We present you a build for Destiny 2 that can completely recharge your Super in about 30 seconds if used correctly. This method also works for other classes, although not as quickly. What is needed and how the community reacts can be read here.
This is what the build can do: With Shadowkeep, some changes have been made to the Destiny 2 sandbox. This includes adjustments to the stamina and recharge rate of the Super abilities of individual Guardian classes. Overall, Bungie wants players to wait a little longer for their most powerful ability without an optimized build.
With the presented build, you will have your Super available much more often than with many previous setups.
This is how the build is structured
These armor pieces you need: To use the build optimally, you need a combination of old armor pieces and perks that you collected before the third year of Destiny 2 and new pieces that comply with the “Armor 2.0” standard that became available with Shadowkeep.
Very important for the build is an “Armor 2.0” class item (Hunter cloak, Titan mark or Warlock bond) and a Year 2 leg armor. The specified armor pieces must have certain mods or perks.
These mods and perks you need:
- Distribution reduces the cooldown of all abilities when the class ability is used.
- Dynamo reduces the cooldown of the Super when the class ability is used.
- Paragon Mod accelerates the cooldown of the class ability. This is a universally applicable armor mod and can be installed in all “Armor 2.0” armor pieces for 4 energy.
Your goal should be to have the mod “Distribution” 3 times in your armor. Once, it is located as a perk on the Year 2 boots. In your “Armor 2.0” class item, you can install the mod twice.
If you don’t have boots with Distribution or the appropriate mod, switch to Dynamo. This works very similarly.
In all other armor pieces, you should use the “Paragon mods”. The abilities of these mods are stackable and interact with each other in their functionality.
This is how you play the build
This is how to get your Super back in 30 seconds: To significantly reduce the Super cooldown, you use the Hunter and his synergy with the class ability “Gambler’s Dodge”. With each dodge, you gain about one-eighth of your Super energy and your melee ability back thanks to the presented combination.
Ideally, you use:
- the middle Gunslinger tree “Way of a Thousand Cuts”. This subclass grants you energy for your class ability as long as enemies are burning. Conveniently, your melee is a fan of burning throwing knives, which allows you to set enemies on fire.
- The upper tree of the Arcstrider “Way of the Warrior” works well too. With this subclass, dodging recharges your melee, and melee kills fully recharge the dodge.
Both classes have their class ability available almost permanently as long as enemies are nearby. As a result, your Super should be ready in 30 seconds.

What about other Guardian classes? Titans and Warlocks also benefit from the presented combination. However, their class abilities (barricade and rift) take significantly longer to become usable again. Because the Hunter’s dodge roll has such a short cooldown, this class has the best synergy effect in this case.
In short: You can also significantly reduce the recharge time of the Super with other classes – albeit not as much as with the Hunter.

This is what the community says: The Guardians’ reaction is divided regarding the new discovery. Via reddit, some players express their excitement about the combination. Some Guardians want to replicate the build immediately and hope to still have suitable Year 2 armor and mods in their vault.
User 318Reflexion writes: “I hope I kept a pair of boots with Dynamo.” Other users praise the creativity and jokingly note that the combination of old armors and new 2.0 armor creates a new category. So Phantom-Phreak writes: “1.0 + 2.0 = 3.0”.
However, some players are not as enthusiastic and have concerns about game balance. JustMy2Centences says: “And Gambit is broken again.” The word “broken” appears frequently in the discussion about the build. Sora101Ven writes: “Holy Mother of God, this is so broken.”.
In conclusion, some Guardians cannot help but lament like user Pulkogyerek: “Of course, it’s the Hunters again…”.
What do you think of the combo? Have you kept any old armor pieces to try out the build?
