Summary
Destiny 2’s Echoes Episode launched shortly after the release of The Final Shape, but not to the same level of general praise due to some recurring issues from the seasonal model Bungie used in the past and new problems that came with the way content is being spread over four months rather than three. One interesting aspect oftime-gated content inDestiny 2’s Episodesis that each Act is supposed to add a row to the Seasonal Artifact for players to pick and choose from to enhance their builds, and Echoes Act 2 does the same. However, Bungie may have gone overboard with this specific row, as it greatly enhances one of the strongest builds in the entire game.
With The Final Shape,Destiny 2builds were taken to the next level thanks to Prismatic subclasses, new Exotics and guns, and multiple sandbox changes. Prismatic subclasses are meant to take a few of the best elements of each Light or Darkness subclass to craft something truly special, which in the case of Hunters meant a kit that includes some of the best melee combos in the game as well as ranged DPS potential. Celestial Nighthawk Prismatic builds came out on top of the meta thanks to incredible DPS when using the new Exotic sniper rifle Still Hunt, and now that specific build is getting even better with Act 2.

Destiny 2’s Hunters Will Have The Best Build in The Game Bar None in Echoes Act 2
Celestial Nighthawk is aDestiny 2Hunter Exotic armorpiece that allows players to shoot a single, powerful Golden Gun shot for immense damage, and not only do Hunters have Golden Gun as a Super on Prismatic, but Still Hunt was released. Still Hunt is one of The Final Shape’s Exotics gained after completing a post-campaign quest involving Cayde-6, and it has its own Super meter that, once filled, players can consume to shoot a few Golden Gun shots. This combines with Celestial Nighthawk for a single shot, making for the best DPS build in the game.
Destiny 2’s Echoes Act 2 makesCelestial Nighthawk Prismatic buildseven stronger, though, and that’s with an array of new Seasonal Artifact perks unlocked with the additional row. These perks are as follows:
Why Celestial Nighthawk Hunter Builds With Still Hunt Will Dominate Destiny 2’s Meta
While Anti-Barrier doesn’t outright make a build better in terms of DPS, it’s added value for general gameplay. More importantly, reduced costs for Scavenger Mods help sustain ammo for DPS encounters, and guns like Still Hunt can benefit a lot from it. The true powerhouse mods in this selection are the latter three, which can makeDestiny 2’s Still Hunt Exoticscorch and then ignite targets for free bonus damage, and then also grant it extra damage on hits on top of that.
Assuming this stacks with the Celestial Nighthawk use of Still Hunt, Hunters will have the best build in the game for DPS bar none, with current Warlock builds using Solipsism with Spirit of Apotheosis and Spirit of Star-Eater being blown out of the water. This buff does affect the newly craftableWhisper of The Worm Exotic sniper rifle inDestiny 2as well, with it getting even more stacks of Sniper’s Meditation due to being a Heavy weapon, but Still Hunt will by comparison be the single best choice moving forward since its ammo economy is better and its damage will be incredible.
