3 Hunter Builds That DOMINATE Endgame PVE! (Destiny 2)

[@DontEatCream]

I feel like 90% of build videos from other content creators are too gimmicky. They are designed for views, not end game content. Your builds are actually functional. Thank you for that.

[@AboveDestiny]

I always try and keep people updated on the meta and what works in difficult content. So I really appreciate that feedback!

@@AboveDestinyyeah thanks man, I couldn’t do gms at all before and now I almost have the title

[@jasonwattier283]

Not sure if another comment pointed this out but Devour no longer does a full heal - it’s about half/100 hp (4:13). They changed this at the beginning of the season.

[@jasonwattier283]

Still a really good ability / subclass verb none the less

Not even close. When comparing to eater of worlds timeframe.

[@B-------D]

Me: I remember the real Rigs..... they're never coming back

[@RylanStorm]

It will never get as good as Forsaken era Orpheus Rigs. Chaining Supers was so broken. But also kinda fun.

[@DarkLumina]

The solar build is almost exactly the same as the one I made earlier this season, and it's extremely powerful. Honestly, I'm loving the celestial nighthawk appreciation.

[@louisindradjaja2535]

I just tried the orpheus rig build with quicksilver + scavenger salvo + crux and I was getting endless supply of super. It was super fun to clear ads and the survivability is amazing too.

[@HighImPoe]

Thank you for this video!!!! You can use whatever weapons you want and still use these builds. Been looking for something like this for a while.

[@AboveDestiny]

Very welcome dude!

[@phillyjoe4798]

Crimson is great with lucky pants too. The heal and automatic reload also allows you to mow down clusters of high health enemys.

[@loganparsons3820]

The burst also means you’re hitting the max stacks almost immediately

[@matthatter3353]

Great video! I love Lucky Pants build especially with Nightstalker. Since the súper is more for utility as well as the melee this subclass can lack hard hitting power. That’s where my Malf and Lucky Pants come in

[@leonwong95]

This solar build definitely went far above my expectation.. most of the time I can one hit all the champions and sometimes half health boss..

[@ivantarjan7360]

I've been using strand hunter with maelstrom, decoy and lucky pants and it's really good on master lost sectors, i use warden's law as the dps weapon and eyes of tomorrow for add clear, both weapons have infinite ammo so you can just nuke the slightest inconvenience and keep going.

[@uhsul]

Three absolutely goated Hunter builds, and gives a Titan main hope to use another class!

[@AboveDestiny]

Thanks Uhsul! Enjoy!

[@matiasgaming4971]

Was using the Orpheus Rig build for my GMs this season a couple of weeks ago, and when I was luckily paired with a Pheonix Protocol Warlock through LFG, which was most of the time. The team basically became unstoppable as we fed each other constant supers

[@AboveDestiny]

It’s actually insane how often you can keep the supers chaining!

[@incitossol]

Did a GM run of the Moon battleground or whichever has the “defend the console” bit. Had a Titan with Ursa, a Phoenix protocol warlock, and me as a Orpheus Hunter. After a certain point we would literally just not be out of supers

[@Alex-sp3yo]

Quick note for people who watching this video right now: Kinetic surge don't give any benefits to Golden gun anymore

[@thebigpickle465]

Thanks, I thought I was going crazy.

[@Dooood89]

So Double solar surge?

[@provicate4334]

Orpheus Rig is my go to Void hunter build. Last season I used it for everything using Wish Ender(which pulls in soo much super energy from kills), Null Composure, and either Retrofit Escapade or a rocket launcher depending on the content.

[@silly_atom_bomb]

I think i found a little loophole in the celestial nighthawk build. You see, if you choose to use Tiicu's Divination as your energy weapon, you can get your ultimate in like 4 to 6 shots if there is a cluster of enemies, beacause if you hit an enemy without aiming first (in this mode the arrows are autotracking btw), that enemy will become essentially a moving grenade, to make it explode just hit it with an amimed arrow, but here's the nice thing, if you get a headshot, the explosion damage also deals critical damage, which propagates itaelf to nearbye enemies giving you like 15%-20% of your ultimate bar in a single shot... Kinda op if you ask me... Sorry for the yapping but i wanted to share this 😁

[@yudodis465]

I use that lucky pants build all the time, just with void. A friend of mine uses it with solar, and another uses stasis. It's a great combo, especially with even red bars becoming so tanky as of late, and so many champs or yellow bars running around, it helps to have a consistent way to dole out high damage on only a 10 second cooldown.

