This Void Warlord Build Ended Up Being OP! | Will It Build?

Just wanted to note that the submitter of this build, chef4848, asked for the funds to be put towards charity rather than being used to give him his 1000 silver. Feel like that deserves some commendations! Much love to chef.

Gnawing Hunger, subsistence + demolitionist + reload masterwork. Almost never runs out of bullets and if it does it reloads insanely fast. Started playing D2 in Season of the Arrivals and Gnawing Hunger + Witherhoard + Falling Guillotine is still one of my all time favorite loadouts. An old man is allowed some nostalgia right?

[@jjpeloquin]

You had my at Gnawing Hunger.

[@AlClisby]

Sub/Demo Gnawing is great. If you have a Warlock I recommend trying it with Nezarec's Sin to get your grenade back even faster with a nice bump to regen on your other abilities as well. Also is it just me or does Gnawing Hunger kinda sound like a drum line on crack?

[@NielsNuyttens]

@@AlClisby absolutely. Always preferred Nezarec's sin to contraverse because of the demo roll. But it doesn't scale that well to higher difficulty though...

[@ernieels355]

Came here to say this exact build. I have over 100k kills with it

[@godlyhax4172]

That's almost my exact loadout lol. Sometimes a blinding GL or a scout instead of witherhoard

[@toonlink6510]

Unforgiven is a void smg from the duality dungeon that gets demolitionist that I love using, also gets repulsor brace which is great with volatile rounds.

[@donaldbiddle3595]

I love fennelweb for void running

[@XxMobius48xX]

Unforgiven with Demo has been my go to void weapon since the Duality dungeon dropped. So good.

[@mindofthemuseless]

I have a Unforgiven with demo and adrenaline junkie. so good

[@SkellyHertz]

It can also roll with Demolitionist and Golden Tricorn, which is some absurd damage.

[@chrissturges8952]

I have a demo+junkie and demo+repulsor brace one and both are awesome.

[@freed2519]

Unforgiven SMG pairs nicely with this, with Demo in the third column, outside of SMGs you also have Gnawing Hunger and Word of Crota as decent options

[@jasonbisdead]

There it is.

[@WickedJackal-i6h]

Pretty much Unforgiven. I prefer it over funnelweb

[@cluster_f1575]

I managed to get one with Demo/Golden Tricorn which I’m pretty happy with.

[@TheWorkOver]

@@WickedJackal-i6hit’s better than funnelweb imo. Gets better rolls. Demo + adrenaline junkie

[@yaboikiba4302]

Demolitionist/Repulsor Brace on Unforgiven has been my go to in every void build I've run since Duality dropped. It's just great, I love it Edit: You can also get a Demolitionist+Adrenaline Junkie roll and just melt everything, but Repulsor Brace is too comfortable with Echo of Undermining

[@joeshmoe2782]

As many people have mentioned, if you have a gnawing hunger with demo on it, it feels amazing (mine is sub demo, and Ive kept it since season of arrivals). But for those have dont it, both Word of Crota and Optative can both be crafted with the enhanced version of demo to gain that extra little bit of grenade charge on each kill

[@lonefrontranger]

I found both a gnawing hunger with subsistence/demo and an Unforgiven (aggressive smg from Caital dungeon) with demo/repulsor brace chilling at the bottom of my vault, so yay for hoarding ig? -- the origin perk on Unforgiven makes it so it gets insane handling/reload while you're wading into mobs with Devour active and the void overshield from repulsor brace active. Makes it very hard to die!

[@evans3654]

My favorite one I think would be perfect for this build would be Graviton Lance. With even more void explosions and getting a free over shield sometimes I think it would mesh very well.

[@ttv_sync09]

Overload champions too 💯

[@lonefrontranger]

Collective Obligation cooks with these builds as well (if you have it)

[@GP917355]

I feel as though Gnawing Hunger with subsistence and demo would be a good pick! Its got a high rpm which is good for the volatile rounds, its an auto rifle so its got more range than the average SMG, it can roll with some good mag extensions, and the perk combo is perfect for add clear while feeding into the the grenade build!

[@sideffect28]

A few void primary suggestions: Unforgiven (Duality, 720 rpm SMG) rolls demo/frenzy and I love it for my Contraverse Hold build; also the Vouchsafe rolls Repulser Brace and Golden Tricorn which may be a cool one to use. Love the channel!

[@eclipixie536]

Unforgiven can also roll with demo/repulsor brace, which considering the volatile and weaken application would be free overshields for a large amount of the gameplay loop.

[@lukedaly1039]

Usually run demo golden tricorn. Repulsor is nice but harder content that constant 50% damage buff is a gamechanger. Especially last room of the coil, makes the arc shields feel like paper even with void

[@MarkyD91]

This format of build video is by far my favourite. I especially appreciate the tweaks to the build and alternative options with explanations. Good job

[@rogzxe614]

A really good option would be Unforgiven as it can roll with Demo in the first column and it can roll with many good options in the 2nd column such as Repulsor Brace, Adrenaline Junkie, or Frenzy. Another great option that could go well with the artifact mod this season would be the Word of Crota due to the fact that it can stun unstoppables.

[@lemanruss9127]

You forgot Golden Tricorn on Unforgiven. With 2 grenades it's really easy to activate. With 1 stack it gives +15% dmg, with 2 +50%, add volatile rounds on top and it just destroys everything.

