs and scorch - Another source of scorch is useful if our loop falls off at any point.

• Burning Ambition v. Incandescent. Either works here but burning ambition is better for boss damage. Incandescent is the easier add clear perk in non-ridiculous content. But we can add clear with melee, grenades, etc. It is important to know that Burning Ambition take its sweet time to apply scorch, but if an enemy is already scorched it starts fast, for ignitions galore in this build.

I will explain the attrition orbs under Armor.

Higher RPM options seem to be a bit better for procing On Your Mark, though I didn’t test extensively.

Best options in Renegades would be an SMG or pulse to cover all champs.

But unfortunately there are currently few available options iirc: But you can farm for Zealous Ideal from Equilibrium

Heavy

Very flexible in general.

If you really want to lean into the ‘Oops all grenades,’ - a heavy GL. If you don’t have an SMG or Pulse with a scorching perk and attrition orbs, you may need a chill clip or jolting feedback heavy to cover all champs.

Stats Grenade as high as possible with decent weapons stat, melee and class at least 50.

On Your Mark will buff your weapons stat up to 50 at 10 stacks.

Set Bonuses

2x Smoke Jumper - We are making orbs via grenade kills, weapon multi-kills, and attrition orbs. This is one of our two key damage reductions.

IF you don’t have any of this armor from last season, Ferroponent is good too. More consistent, but lower (10%) reduction.

2x Swordmaster - We only really need to worry about tough targets on this build since add clear is so easy. Swordmaster debuffs via exhaust for 25% damage reduction. It also works for melees, so when you’re in a boss target, melee, grenade, dodge, melee, grenade loop here, we’re again reducing damage.

Armor Mods

Mostly standard fare.

• Barrier - radiant and the Praxic blade is inherently anti-barrier

• Overload - take a pulse or an smg for your primary. IF you don’t have one with burning ambition and attrition orbs, take a heavy with chill clip or jolting feedback.

• Unstoppable - ignitions

We do get some good benefits from the artifact, mostly small that add up, but none that change anything about how you play this.

I would even take the void / sword ones on the bottom row if playing at all in a team. Even if you can’t weaken or apply a void debuff, you’re likely to get that in a team.

To connect the dots, we have:

Heals on

• orbs (a little)

• Cure on kills when at 10 stacks of On Your Mark

• Whenever we pick up a firesprite, which we make from melees, grenades, and our Primary and Special weapons

Damage resistance from

• orbs

• from amplified

Damage reduction from Swordmaster

I really tried to recreate General Leia’s Boushh Bounty Hunter disguise from Return of the Jedi, but I just didn’t find perfect options.

Best I could muster was:

• Helmet - Dead End Cure

• Hands - The Wrong Hands

• Chest - Crimson Plume

• Legs - Apostate’s Blade

• Cape - Covert Ranger

All in Skele-Ghaul except the cape in Game Keeper.
