Destiny 2 Gunslingers are the Hunter subclass that specializes in the Solar element, and with the latest Destiny 2 Season of the Haunted update bringing in new content that focuses on that specific element, Gunslinger mains and players will have plenty of fun with the new abilities that they can do.

In this guide, we will be talking about the Destiny 2 Hunter: Gunslinger Solar 3.0 Aspects, especially the new tweaks that have been done in some of them.

Gunslinger, Hunters attuned to the Solar element.

Gunslingers currently have three (3) aspects to choose from. Only two aspects can be equipped at a time.

Knock ‘Em Down

For the Knock ‘Em Down Aspect, your Solar Supers are enhanced. Golden Gun – Deadshot has increased duration, Golden Gun – Marksman has increased damage resistance and duration, and Blade Barrage launches more projectiles. While radiant, final blows with your equipped Throwing Knife fully refund your melee energy. It has two (2) Fragment Slots.

On Your Mark

The On Your Mark Aspect, precision final blows grant you and nearby allies increased weapon handling and reload speed for a short duration. Stacks 3 times. Activating your class ability immediately grants maximum stacks of On Your Mark. It has three (3) Fragment Slots.

Gunpowder Gamble

The Gunpowder Gamble Aspect defeats targets with abilities, Solar debuffs, or Solar weapons to change up an improvised Solar explosive. Throw a solar explosive that can be shot in mid-air to cause an ignition. It has one (1) Fragment Slot.