[@BeercanJeremy]

Unforgiven with demo is my go to for void. I wanna try a build with collective ob if I ever got it. I also have a build to recommend for will it build: briarthorn/touch of malice void build: feed the void and child aspects with harvest, starvation, undermining, and vigilance. At least 100 resilience and 100 recovery if possible.Weapons of choice: Touch of malice for exotic, unforgiven with demo for suppression spam, and whatever void heavy you prefer. Key goal keep devour up and overshield and just have touch on 1 bullet without reload and decimate. I personally do not have touch yet but a friend of mine tried this build for me and it was a blast. Starter is rift get overcharged child send it out to suck and before timer ends pick it back up or your rfit should have came back up and you can send another out

[@hunterharris6276]

Dude nice call. I had one in my vault with demo AJ paired with a demo alh pardon our dust. Easy plat coil

[@jazielmaldonado4471]

Positive Outlook - Ambitious Assasin with either repulsor brace for survivability or destabilizing rounds ( volatile kills countless as an ability kill) + vanguards vindication for more survivability

[@ChaosRaych]

Scrolling through, I haven't seen anyone suggest Age-Old Bond (360rpm Void AR from Last Wish). It can be crafted with Repulsor Brace + Destabilizing Rounds, which work really well together. It might be a bit overkill, since you already have Devour & near-constant Volatile Rounds, but it couldn't hurt to lean into the build even more. I never use Manacles tbh but this build might change my mind!

[@exxy9931]

Dude, this is one of my favorite guns to use on Gyrfalcons (same combo that you mentioned). Not sure if there are double explosions or not (one from destabilizing and one from the post-invis volatile) but it feels soooooo good and I barely see anyone else use it.

[@saladgaming4339]

​@@exxy9931​destabilizing explosion only applies volatile and doesn't do damage so if you're clearing trash adds, you get a lot of volatile but you have to kill the volatile adds for explosions note that repulsor brace only gives overshield if the bullet from the gun gets the kill, not the volatile explosion

[@Wynorrific]

I think it's because higher RPM weapons are the way to go with volatile rounds. Faster firing weapons seem to proc the explosion more

[@ChaosRaych]

@@Wynorrific There was a bug that made high RoF weapons proc Volatile explosions more frequently, particularly when paired with DoT effects (like Witherhoard). But Bungie fixed it back in January by adding an internal cooldown (1 per second) & tailoring the amount of damage needed to trigger the explosion based on weapon type (i.e. high RoF weapons require more hits to proc explosions). Now, Volatile explosions are more consistent, even with slower-firing weapons

[@ChaosRaych]

@@saladgaming4339 That's true, but you also have to secure the kill (or do enough damage) to proc explosions with Volatile Rounds. Destabilizing Rounds is just 1 step more than Volatile Rounds - the initial kill. After that, Volatile explosions still work the same. You're right about Repulsor Brace only granting an OS when a debuffed enemy dies to the weapon itself. A Volatile enemy will still explode upon death, which causes damage & makes other nearby enemies Volatile as well (since they died to the weapon, not the explosion). Repulsor also works well with Child of the Old Gods bc of its Weakening effect

[@aaronjett6122]

With the recent hand cannon buffs, I've liked using Word of Crota with Repulsor Brace and Destabilizating Rounds for maximum synergy with the void subclass. You can get demolitionist like you mentioned in the video along with some really great damage perks in the 4th column you could go for like Frenzy or Sword Logic.

[@AlClisby]

Gotta go with Gnawing Hunger. I've had one with Subsistence/Demolitionist for years and it's lived in my inventory that whole time because I can always find a place for it in some build each season. If nothing else it always pairs excellent with Nezarec's Sin and in the case of the build above I think it'd do great.

[@armandgeelen1097]

Same here

[@m0d3rn4g3]

I was going to suggest this exact roll. Still one of my favorite ARs after all these years.

[@Cokebeard]

yup yup, years ago i was blessed with a Demo/sub with accurized, arrowhead, and a range masterwork. she reaches out and touches mobs, lol. it feels so good.

[@benthompson7991]

I came to suggest the same thing! Solid roll for this build

[@zatchley]

I have a Gnawing Hunger with Subsistence + Demo that I've held onto for a long time specifically for builds like this. Also, we have auto rifles in the artifact this season, so you could bring it into higher-level nightfalls and lost sectors as well. Might be hard to acquire for newer players, but I'll absolutely be trying it out with this build.

[@lanjin]

I second this

[@chickox]

There are two weapons that come to mind. Unforgiven has been mentioned. but the unconventional answer is Traveler's Chosen. I've used it a ton with Void warlock builds and Osmosis grant it volatile rounds, ability regeneration with the exotic perk, as well as lets you equip 3 void weapons. Use it with these builds. super fun

[@kevinc3673]

I rock this same nothing manacles build a lot with Traveler’s Chosen and it’s great.

[@Savussy]

Sadge i don’t have nothing manacles but conterverse hold feels nice

[@alanhenderson6744]

I’d do a demo sword logic word of Crota, demo kill clip gnawing hunger, or the seasonal bow with repulsor brace/golden tricorn.

[@incoher]

+ piercing sidearm artifact mod this season

[@bobzillagames2379]

The Hero’s Burden with Feeding Frenzy and Destabilizing Rounds has become my new go-to void smg, it makes everything go boom with my void Hunter build and should work similarly here

[@Roundbrow]

Unforgiven from Duality is probably my favorite Demo Void primary ammo weapon. Any of the fourth column perks can honestly pair pretty well with Demo, but I tend to lean toward Adrenaline Junkie when I want to heavily build into grenades and Repulsor Brace if I want survivability. Just a great feeling gun!

