In Destiny 2 many Hunters complained since the release of Witch Queen that their class is now unusable. However, now an Exo makes the Hunter the strongest option regarding the overall DPS of all classes. We will show you how the Hunter does it.
What happened to the Hunters? Many Guardians could hardly wait to finally wreak havoc in Savathûn’s Throne World. But despite their anticipation, the Hunters were skeptical. Thanks to the new ultimate customization of Void 3.0, all classes received the opportunity to shape this Super according to their standards. However, Bungie stated in a preliminary adjustment that some perks of the Nightstalker would also be nerfed.
Hunters sensed something was off and with Witch Queen, many players started to boycott Destiny 2. They were forced to switch to other classes, even though they had remained loyal to their class for years and threatened to strike. A lot of frustration was in the air, but not anymore. A dusty Exo named “Orpheus Rig” suddenly makes the Hunters the best DPS monsters in the entire Destiny universe.
Orpheus Rig – Old Exo, but devastating effect
By using the old Exo boots “Orpheus Rig”, Hunters have new hope that they are not as useless as they initially thought.
What does the Exo do? These boots have the intrinsic perk “Uncanny Arrows”. With this, you receive:
- A little ability energy for each target tethered by the Deathtrap
- You receive one additional arrow charge for your Mobius Quiver.
The additional charge is especially important, as the Mobius Quiver is key to the exorbitant damage. With this Super focus, you fire three arrows at your targeted enemy, additionally, you can shoot these twice. However, with the Exo boots, you can generate one additional shot of three arrows, thus delivering the final blow to your opponent.
Compared to the Thundercrash Super plus Exo with 126,000 damage, the Mobius Quiver can score with 200,000 damage, almost single-handedly taking down any boss straight through. Provided you use the boots and hit all nine shots. Unless Bungie adjusts or disables something for the new raid, the Hunter will be a must-have on Day One.
What do the players say? Players are switching back to their old main class and using the dusty boots anew. YouTube user The Pale Greek has the following to say:
Yes, I have hardly ever used Orpheus or even Void, but I put on the Orpheus Rig without realizing that it gives me a third quiver shot. This will definitely be all I wear until they nerf it, as the Hunter has no endgame DPS.
Even community manager dmg04 from Bungie has commented on Twitter and apparently likes that there are players who try it out first and then criticize.
I have to say, it was quite interesting to see how the feedback switches between “Void Hunters are not great” and “Void Hunters currently have some of the OP builds with the most OPs in D2!” Both sides have great feedback points that need to be consumed and passed on to the team. Thank you to everyone who experiments and gives feedback.
Other players are also glad that the community discovered this combo and are looking forward to finally trying it out. This will especially impact the endgame. Maybe the first raid run will be a walk in the park.
What do you think? Have you tried this combo already or did you know it earlier? Let us know in the comments how you feel about it!
