Destiny 2 Hunter BuildPrismatic Nighthawk

This build does some of the highest damage in the game and it revolves around celestial nighthawk. I’ve gone over a few iterations of this build in the past but this is by far the best.

Celestial Nighthawk turns your golden gun into one really powerful shot, making it deal more damage and it all happens instantly. Also kills with golden gun refund a third of your super and precision kills with weapons will reduce the cooldown of your super so you can get them back very quickly. Now we're going to pair this with still hunt, the exotic sniper rifle that shoots golden gun shots. These golden gun shots are the exact same as the golden gun super, meaning they are also affected by Celestial Nighthawk so instead of 3 shots you get 1 stronger shot.

My previous builds have used a solar subclass but this time we’re going to use prismatic. This is because we have access to a bunch of other abilities to maximize our damage. So we’re using Facet of Dawn to become radiant after a melee and this is important because it does increase the damage of golden gun, Facet of Dominance to weaken enemies with our void grenade so they will take 15% more damage from everything (same thing with snare bomb), Facet of Courage to deal a little more damage against enemies with darkness debuffs, which we are applying with winter’s shroud, facet of grace to get transcendence faster from kinetic weapons and transcendence is another damage buff, and finally facet of hope to get your class abilities back faster and the reason we want that is because acrobat’s dodge will make us radiant even if we don’t have a melee going into a boss fight. And the reason I’m using stylish executioner is because it gives another source of weaken just by punching an enemy while invisible.

You’ll also want a rocket launcher with either auto loading holster or reconstruction and it’s best if it’s solar since you can use solar surges and solar scavengers for both still hunt and your rocket launcher.

This allows you to shoot your rockets, then swap to still hunt and dump all your ammo, reload still hunt, then that gives your rocket time to reload itself so you dump it again, then swap back to still hunt and continue the cycle. This makes it so you only have to reload still hunt but you’re still getting the damage of your rocket. You can take it a step further with solar holster mods. This will make it so you never have to reload either of your weapons. Solar holster will make still hunt reload an extra shot or two while you’re shooting your rocket and throwing your abilities. This extra shot is important because popping Cayde’s retribution will automatically reload still hunt. Long story short, this fills up still hunt just enough to get Cayde’s Retribution before you have to reload so you can basically never reload either of your weapons.

So just become radiant from a dodge or a melee, then apply a debuff with your smoke bomb, grenade, or stylish executioner, then swap back and forth with your still hunt and rocket launcher, and at some point squeeze in a golden gun for even more damage. And once again, full build will be in the description.
