Since our focus is void weapons as our primary and heavy weapons of choice, we will have massive add clear with the volatile rounds granted from the chest piece.

This allows for a consistent gameplay loop and constant uptimes on damage buffs, add clear, and survivability tools.

Hunter Gameplay Tips

To fully utilize this build, focus on its primary survivability buff, Invisibility.

It’s just as important to be out of invisibility as it is to be invisible. While invisible, we are nearly invincible, making it very difficult for enemies to hurt us. After leaving invisibility, we gain access to volatile rounds and can clear entire rooms of enemies. Balancing this interaction is the most important part of understanding and perfecting this build. Should you run into danger, you have a few options for survival: dodging for invisibility, killing an enemy to gain devour to heal you, or finishing an enemy while invisible to gain a void over the shield.

Moreover, it’s important to not horde our abilities waiting for the absolute opportune moment to use them. We have multiple ways to regenerate our abilities so it’s better to use than to die with them. Use grenades and melees whenever they are available to assist with killing enemies as they work in tandem with our build. Use Marksman’s Dodge to reload your weapons and become invisible, which plays into your exotic perk. Consequently, you will be able to deal damage continuously without reloading. Use your super whenever you encounter a boss, a large health enemy, or when overwhelmed with adds, especially when outnumbered.