[@Justin032106]

Unforgiven from Duality. You can get Demolitionist and Repulsor Brace on it. It's been my go-to primary for my Hunter's Gyrfalcon's Hauberk build. You'd definitely get a similar level of build synergy with this Warlock build here. For the Kinetic slot for those with bad RNG or don't raid: Witherhoard is a super easy choice here.

[@ajacarlson3069]

graviton lance goes CRAZY with builds like this, but i'm also very fond of age-old bond with repulsor brace & either destabilizing rounds (if you don't have echo of instability) or golden tricorn.

[@aj9760]

For this build I highly recommend using the ritual pulse rifle Veles-X since it has repulsor brace which pairs well with the volatile rounds and golden tricorn which complements the playstyle of this build really well to keep up a 50% dmg boost 24/7, and pulse’s got a pve buff this season perfect time to try out

[@matthazardousop4080]

I was actually going to mention that too lmao

[@tyrantworm7392]

It's shit though, even with the buff.

[@TerraTheWise]

unfortunately it's a pulse rifle that isn't graviton

[@LordHound616]

I think for this type of in your face build, it doesnt fore fast enough and definitely now lacks this season....good for a controlled distance kill

[@Gibson.the.labrador]

What about collective obligation? Seems like that exotic would work great

[@GlasswayWarlock]

Pre sunsetting: Gnawing Hunger with subsistence/demo and drop mag Post sunsetting: Last breath with demolitionist osmosis; I'm aware that it isn't strictly void, but it allows your kinetic weapon to leach the element for any subclass that has a grenade build requirement, but also lets you use full void for this build where you could easily run something with thresh if you wanted higher super uptime, etc; the new exotic from Warlord's Ruin could be a secondary debuff source if yo uwanted even. Outside of those two perks for Last Breath, whatever the other 3/5 need to be to make a person happy would be my guess, I don't have preset wants or needs in those columns.

[@SnnowWolfe]

Possible Void weapons Auto Rifle - Gnawing Hunger - Subsistence + Rampage/Demolitionist (My personal Favorite. Handles very well in my experience) Bow - Lethophobia - Repulsor Brace + Golden Tricorn (I don't have the weapon and haven't used it, however these perks sound like a good pairing with the build) Handcannon - Word of Crota - Repulsor Brace/Demolitionist + Frenzy/Adrenaline Junkie (I don't have the weapon and haven't used it, however these perks sound like a good pairing with the build) Pulse Rifle - (Personally not a fan of Pulses and have rarely used them) Scout Rifle - (I don't think this weapon type would help with the build all that much) Sidearms - (Not a big fan of sidearms. Always seems like I have ghost rounds when i use them) Submachine - Funnelweb - Subsistence + Adrenaline Junkie/Frenzy OR Unforgiven - Demolitionist/Well-Rounded + Repulsor Brace/Golden Tricorn

[@zombieslayer648]

Word of crota can roll with demolitionist and repulsor brace if you can get it from the crota dungeon, if not, you could go with a bottom dollar which can also get demolitionist if you get lucky on the drop. There's also unforgiven, every waking moment, and reckless oracle which could all be pretty good

[@michaelmarrero492]

Veles-x from a few seasons ago is great for any void build. An actually good ritual weapon. Shakira’s Wrath with adrenaline junkie would also be very good for this build. If you can get the adept one you can add big ones spec for more damage on top.

[@anthonyv9300]

shakira's wrath, love it lol. Also good take on veles, I feel it gets looked over a lot

[@Avoncarstien]

Word of Crota and Optative can both get Demo col3, which allows for some fun pairings. You can roll it in with something like Sword Logic or Tricorn depending on which you use. You could even ditch Demo and go with Attrition Orbs, and lean more into getting devour/ability energy from orbs. The Nano-Munitions origin trait is kinda nuts, considering it works while the weapon is holstered, so if you have a Kinetic-slot to swap to on and off, it can save you reloading very often.

[@Gunth0r]

Some alternative weapon loadout options: KINETIC -------------- a) Imperative with demolitionist and osmosis. b) Any other weapon with osmosis, so your kinetic becomes a void weapon too and benefits from the volatile rounds (causing more void explosions) ENERGY -------------- a) Any void weapon with REPULSOR BRACE + DESTABILIZING ROUNDS. Word of Crota is your go to pick (with the additional origin trait explosion inheriting the void dmg). You also have the options Age-Old Bond with another good synergy origin trait, Nessa's Oblation, Vouchsafe, Retold Tale and Persuarder. b) Any void weapon with DEMOLITIONIST + ADRENALINE JUNKIE. (Word of Crota, Unforgiven, Wilderflight) c) Any void weapon with perks combos from (b) and (c). (like Unforgiven and Optative) d) Buried Bloodline. You get Devour and you leech health. What more do you need? Not sure how practical the weapon is, I didn't get it yet. e) Dead Messenger with Demolitionist (craftable version), because it's fun. POWER ------------- a) Chivalric Fire, with REPULSOR BRACE + DESTABILIZING ROUNDS. This ranged sword is so much fun and works really well with this build, but probably a bit too slow firing (animation) for hard content and competitive PVP. b) BrayTech Osprey, a void agressive rocket launcher with IMPACT CASING, ENVIOUS ASSASSIN and BIPOD for up to 5 rockets in the chamber after 11 kills to go do quick damage to the boss. c) Qua Xaphan V, TRIPLE TAP + DESTABILIZING ROUNDS + WILD CARD (submunitions, for even more explosions) d) Any of the 9 void power exotics. They all slap.