[@bryanfederhenn279]

What weapons are you running for your void build?

[@yudodis465]

@@bryanfederhenn279 Malf, a voltshot weapon, and Apex preadator. My void subclass is entirely devoted to survival with invis, echo of vigilance, devour, all those goodies so running a void weapon isn't super needed.

[@w1zardtv]

Took a nice year plus break from destiny, so this is a nice little refresher for some good builds. Appreciate that

[@Poppyrae]

I will always have a soft spot for night stalker orpheus rig I can’t tell you the excitement year 1 d2 when I got it to drop after 250 hours. Honestly one of my best Destiney memories. I felt like I got Hunter through last wish raid

[@brandonhaag52]

I still find it interesting that people say it’s crazy how golden gun can one hit a champion, where almost every super can one hit a champion

[@razor15593]

Hunter is beast i try Titan and wizard but man i love double Jumper i like mobility, i liceum invisibility i like knives and cayde is most iconic charakter in destiny, but to be honest i Haven fun in hunter building, Titan and wizard building is Just not my Type of gameplay.

[@JordanStoker-i6t]

Just used the Malfeasance build on the GM. I went crazy. I got 130k score and 200 kills. Tysm

[@YourAverageLucario]

For the void build, I'd use Buried Bloodline and replace Trapper's Ambush with Stylish Executioner.

[@theahearn2658]

So I want to let you and your viewers know that the kinetic surge combination with Nighthawk and golden gun got absolutely patched over. It no longer works. It still does a lot of freaking damage but not 999,999 anymore.

[@johnpenrose8678]

Any suggestions if I have neither Warden's or Malf? Great series from you mate. For me, you're synonymous with peak end game.

[@JohnnyLocke]

Crimson, any legendary 180 w good magazine perks

Thank you so so much!! I'd say either Crimson, Sunshot, or Thorn could be cool alternative options!

What is the chest armor for the solar build

[@robsheppard5353]

What should our stat priorities be on the Lucky Pants build? And the other too, would be nice if you talked about stats for all of your builds. Thanks though, this is all very helpful.

[@bigbuddha8873]

On the Nighthawk build, I do like using Gunpowder Gamble instead of On Your Mark because I like having a grenade to deal damage to ads. It’s about 35k from the grenade, then I still heal from healing grenade.

[@agyei9542]

I use gyrfalcons with stylish execution and a destabilizing rounds hero’s burden to chain invis

[@AboveDestiny]

Great option no doubt! I personally like Rigs much better for GMs tho as it’s a less selfish exotic.

[@pyrocasten]

Just a heads up for anyone watching, kinetic surges have been patched as they were never intended to work the way they have been.... It sucks but it was fun while it lasted lol (edit* referring to increasing Goldie damage)

Question about precision damage: Lets say I headshot a thrall with sunshot and the explosion kills some surrounding thralls... does that count as precision kills for all or just for the one I shot? Trying to figure out if that would hurt super regen for nighthawk as opposed to just killing em individually with a different gun

the kinetic surge for the solar build doesn't work anymore right? specifically the celestial nighthawk that you mentioned?

Any Last Word fans out there, try out build three with that gun. It's fun

[@deadlyalliance8281]

I prefer gunpowder gamble more than on your mark but hey! To eachs own. And fun little fact... Did you know that an arc soul you obtain running through a healing rift will actually blow up your gunpowder gamble..... In your own face.... Immediately after you throw it out. It thinks it's an enemy lmao(weird coding I guess) . Never seen anyone post this before but yeah...it almost killed me several times in last night's grand Master. I thought the enemies were shooting that shit immediately after I threw it.... Nope! It was my own borrowed arc buddy!

