The class has been dominating PvP in The Final Shape, with 54% of Trials of Osiris participants playing Hunter for the weekend beginning July 26, as tracked by Trials Report. However, it turns out meta Hunter builds are even deadlier than first believed, with Khepri\u2019s Sting proving incredibly potent when coupled with Grapple and Smoke Bomb using the Prismatic subclass. As detailed by Destiny expert Aztecross, \u201cWhen we Grapple and Melee, the moment we make contact, we deal a tremendous amount of damage, but punching someone with full melee energy also instantly casts Smoke Bomb,\u201d which is extremely strong as the Smoke Bomb will \u201cfinish the enemy off.\u201d In practice, this results in a \u201cone shot\u201d kill, with the Smoke Bomb\u2019s AOE damage leaving Guardians no time to escape their inevitable death. Being able to Grapple and Melee for an instant Final Blow provides a lethal attack, giving Hunters yet another great option to use in PvP. Even better, Final Blows using Grapple always spawn a Tangle. When coupled with the Threaded Blast Echoes Artifact mod, this Tangle can also one-shot Guardians, with an effective range of seven meters. To make this as powerful as possible, it\u2019s recommended to use a Strand primary weapon. This allows you to instantly destroy the Tangle, rather than having to fire several shots to do so. Some of the best PvP Weapons for Strand right now include Aisha\u2019s Care, Better Devils, and Glissando-47. This strategy proved particularly effective in Trials of Osiris, with Aztecross going 5-0 in his first game using Khepri\u2019s Sting. The competitive mode\u2019s smaller 3v3 format plays to the Exotic\u2019s strengths, with a single kill often turning the tide of an entire match. While Khepri\u2019s Sting is very good, there are some caveats. Most notably, when meleeing an enemy against a wall, Grapple doesn\u2019t deal bonus damage. Additionally, the Hunter Exotic is much more consistent if you Grapple an enemy directly, which considerably raises the skill floor to use this combination properly.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u201cOne Shot\u201d Destiny 2 Exotic makes Hunters even more dominant in PvP DexertoAn incredible combination using an overlooked Destiny 2 Exotic allows Hunters to one-shot enemy Guardians with a single melee attack.