[@danmaxie9410]

As a thought. Swap nothing manacles for Contaverse hold, switch from scatter grenade to magnetic. Aspects: feed the void and chaos accelerant. Fragments: starvation, persistence, harvest, and undermining. Mods: Class item: bomber, outreach, reaper Legs: restoration, innervation, stacks on stacks. Chest: charged up, end whatever else. Arms: firepower, grenade kickstart, impact induction. Head: ashes to assets, whatever else. Weapons: revision zero, Bryas love with loose change and destabilizing rounds, and a good rocket launcher as the heavy. You will need 100 discipline. Make sure to charge the grenade. And your done. It feeds itself. Enjoy

[@Sanryu3451]

First ones i can think of is my favorite void exotic graviton lance. But im really liking the smg from duality. Pretty sure it rolls demo and void brace which would do well i think.

[@Kergorn1]

Yeh graviton goes hard on this build, everything is exploding

[@whynononsense9056]

I think vouchsafe is really good, because it has destabilizing rounds and repulsor brace, meaning that if you don’t have volatile rounds at the moment, you can still get a void overshield from repulsor brace.

[@SarcastreauxDestiny]

A solid legendary void weapon for this build could be Age Old Bond. It has repulsor brace and destabilizing rounds. If you want something more up close and personal, maybe Hero of Ages from Iron Banner or Unforgiven from Duality.

[@buzzrelic3097]

Unforgiven (720rpm SMG from duality) Smallbore - light mag - Demo - Repulsor brace - reload masterwork The gun does great damage and feels really nice to use. Being a 720rpm, reload is the main thing that needs improving in PvE so stack into that where you can. Demo being in the first slot is always a great option. The gun has many second slot options that are great (Frenzy, Adrenaline Junkie, Golden Tricorn) but with the constant volatile rounds from grenade kills, repulsor brace overshield alongside devour makes you impossible to kill in high end content

[@Everybeerd]

I used to run a similar build on my void titan, but would run Le Monarch. In the case of crowd control, once you’ve got volatile active from your grenade, then one precision shot from the box and then everything thing goes boom! Found as long as you had volatile active, each le monarch tick was maintaining volatile on the bigger enemies too

[@Trailmix69]

Honestly, I can't help but agree with you about how awesome funnelweb is. It is probably one of my favorite weapons in general and I will take every excuse I can to use it. I also feel like graviton lance would be super fun with this build. While it is just a really good and fun void exotic, it would also fit with the vibes of just causing tons of void explosions all over the place!

[@ryeuhnbrus8287]

That new auto rifle with onslaught and repulsor brace slaps mfers around so good

[@denisdefeo7666]

17:45 Graviton lance !!!!!!!

[@reubenisrael9137]

Travelers Chosen would be a good Kinetic Exotic. If you have the catalyst you will have surplus and osmosis, since you’re throwing so many grenades it’ll be a void weapon most of the time.

[@hooky17]

Only just saw your comment after posting the same thing. Think TC is a great shout for this

[@potatokiller7570]

collective obligation giving you that weaken and volatile per shot from the agility to tie into the ability loop might be very nice

[@ChaosRaych]

Really good suggestion! I don't use Obligation much at all, but I'm glad to see something different than Unforgiven (like 90% of the other comments) lol Another upside to Obligation is that it can Disrupt (aka Overload Rounds) this season

[@hnilsson2812]

Hollow Denial with repulsor brace gives full overshields on all kills after throwing a grenade thanks to echo of instability. You could go wellrounded to build even more into the build, but that might be overkill.

[@Dengodot_]

Word of Crota is great I have demo destabilizing and it’s great, another really good one if you wanna stick with an smg is unforgiven it can get demo with either tricorn or repulsor brace which feels great

[@konnerwilley4844]

If you're willing to burn your exotic weapon, le monarque is absolutely amazimg for this. The reason is that the poison burst from headshots also spread volatile rounds. I don't believe the poison alone can detonate the volatile, but one arrow can prep a whole cluster of enemies and a second is guranteed to wipe em

[@THOBART05.]

I'll probably run the Positive Outlook you get from the void new light quest via Ikora. Comes equip with Vanguard's Vindication Or Omolon Fluid Dynamics, Repulsor Brace, Surplus, Accurized Rounds and Hammer-Forged Rifling. I use it with all my void builds as Repulsor Brace is a must have for me on void builds.

[@playmakerdaniel]

Hi Mactics, one of my favorite primaries for grenade focused builds is The Last Breath with Demolitionist and Osmosis if you are a fan of Autos but if youre a Hand Cannon enthusiast like myself then go with the Judgment Hand Cannon which can also roll with Demo and Osmosis. Both are from the Prophecy dungeon. I am an advocate for Osmosis and think it is truly an underrated perk that synergizes with pretty much anything and even more so with grenade builds. Hope this helps. 😊

[@roadhoggod]

I feel like a good option in the energy slot with demo is unforgiven. It not only gets demo, it gets 3 amazing perks in the secondary column. It gets frenzy, which is a buff that will be up at basically all times and is very solid/consistent, golden tricorn, which is a bit more of a perk you have to build into but the dividends you receive are much higher and with a build like this you will have 2x quite often, and lastly repulsor brace, which is my personal favorite on that weapon, gives you a free overshield on kill while you have volatile rounds (which is basically constant) and it allows echo of persistance to get a bit more bang for your buck by giving you more void verbiage. definitely recommend the demo/repulsor brace roll the most, followed by demo/frenzy. Build seems fun, might have to try it out after im done trying some of the cool solar hunter builds this season!

