Destiny 2 Solar 3.0 Hunter Best Build (2024)

You may be looking for the Destiny 2 Solar 3.0 Hunter best builds. Destiny 2’s Season of the Haunted introduces some reworks for the three guardian classes that change the way they play. They’re still the same character archetype at the core, but they’ve gotten some fancy new makeover in terms of abilities. Here’s the latest for the Solar 3.0 Hunter Guardian.

Best Destiny 2 Solar 3.0 Hunter Build

Here are the best build choices for Solar 3.0 Hunters in Destiny 2:

Solar Abilities

Golden Gun – Marksman: Golden Gun – Marksman will summon a rapid firing flaming pistol in your hands that will disintegrate enemies with Solar Light. Marksman increases the precision damage, overpenetrate your targets, and summon Orbs of Power when you land those precision hits.
Blade Barrage: Blade Barrage will let you jump into the air and throw Solar-charged exploding knives.
Weighted Throwing Knife: Weighted Throwing Knife will throw a flaming knife that does increased precision damage to targets upon hit. If they’re scorched, it will cause them to ignite. Precision Final Blows with the Weighted Throwing Knife recharge your class ability immediately.
Acrobat’s Dodge: Acrobat’s Dodge leaps into the air and creates a radiant well, increasing weapon damage.
Tripmine Grenade: Tripmine Grenades will stick to any surface exploding when an enemy passes through its trigger.

Solar Aspects

Best Destiny 2 Solar 3.0 Hunter Solar Supers

When it comes to Super Solar abilities you have three choices. The Blade Barrage launches exploding projectiles at your enemies and some of your equipment can enhance the effect. You have two choices in Golden Guns, Deadshot and Marksman. The difference between the two is that Deadshot prioritizes rapid-firing and gives you more Golden Gun ammo if you cause ignitions. Marksman is more about precision damage that creates you Orbs of Power.

Best Destiny 2 Solar 3.0 Hunter Class Abilities

You can choose from Marksman’s Dodge, Gambler’s Dodge, or Acrobat’s Dodge. We’ve already seen what Marksman’s and Gambler’s Dodge do, but the new class ability is the Acrobat’s Dodge which lets you leap into the air and land creating a Radiant well that increases weapon damage. You could either go for Acrobat’s Dodge or Gambler’s Dodge which recharges melee ability when dodging near enemies.

Best Destiny 2 Solar 3.0 Hunter Movement Abilities

We recommend going with the Weighted Throwing Knife since it deals extra precision damage and adds ignition to targets who are scorched. A lot of your abilities for Solar 3.0 Hunter build will revolve around ignition. The Lightweight Knife is good if you’re aiming to be Radiant quickly.

Best Destiny 2 Solar 3.0 Hunter Grenades

You have several grenades to choose from but we recommend traps such as Tripmine or Swarm Grenades which are excellent for PVP. But if you’re only interested in PVE aspects in Season of the Haunted, then pretty much any grenade will do.

Best Destiny 2 Solar 3.0 Hunter Fragments

You should focus on Fragments that boost your Solar abilities which will cause more scorched and ignition. The Ember of Combustion and Ember of Beams are great fragments for this build.
