Why Should You Play Void Warlock in PVE?

PVE Void Warlock is focused on weakening enemies with grenades and constant survival with devour. The object of the subclass is to throw your grenades and kill anything left standing. Since this subclass has access to healing and void debuffs, it’s hard not to enjoy the Void Warlock playstyle. Find out all the details on how to craft, create, and optimize our Contraverse Hold Void Warlock PvE Build.

Void Warlock Playstyle

The following list presents all the essential Contraverse Hold Void Warlock PvE Mechanics and Features in Destiny 2:

• Subclass: Void
• Primary Stat: Resilience
• Super: Nova Bomb: Vortex
• Class Ability: Healing Rift
• Jump: Burst Glide
• Grenade: Vortex Grenade
• Melee: Pocket Singularity
• Aspects: Chaos Accelerant, Feed the Void
• Fragments: Echo of Cessation, Echo of Starvation, Echo of Instability, Echo of Undermining

Abilities

The best abilities for the Contraverse Hold Void Warlock PvE Build are Vortex Grenade, Healing Rift, and Nova Bomb: Vortex. The Novabomb super is incredible for single-target burst damage and area-of-effect damage. The Vortex Grenade pulls enemies in and deals massive trash enemy clearing. Lastly, the Healing Rift is our secondary survival tool.

Nova Bomb: Vortex – Casting this sends forth an orb of void energy that pulls enemies in and deals single-target and area-of-effect damage

Healing Rift – Standing in this rift constantly heals you

Burst Glide – The faster glide allowing you to boost forward extremely fast

Vortex Grenade – Grenade that pulls enemies to its center constantly dealing damage

Pocket Singularity – Launch of small ball of void energy that knocks back and makes any enemy hit volatile

Our Vortex Grenade is the most important ability we use in this build. This grenade with our aspects and Contraverse Hold allows our grenades to deal massive damage and come back quite often. Lastly, Nova Bomb: Vortex is a great super for shutting down high-health targets or dealing with an entire horde of enemies.

Aspects

The best aspects to use with our Contraverse Hold Void Warlock PvE Build are Feed the Void and Chaos Accelerant. Feed the Void provides us with devour after killing a target with a void ability. Also, Chaos Accelerant gives us our Void grenades enhanced functionality.

Feed the Void – After defeating a target with a void ability, we gain devour

Chaos Accelerant – Enhances our void grenades giving them addition functionality

Chaos Accelerant gives our vortex grenades a powerful buff by increasing their size and duration. Also, Feed the Void provides our primary survival tool, Devour, which heals us and gives grenade energy on every kill.

Fragments

The best fragments for our Contraverse Hold Void Warlock PvE Build are the Echo of Cessation, Echo of Starvation, Echo of Instability, and Echo of Undermining. Since these provide us with an additional source of devour, allow our grenades to weaken enemies, and provide volatile rounds to our void weapons.

Echo of Cessation : Defeating volatile targets generates a void breech

Echo of Starvation : Picking up an orb of power or void breech grants devour

Echo of Instability : Grenade kills give volatile rounds to our void weapons

Echo of Undermining : Our grenades now weaken enemies hit

Echo of Undermining is one of the most important fragments for our build. Since Contraverse Hold buffs our grenades already, this provides extra utility by now weakening any targets hit. Also, Echo of Starvation and Echo of Cessation pair together giving us an additional source of devour in between our ability kills. Lastly, Echo of Instability provides our void weapons with volatile rounds to help take out any enemies that survived our grenades.

Weapons

The best weapons for our Contraverse Hold Void Warlock PvE Build are Witherhoard, Funnelweb, and Retrofit Escapade. Funnelweb is the star of the show allowing us to clear hordes of enemies easily when we have volatile rounds. Also, Witherhoard provides an amazing source of single-target damage over time or area-of-effect damage. Lastly, Retrofit Escapade is a sustained-damage heavy machine gun that can be utilized for both clearing trash enemies and dealing boss damage.

Here’s a list of the best weapon loadout for our Contraverse Hold Void Warlock PvE Build:

• Kinetic: Witherhoard, Exotic Grenade Launcher
• Energy: Funnelweb, Lightweight Frame Void Submachine Gun
• Heavy: Retrofit Escapade, Rapid-fire Frame Void Machine Gun

Alternatively, you can run any kinetic special weapon in the kinetic slot. However, burst damage options should be prioritized to balance out the build. The Funnelweb and Retrofit Escapade can be replaced with other void energy weapons depending on preference, playstyle, and content difficulty.

Exotic Armor

The best exotic armor for the Void Warlock PVE build is Contraverse Hold. Overall, these exotic gloves provide two massive benefits. Firstly, the main benefit is that it allows us to get grenade energy back for dealing damage with our grenades. This can lead to an almost constant uptime on our grenades as long as we are dealing damage and have built properly. Secondly, while charging our void grenades we gain damage resistance.

Armor Stats

The best stats to focus on in our Contraverse Hold Void Warlock PvE Build are Resilience, Recovery, and Discipline. Since these provide us with survivability, reduce our class ability cooldown, and reduce our grenade cooldown.

• Mobility: 10
• Resilience: 100
• Recovery: 50
• Disciple: 100
• Intellect: 30
• Strength: 30

Armor Mods

The best armor mods for our Contraverse Hold Void Warlock PvE Build are Ashes to Assets, Grenade Kickstart, and Stacks on Stacks. Since these build into our grenade recharge energy, reduce our super cooldown, and provide us additional armor charges.

Slot	Mod	Mod	Mod
Head	Harmonic Siphon	Ashes to Assets	Ashes to Assets
Arms	Firepower	Grenade Kickstart	Bolstering Detonation
Chest	Resist Mods*	Resist Mods*	Resist Mods*
Legs	Recuperation	Innervation	Stacks on Stacks
Class	Bomber	Bomber	Reaper

Gameplay Tips

This Contraverse Hold Void Warlock PvE Build is about throwing our grenades to help take our entire rooms of enemies. Our grenades pull in enemies, weaken any enemies caught in the vortex, provide us with grenade energy while dealing damage, and give our void weapons volatile rounds and grant us devour on kills. All of this functionality in one skill makes them incredibly potent and with our build, we should have a near-constant uptime on them.

Since we have built-in subclass healing, our rifts turn into a secondary survival tool and can be used to make sure we are healing when not constantly killing enemies for devour. It’s most important to play around with your grenade to keep you alive and provide strong utility for you and your group.