[@paulhinterberger7438]

I have so many good void legendary options in the energy slot to mention, but I'll try to narrow it down to some of the ones that are easier to get. Any weapons with Repulsor Brace just increase survivability (Echo of Persistance also increases overshield duration from Repulsor). Golden Tricorn is also powerful with the grenade spam. I'd recommend Unforgiven with Demo + Repulsor/Tricorn for SMG, Optative with Repulsor + Tricorn for HC, or even the world drop Ros Arago IV with Repulsor + Onslaught/Tricorn/Surrounded. All good for dif Champion types and activities.

[@etnlCaboose]

I often use a similar build to this with autoloading/chill clip Riptide for champs, G Lance for additional explosions, and a demo/adrenaline junkie corrective measure for ad clear/dps. Absolutely ADORE this build, I was a nothing manacles main back in D1 and use every excuse to use them with funnelweb or G Lance for nearly infinite grenades!

[@wpnott2037]

Run a similar warlock build with Age Old Bond with repulsor brace and destab. rounds. Fun to have overshields constantly and make more things blow up, easy to chain up with devour as well.

[@q-forcegamer5922]

If you want more uptime on "Child of the Old Gods" you could use "The Title" as it comes with the origin trait "Classy Contender". I have been running it with "Thread Detector" and "Repulsor Brace". More uptime on "Child of the Old Gods" will result in more grenade and melee energy.

[@samuelebarbuti2651]

Since you were searching for primary void weapons with demo I'll give you my 2 go-to weapons that i usually use: the first is Unforgiven (source: duality), that can drop with demo in the third coloumn and adrenaline junkie, frenzy or golden tricorn in the fourth; the second one is Word of Crota (source: Crota's raid) wich can be crafted with enhanced demo and destabilazing rounds. Since i've been liking voidlock since year 1 i also have some old weapons with demo, like Gnawing Hunger or Reckless Oracle (the first is obtainable only with xur i think, the second one is still in Garden of Salvetion second encounter). Edit: There is also the new auto rifle world drop that doesn't have demo but can sinergize well with the build, since ti rolls with subsistence or repulsor brac in the third coloumn and onslaught in the secont

[@Belgaer]

Unforgiven with Demo and Golden Tricorn is what you want for the primary. That roll also opens up an alternative way of running the build if you’re interested in trying this out: swap the Kickstarts for 3 Void Weapon Surge. That’ll give you 22% more damage on your SMG, and Golden Tricorn will give you 50%. Couple that with Volatile and Golden Tricorn’s 50% and you can see where that could lead. You could alternatively use adrenaline junkie on the Unforgiven if you prefer that (for most builds, I do, but Golden Tricorn will be even better here).

[@snazzlenuts]

I use a similar build with: Contraverse Hold Chaos Accelerant, Feed the Void Aspects: Remnants, Undermining, Expulsion, Obscurity Main Mods Head: Ashes to Assets Arms: Firepower, Grenade Kickstart Chest: Charged Up Legs: Innervation, Stacks on Stacks Bond: x3 Bomber Fill the rest in to get Discipline up to 90-100 The grenade debuffs large targets, sucks in large groups of adds, and gets your super up relatively quickly.

[@gamingextreme932]

I have a build idea, it's a stasis warlock build. Exotic armour is Osmiomancy gloves.exotic weapon is ager's scepter, any weapon with demolitionist will for primary ammo and a stasis heavy weapon Grenades are cold snaps Aspects are glacial harvest and bleak watcher. Fragments are whisper of Durance, Torment, Fissures, and Bonds. Mods helm Hands on, Harmonic siphon or the siphon of your most used weapon here, and Dynamo. Arms are Bolstering detonation and grenade kickstart. Chest any resistance mods of your choice. Legs Recuperation Innervation Absolution. Bond Bomber 2x and Powerful attraction. Make sure to use your super into ager's to make most efficient

[@springheeledjacques]

Bit late to the party, but imo Unforgiven is absolutely BIS for void grenade builds like this, as it can roll Demolitionist in the third column and Repulsor Brace, Adrenaline Junkie, or even Golden Tricorn in the fourth. Repulsor Brace is especially busted for Sentinel Titans, as it gives you even more shield uptime, which increases your grenade recharge rate _even further_ when paired with Offensive Bulwark. Unfortunately, Unforgiven only drops from the Vault and Nightmare of Caiatl encounters in Duality, so target-farming it is a pain; a much more accessible option is probably Gnawing Hunger. I managed to drop a Reckless Oracle with Demolitionist a while ago, so I've been using that one for void grenade builds on my Titan, and I love it. My main Sentinel build is actually pretty close to this one: Offensive Bulwark and either Controlled Demolition (my fav) or Bastion, and pretty much the same set of fragments-Instability is mandatory of course, and I strongly recommend Starvation for more survivability, but beyond that it's basically your pick. I go with of Undermining for more damage and Expulsion for even more explosions. For exotic armor I think it's hard to recommend anything other than Heart of Inmost Light even after the nerfs, though Armamentarium is also a decent pick.

