Destiny 2 has plenty of ways for you to create a worthy Void Hunter build for Lightfall and knowing how to is always of great benefit. With other Subclasses such as Strand getting plenty of attention at the moment — you may be feeling left out if you main a Void-based Subclass. Don’t worry, that won’t be for too much longer as this article will take you through how to create the best Void Hunter build in Destiny 2 Lightfall.

Best Void Hunter Build and Setup for Destiny 2 Lightfall

Before you start to choose the aspects and fragments for your build; you will want to decide upon an appropriate arsenal first. The list below will discuss some of the best weapons for you to have equipped with your Void build.

Verglas Curve — Having a combination of both Void (from your abilities) and Stasis by use of this bow will allow you great variety in gameplay. This exotic bow packs a punch for many situations.
Funnelweb — Because of the bow you will be usually working at medium range — the best void SMG will have your back in close quarters. The Funnelweb has made a name for itself throughout the community.
Cry Mutiny — Although this weapon may be overlooked: it is a powerhouse of a Solar grenade launcher. Be sure to Masterwork this weapon as soon as possible for the most effectiveness.

When deciding upon armor we will take into consideration invisibility effectiveness. The reason for this is that when you are invisible it means you can sneak behind enemies to revive other guardians — or get a kill before enemies notice you. Make sure that you have high Resilience; then a balance of Mobility, Strength, and Recovery across your armor by use of Armor Mods.

Graviton Forfeit — This particular exotic helmet will improve your invisibility. It will be of major benefit to you for the strategies mentioned above. Furthermore, this is still extremely useful in The Crucible.
Unyielding Favor Set — For all your other armor slots use the new Season of Defiance armor set which will create Awoken Favors (Dropped consumables to increase stats) in much fewer final blows. The excellent thing is that these all will stack for you. Meaning that you can increase build stats even more during gameplay.

As for your Nightstalker Super, we would recommend the Spectral Blades. They will prove perfect for when needing to clear a swarm of enemies speedily. This will be what you will be doing the most during many missions. If you are planning on taking on a Raid then you may find that Shadowshot: Deadfall is more useful for your super ability as it will allow you to perform high damage on bosses quicker.

Trapper’s Ambush — This will let you dive down to the ground whenever you perform Quickfall in the air. When you hit the ground you will make a smoke cloud. Enemies caught in this are weakened and your fellow allies and Guardians are turned invisible.
Stylish Executioner — Whenever you defeat any suppressed, weakened, or volatile enemy you will gain invisibility and Truesight. The latter will let you see enemies through walls by way of a red pulse.