[@Mr011i3]

Just started to play this game... you get devour on orb of power, but they arent that freqent without the "when you kill something weakened get an orb" is it?

[@scootymac4640]

I recommend to anyone trying the Orpheus rig to use echo of provision. Tether always weakens so your producing more orbs and a void breach. You can thank me later😊

[@seanlao5987]

What's a good grenade launcher to use for the secondary of the lucky pants build

[@jimmylor4467]

Been trying to get malfeasance but havent been able to get the quest for it. I saw a video that says you just need to defeat the primeval boss once and it will drop, but i havent been able to get that bosses yet. I have gotten it in the past when i was grinding for it but it still never dropped for me.and b4 anyone says to checked in the archive quest i already did

[@toreadorjj5482]

You have the quest already if I’ve defeated at least one primeval. They removed the ascendant primeval servitor boss from the game a year or two back, and changed it to “kill any primeval” to start seething heart quest… trust me, look through your exotic quests…. I did the same thing as you and grinded for a week and didn’t see the meatball

[@jimmylor4467]

@toreadorjj5482 can it be any bosses or does it have to be that meatball looking boss. The video I've watch said just kill 1 boss and u can get it and I have yet to get it. And it's not in my inventory. The quest goes straight into ur inventory if u get it.

[@Hand-Banana]

What shader are you using on the lucky pants build? I have a solar lucky pants build that melts bosses, and I think the arc one could be pretty fun too. I have a version of the night hawk build already too, but I'll try this one out as well. I miss YAS, RIP. The nerf they did to YAS made it unusable IMO, it was my favorite exotic armor piece for hunter, but the nerf did force me to try other things, so there is a small silver lining there.

[@tronshit3843]

what is your kinetic weapon for nighthawk build?

[@Fr0styPopsicles]

Personally I think this is a w list BUT for raids I’m starting to realize how good dragon shadow is in a swap rotation

[@MisterBee]

I've been away from the game for a while, did Bungie buff of change Bipod? I thought it was unusable on release but I see you're rocking Bipod on your rocket in this video. What use case do you prefer Bipod over another damage perk like Explosive Light/Vorpal/Bait and Switch? Thanks!!!!

[@AboveDestiny]

Hey! Yes they did! They buffed it by 20%, and it’s definitely a solid option in GMs now for ammo economy if you have a Gjally in your team! I use both, kinda go back and forth with Recon Frenzy in GMs as well!

Lucky Pants + Trust + Resto/Radiant Solar set up = best endgame build I’ve used

[@filipgasic2642]

What perks do you have/ want to on Trust?

[@qlALPHAlp]

@@filipgasic2642 basically you need anything that will get you to 16 shots without needing to reload. It’s a 180 rpm HC so it can get 16.5 shots off in the time the lucky pants buff is active. After that I look for reload speed and finally a consistent damage buff that compliments the Empyrean play style of needing to stay in the fight. The roll I use and would consider to be the god roll for lucky pants is: extended mag, rapid hit, and frenzy with a boss mod There’s still many rolls that fit the criteria of what I listed above though. The builds nice because the trust is used for both general uses and melting beefier targets allowing you to use a utility weapon in the kinetic slot. Also being a legendary gives you the advantage of paring it with an exotic

[@cycosav]

What GL is that and how is he getting it to shoot flames across the floor like that. I have the worst time with GL. Grenades just bounce into oblivion missing everything

[@OrphanCrippler1]

I dunno the launcher itself, but its a waveframe. Waveframe launchers send the wave along the floor

[@kareemsamir7283]

Loved your video. What weapons would you recommend in combination with orpheus rigs. Maybe something that gets your super back even faster?

[@susguy7040]

Maybe bad juju, but it takes exotic slot

[@wstormborn3187]

Bad juju is just bad unfortunately. Other kinetic slot options are wishender (triple damage hits), or non-exotic anything with kinetic tremors - depending on content I use scouts (Randy’s, hung jury), autos (breakneck, tigerspite), pulse (battlescar), hand cannon (spare rations) or side arm (buzzard) all have kinetic tremors