[@s5ilent]

The weapons would EASILY be Unforgiven from the Duality dungeon, with Demolitionist and Frenzy. One of the best if not the best void SMG in the game

[@Gravity_Flash]

Unforgiven can do quite good with this build considering it can roll with demolitionist in the first slot and then has some other perks in slot 4 that work really well with either demo or void in general like Golden Tricone, Adrenaline Junkie and Repulsor Brace. Both Golden Tricone and AJ work well with the focus on grenades as full x5 stack of AJ for the max damage of that perk on a grenade kill and Golden Tricone with the 15% damage increase per weapon kill which increases to 50% by a charged melee / grenade kill while the perk is active after a weapon kill. Repulsor Brace "can" be considered a pick but with devour being constantly up or rather easy to procc I guess a void overshield of 45 points might be a bit unnecessary. Another reason for Unforgiven is the origin trait "Bitterspite" which gives you more reload speed the more damage you take. It can stack up to 5 times, one stack per 20 points of damage taken and it increases the reload stat by 10 per stack. So even if the weapon might have a rather lacking reload stat this perk still makes the weapon viable for not having to use void reload mods.

[@Lukas_Allen]

If you are wanting an smg, Unforgiven is the first thing that comes to mind. You can roll demo/ad junkie for full generate synergy or if you like the stat bumps you can run frenzy.

[@dgonz6027]

I have an Unforgiven with Demolitionist and Golden Tricorn, which is stupid easy to proc on grenade builds. The small downside is the small magazine but can be bypassed with demo. Adrenaline junkie is a more straightforward and easier-to-proc damage perk (with a lower damage ceiling). Repulsor brace would help tremendously with survivability, especially in higher-tier content where red bars aren't easily killed by a single grenade. With undermining (and void buddy), you're left with plenty of debuffed targets at your disposal to give you an overshield

Primary ammo void weapons: Word of crota handcanon with repulsors brace and destabilizing rounds, or age-old bond ar with the same perks or graviton lance for funny void explosions and massive aoe damage

[@daveowned]

When I want a demo primary I have a subsistence+Demo Gnawing hunger, I have a Handling masterwork on mine. Bonus - I also have a word of crota with Rampage and demo when I want to have a little hand cannon fun.

[@joejanglez]

I personally love my Age Old Bond + Destabilizing Rounds + Repulsor Brace. That overshield comes in handy more than you'd think. Obviously, since you're already proccing volatile through your use of grenades, Destabilizing isn't entirely necessary but it can help with the spread of volatile for sure.

[@Chrystoph1967]

Energy: Unforgiven SMG (Duality) - Demolitionist/Repulsor Brace or Optative HC (Craftable) - Repulsor Brace/Wellspring or Demolitionist/Wellspring depending on how much risk you are willing to accept. Power: Regnant GL (Craftable) - Destabilizing Rounds/Rupulsor Brace These combos add Grenade Energy, can add Overshields, and supplements the build with a self proc source of Volatile.

[@rhettrobertson8183]

With my nothing manacles build I run all blue mods. I run font of wisdom, focus, endurance, and a surge mod. You already get grenade energy on kill with devour up, so slaying out keeps your grenades constantly incoming. I run the same fragments, but I run a single ashes to assets and a void siphon, and a firepower mod, then a stacks mod and double time dilation. You make plenty of orbs, and keeping devour up during heavy ad density encounters is super easy. I have soloed the coil with this with relative ease, the build does suffer when there aren’t any ads to kill.

[@bonjouritsready]

Whilst optional, Conditional really should be the one raid exotic people should try and farm when RoN is in rotation. It really is that good and slots into every build that lacks a dedicated kinetic/exotic to run. Plus it’s just so fun to use

[@jazzf8246]

The classic is Gnawing Hunger on Subsistence Demo, but I think the real power play here is Unforgiven, the SMG from Duality, running Demo + Golden Tricorn. Probably focused on recoil control because that gun feels like it's sliding back and forth on ice.

[@greenprotag]

For Void Primary, The best is probably Unforgiven with Demo & Junky. You could also pair Demo with Frenzy, Rampage, or repulser brace. Given that that roll is slightly harder to obtain, You could ALSO target Farm Word Of Crota. Probably also go for a Demo/ Junky roll and if your RNG is bad you can craft eventually. If you are an old school player and have a seventh seraph side arm lying around with demo that will also work. And finally, one of the easiest to farm is @NielsNuttens suggestion of Gnawing hunger which can now be engram focused with the drifter. When everyone was going CRAZY over Recluse, I was busy wearing contraverse and mowing down enemies in the crown raid with the subsistence & demo roll.

[@taklebury]

Graviton lance - doesn't have demo but does have a hidden feature of turnabout. So you get an over shield when breaking shields and killing enemies sends out more void orbs killing more enemies.

[@Xarcell]

I'd like to see what kind of build you can come up with when using Randy's Throwing Knife with the perks Gutshot Straight and Kinetic Tremors. The neutral game on this weapon is outstanding. I kick it up a notch with Kinetic Siphon/Surge Mods to shoot, proc Kinetic Tremors, move, and repeat. To increase my DPS further, I use Strand & Neocrotic Grip and Melee(for tick dmg/unravel) the enemy before procing Kinetic Tremors. Kinetic Tremors procs so fast on Randy's Throwing Knife(6 shots in 1.5 sec) that once Bungie figures it out, they will most likely nerf it. I also use Grapple grenade and consume before shooting a group of ads for easy ad clear. Also, Vexcalibur is bugged I think. Using shield auto-grants overshield to you and teammates without actually having to block a shot. So I have been using that with RTK. Works great with NG.

