Best Destiny 2 Arc 3.0 Hunter Build
Here are the best build choices for Arc 3.0 Hunters in Destiny 2:
Best Arc 3.0 Hunter Abilities
- Gathering Storm: Gathering Storm has you throw your Arc Staff that embeds it to a surface or on large objects. This will jolt nearby enemies around the staff. After a short period, it will be struck by a lightning bolt that overcharges it with Arc energy. While it’s overcharged, the staff hurls lightning at nearby foes.
- Gambler’s Dodge: Dodge to perform a deft tumble, avoiding enemy attacks. Dodging near enemies fully recharges your Melee Ability.
- Combination Blow: This melee ability will trigger health regeneration and increase your melee damage temporarily which stacks up to three times. Upon landing a killing blow with this ability, your class ability is refilled and a small amount of health is restored.
- Skip Grenade: A grenade that splits upon impact, creating multiple projectiles that seek enemies.

- Thunderlord: Final Blows with this weapon create a lighting strikes from above. Very effective against Overlord Champions.
- Coldheart: Shoots a cold fusion powered Arc laser that does more damage the longer it remains on the same target.
- Trinity Ghoul: This weapons fires an arrow that splits upon release. Aiming down the sights and fully charging the bow before releasing decreases the spread of the split.

The Destiny 2 Arc 3.0 Hunter best build relies on lightning themed attacks to thrive. With this build, you’ll be taking full advantage of the Arcstrider subclass that lets you deal massive amount of Arc damage to your enemies. This build quickly allows you to thin down any herd of foes by chaining everyone together with lightning.
Best Destiny 2 Arc 3.0 Hunter Arc Supers
The Gathering Storm is a great Arc Super for destroying a crowd of enemies. This will stick your Arc Staff to pretty much anything turning that area around it into a punishing arena that will jolt enemies around it. After a period of time, your Arc Staff becomes overcharged with Arc and damages nearby foes with lightning.
You can pick to use the Arc Staff as your Arc Super if you want to be more melee focused. However it isn’t as versatile as Gathering Storm so we still recommend it.
Best Destiny 2 Arc 3.0 Hunter Class Abilities
We recommend the Gambler’s Dodge as your pick for this Destiny 2 Arc 3.0 Hunter best build. This will restore your melee upon dodging near closely to enemies. This is great for recovering our Arc melee abilities since it’s a reliable method for getting us amplified.
Choosing the Marksman’s Dodge is also a great pick if you’re preference is in keeping distance. Though Gambler’s Dodge has more utility and functions well with this build.
Best Destiny 2 Arc 3.0 Hunter Melee Abilities
Using Combination Blow will help increase our damage as we continuously conduct melee attacks. This not only triggers your health regeneration, but it also buffs up your melee damage which stacks up to three times. When this is combined with Gambler’s Dodge, we can reliably use it more quickly to dispatch jolted enemies and recharge your class ability.
Best Destiny 2 Arc 3.0 Hunter Aspects
We recommend going with Flow State which helps increase your dodge’s utility. Your dodge will have more durability and recharge quicker allowing you to keep using Gambler’s Dodge to recharge your class melee ability. We recommend pairing this with Lethal Current which does additional Arc damage to targets along with rendering jolted targets blind.
Best Destiny 2 Arc 3.0 Hunter Grenades
The Skip Grenade is a must have pick for this Best Destiny 2 Arc 3.0 Hunter best build. This will seek out your targets and strike them. Combine this with the Spark of Shock fragment, and any target you hit will be jolted which gives you an additional advantage.
Best Destiny 2 Arc 3.0 Hunter Fragments
The best fragments to pick should compliment the build well. We already mentioned Spark of Shock which gives the added bonus of applying jolted to enemies. You can combine this with Spark of Ions which gives you Ionic Trace upon defeating jolted enemies. Spark of Discharge will also help you get Ionic Trace upon landing Final Blows with Arc weapons.
The Spark of Amplitude is also a great pick due to how quickly you’ll eliminate enemies with this build. Upon defeating enemies rapidly, Orbs of Power will spawn around which gives you a significant advantage and allows you to release powerful attacks.
