Introduction
This guide gives weapons, exotics, and armor mods for a Destiny 2 Strand Hunter PvE Solo Build, intended for all levels of solo content!
Why Should You Play PvE Strand Solo Hunter?
PvE Strand Hunter fulfills everyone’s dream of becoming a super hero, allowing you to fly around with grapples cover large areas in Strand based damage. With multiple choices on playstyles and builds, there is little in terms of things you can’t do with the subclass.
| Pros | Cons |
|---|---|
| Very fun combat cycle | No source of subclass healing |
| Functions without optimized mods | Doesn’t excel in one form of combat |
| Customizable for different content | Subclass exotics are lackluster |
Strand Hunter Solo PvE Playstyle
With a wide variety of customizable and builds available, the PvE Strand Hunter playstyle itself can vary hugely. The main objectives of the subclass is to bounce around the field, dishing out damage when needed and getting back to safety preparing for your next strike.
Abilities
Some abilities, aspects and fragments need to be unlocked before use. In order to do that, Destiny 2 players need to visit Ikora in the Tower and do the related quest or purchase them from her. Lastly, if you bought new aspects and fragments don’t forget to “meditate”. Simply click the “meditate” option on the table next to Ikora.

 Threaded Spike |
Silkstrike – Casting this summons a knife on a rope that we can use to unleash mass amount of enemies over a large area or to a specific target, it also swaps our grenade to a grapple allowing us to move around the battlefield to engage targets or get out of trouble
Marksman's Dodge – This ability will reload your equipped weapon and with our aspects allow you to go invisible. Easily preparing you for the next engagement
Triple Jump – The most common jump for a PVE hunter due to its easy of use and strong control. It also allows hunters to generally go higher and further with their jumps
Grapple – This grenade will allow us to swing forward like a super hero carrying our momentum into enemies or away to safety
Threaded Spike – This melee will bounce around targets, severing them, the return to you. Collecting it when it returns will give back melee energy depending on how many enemies were hit before it returned
Aspects
 Widow’s Silk |
 Threaded Specter |
Widow's Silk – Gives us an additional threadling grenade charge. Also creates a grapple point where we can continually grapple to without using a grenade charge
Threaded Specter – When we dodge, we leave behind a distracting clone, once its destroyed it will detonate releasing some threadlings
Fragments

Thread of Finality : Finishers generate threadlings which just pairs with our build