[@LordTonzilla]

The new weapon that would be fantastic with this would be the Ros Arago IV with Repulsor Brace and Onslaught. Other weapons would include things like Unforgiven with Demo/Repulsor Brace or Demo/Adrenaline Junkie, Word of Crota has a ridiculous number of good perk combos, The Title with Pugilist/Surrounded (this gives melee and class ability energy but not grenade, but Devour fixes that), if you want more range, Veles X has Repulsor Brace/Golden Tricorn, the reprised Vouchsafe now features Repulsor Brace in column 3 and several good options in column 4, same with Age Old Bond.

[@randomdude6737]

COLLECTIVE OBLIGATION probably would me good with the Echo of undermining to bounce void debuffs and maybe swap COTOG aspect for grenade hold

[@SparkyCat314]

Gnawing Hunger and Unforgiven are both void primary weapons that can get demolitionist. I would probably go with gnawing hunger because of the two mentioned, it can get subsistence and demolitionist. But if you wanted to you could go with Unforgiven and get a roll with demolitionist and repulsor brace to increase survivability even further.

[@rimilhembram1831]

Unforgiven can roll with demo + golden tricorn/rampage/frenzy Since this build uses lots of grenades might as well get 50% damage buff from golden tricorn

[@lordfijor1386]

The White Mage build This is explicitly for team play and especially effective in content where a modifier like Attrition is present. Solar Warlock Featured Exotics: Edge of Intent and Boots of the Assembler Subclass Setup Well of Radiance Empowering Rift Melee of Choice Healing Grenade Heat Rises and Touch of Flame Embers: Benevolence, Torches, Mercy, Searing Mod Setup Helmet - Kinetic Siphon Arms - 2 Grenade Kickstart, 1 Fast Ball. Can be 3 Grenade Kickstarts if you trust your grenade throws Chest - Triple Charge Up Legs - Stacks on Stacks, Elemental Pick Up Bond - Reaper, 2 Bombers Weapons Kinetic - Breakneck or Any Slaying Kinetic Option Energy - Edge of Intent Power - Appropriate Heavy for the content Goal: Ensure your Minorly Suicidal Allies dont die to often. Heal them, keep them alive. Funny Tip: If Riven offers the 500 shard boon which gives you a chance to apply scorch for doing solar damage, take it. Literally take no buffs for the first run levels of take it. You will cause your allies to ignite without hurting them. Its a one time thing, but yeah.

[@sebastiangallegos9617]

Age Old Bond, enhanced repulser brace and enhanced destabilizing rounds, have volatile explosions on top of echo of instability, you will have a consistent over shield for survivability. Plus it’s a weapon that hits hard and can be used in all content from just vanguard strikes all the way to master raids and GMs

[@kingdeophole6252]

Void smg from duality it has demo and adrenaline junkie it's a 750rpm

[@Stinger20638]

This build benefits most from word of crota w/ demo and destabilizing rounds as a primary weapon of choice. Another reason is because of the recent damage buffs to hand cannons. But if you really want to use an exotic void primary, the raid exotic from Vow is one, to preserve an emergency devour. Or graviton lance for the insane add clear.

[@noelbedard8252]

for the void primary weapon, I used to run a similar build using a Hero's Burden with Repulsor Brace, so when I killed targets with volatile rounds that I got from my grenades it gave me an overshield as well as the heal from devour. insanely good survivability

[@HD_COLT]

unforgiven: the duality void 750 smg. can roll demo 1st column and repulsor brace 2nd column. also rolls rampage 2nd column. it’s like a better funnel web but a worse sight

[@SoulOfRaife]

Am i one of the only ones that still rock a Gnawing Hunger god roll? Its still fairly nice. Currently my hunter runs it since i am always the useless one that needs to tether.

[@shayneh8668]

I ran Gnawing Hunger with Swashbucker and Substince with Witherhord as I don't raid a lot. This was a fun build. Thank you for sharing.

[@joecouture1880]

For a void primary weapon, I’d suggest the Unforgiven sub machine gun from the Duality dungeon, it can roll with demolitionist and it served the same purpose as funnelweb! 👍

[@wildjeager]

I use void warlock often for solo flawless dungeons and throw many grenades, and for that, I farmed an Unforgiven with Demolitionist and Adrenaline Junkie. With the original trait, I even get a reload reduction for being in compat if i don't have a grenade ready. Good for ad clearance and yellow bars

[@guardiandown2971]

The “Unforgiven” SMG from Duality would be a good weapon pair for this build. It’s void, and can roll something like demo adrenaline junkie, demo frenzy, or demo repulsor brace. It’s a solid pick overall; I used to run it with a gyrfalcon build on my hunter and it went so hard. Sweet Manacles build btw, Chef has great taste!

[@LoKi6922]

I’ve been enjoying Every Waking Moment with QuickDraw and Firefly for a void sub! Targeted Redaction is one of my fav hand cannons as well.

