Welcome to Destiny 2 Void Hunter PvP Build!
Last Updated March 9, 2023, for Lightfall Expansion and Season 20, Season of Defiance. Destiny 2 has gone through a major change with their modding system. Making mods much easier and simpler to understand. However, taking some of the old metas and either eliminating them or making them relevantly the same. For instance, the “well” mods most players have been accustomed to have been completely eliminated, and the only system and combination are based on orbs of power.
The mod loadout you see today will change over time as we become accustomed to new and shifting meta in Destiny 2 Lightfall. This build has been tested and works, so check back frequently, as we will be updating these builds throughout the season and expansion.
Void Hunter PvP Build for Destiny 2
The Destiny 2 Void Hunter PvP Build is indeed the Strongest Class to play PvP. Hunter will always be the best class when it comes to PvP. The Hunter Has low-class ability cooldowns, mobility and invisibility. Hunter also has some of the strongest PvP exotics. Hunter is to play but hard to master.
Playstyle
Void Hunter is all about stealth. Remember even if you are invisible it is not foolproof. You will still appear on enemy radar even when invis but it will appear faintly. Try to surprise your enemies with your Invis. Remember Invis may not work on everyone however you will have an advantage at ranged fights because it is hard to see from range. Dodge away from crowds of enemies so you can rethink your strategy. You can stay invis the whole game if you manage your cooldowns.

Void Hunter has a few essential strengths and a unique playstyle, making it incredibly fun to play. If following “Pros” is what you’re looking for, this is the build for you!

Important Mods
Mod changes in Destiny 2 Lightfall
2 Lightfall Class ModsArmor Modification Change: these mods will seem foreign to returning players with Lightfall changing the entire system. The system you build around now is only orbs of power. You also see an armor charge mechanic and some of the previous mechanics for generating orbs of power and previously used mods. This system is evolving, and we will continue to make changes as we gain a better understanding of the new mod system. Here’s a list of all the current armor mods.
Artifice Armor Change: provides an extra +3 to whatever stat you want this should help you reach these stat goals.
Artifact Change: The artifact no longer provides mods instead it reduces the costs of some of the mods and provides passives as you level up and unlock them. Season 20 Artifact.