[@nickmarchant9438]

Unforgiven gets golden tricorn which would have a high uptime with the grenade and melee spam. I know some people aren’t a massive fan of the smg but I think it’s one of those “you gotta get used to it” guns. Love the build videos as always!

[@chocobro7863]

The Unforgiven SMG from Duality can roll Demolitionist. The other slot can roll Adrenaline Junkie too which will work well with your grenade builds. It is my go to void weapon.

[@PigsluvBacon6221]

Might be a tad bit late, but I run a similar build to this one just with Contraverse and Cortext nades. But my personal favorite weapon to run with Seventh Seraph SI-2 with Threat Detector and surrounded. The 35% damaged buff from Surrounded ON TOP of the 22% from Surges ON TOP of the 15% debuff from your grenades ON TOP of the 11% damge buff from minor spec ON TOP of volotile rounds from grenade kills, this weapon eats through red bars like a kid eating Candy on Halloween. And thanks to contracerse and devour, this means I have my grenade up almost 100% of the time.

[@jzapa2730]

I've been using a variant of this build specifically for PVP. I used a crafted targeted redaction with enhanced keep away and enh well rounded, and any heavy for pvp. It slaps in comp and everything. Ability uptime is so high, and scatter nades are slept on.

[@patriotnl09]

I know most people don’t use this but The title with stats for all one for all is amazing for both a good all around smg for add clear and classy contender origin trait for more class ability recharge

[@devonpieper8374]

I've been enjoying my Word of Crota with Destabilizing Rounds and Repulsor Brace on my void builds. Everything blows up and it's constantly giving you an overshild.

[@hunterfrancis7401]

I would highly recommend unforgiven, it has demolitionist in the second column, and you can get either golden tricorn or repulsor brace both would work really well with this build. I have a similar build, I run a Ikelos hand cannon with subsistence, and repulsor brace and it world well with volatile rounds, but you could also get golden tricorn on it and it's cartable. Either are good choices in my opinion.

[@stuffedsomething1699]

Gnawing hunger has always got my vote for crowd clear primary ammo void just because most perks it rolls with are good for tearing through enemies, but I'd be willing to give Optatative a go for attention orbs ability to feed orbs into the original build and the fact it can roll demolitionist and repulsor brace if your looking to drop the orbs strat in favor of more survivability.

[@MikeCRoch]

I generally run one of three weapons. Optative with demo and golden tricorn, gravaton lance, or gnawing hunger with sub and demo. A lot of people hate on 180s but optative with this build is crazy good.

[@itsmehoneycomb]

Shayura's wrath (adept if possible), golden tricorn cooks especially due to grenade usage, and adept big ones for extra damage. Alacrity when you can get it to proc is also helpful.

[@oreztes]

"Optative" might be good. I've been playing around with one that rolled Wellspring and Demolitionist. Double dip on grenade regen that plays nice with the seasonal relic because of the Unstoppable Hand Cannon and Nano-Munitions Origin Perks. I'll definitely try this build out tonight though, it looks fun.

[@namate1285]

One of the best void primary ammo gun for this build would probably be the Unforgiven (Duality void smg) with either Demo + Repulsor Brace (for more surv) or Demo + Golden Tricorn (for more damage), the only downside to this weapon is the reload speed, but with Demo you don't need to worry about it That would be my pick for a Void Primary Ammo gun for this build

I could see some great synergy here with the unforgiven void SMG especially since you can rock the combination of demo + repulsor brace to throw in an extra source of survivability by getting overshields up. Alternatively demo + adrenaline junkie to lean into the grenade focused perks. There are also plenty of damage options but I personally don't see myself doing tons of DMG with an SMG but I'll leave that up to you as an option. To point out a niche but potent one fragile focusing + golden tricorn both get benefits from grenade kills + kills with the weapon.

[@skipventure5158]

Optative with Demolitionist\Wellspring makes these kinds of builds SING in lower end content, where Demolitionist\Golden Tricorn carries in harder content. Totally worth enhancing if you like 180 RPM hand cannons.

[@dormir6210]

I think a harsh language with envious assassin + destabilizing rounds or an unforgiven with demolitionist + adrenaline junkie would pair really well with this build

[@ssynths]

On this build, I would use Unforgiven with Demo Frenzy. On my Void Warlock, though, I run The Title. With Briar Binds, I get infinite Weaken Void Soul uptime. Then, by getting kills, I proc Repulsor Brace on The Title along with the Origin trait, giving 5% class ability per kill. Running Echo of Harvest generates an orb and Void Breach for Weaken kills, paired with Elemental Charge and Insulation for armor charge and class ability energy. For special, I run Scatter Signal with Slice to debuff enemies' damage by 40%. On top of that, I run Utility Kickstart to get class ability back as fast as possible to proc Void Souls and Slice all the time.

[@ElonCard]

Best combo for this build... Unforgiven SMG from Duality with demolitionist and golden tricorn. The damage buff from the full GT buff will make up for when you throw your grenade and actually be doing more damage

[@YuNoReCordHD]

gnawing hunger (600 ar), unforgiven (720 smg), word of crota (180 hc), seventh seraph si-2 (360 sidearm) are all options that have demo as an available slot, imo unforgiven and word of crota seem like strong picks, unforgiven feels like the stronger pick since it has alot of options for the 4th slot(adrenaline junkie, frenzy, repulsor brace, and golden tricorn), i personally like the word of crota more especially with the buff to handcannons recently it feels nice aswell, its craftable and also has great combos.
