Greatest Hunter Build Ever! Dead Messenger is a Nuke | Please Don’t Nerf This Bungie | GM Foothold

#destiny2 #bakrishunter #tier5 #hunterbuild
This is the craziest Hunter build I’ve ever played — Mask of Bakris + Dead Messenger is completely broken after the new buffs! Dead Messenger just received a 200% weapon damage increase, and when paired with the newly buffed Mask of Bakris, you unlock a loop of nonstop dodges, massive weapon damage bonuses, and insane survivability that dominates even -40 Power Grandmasters.

Here’s why it’s busted: Mask of Bakris now grants a dodge every 2 kills (with around 70 Mobility to keep the loop flowing). Every dodge creates a Strand clone, filling the map with distractions and giving huge survivability. Each dodge also gives a stack of Feast of Light (up to ×3), boosting Arc & Stasis weapon damage by 10% per stack. Add in Dead Messenger’s Fundamentals perk (+30% weapon damage while Amplified from an Arc Super), Radiant (+20%), and Weapon Surge mods, and you’ve got a setup that can nearly one-shot Champions at contest-level power.

To make it even tankier, Dead Messenger also grants an Overshield when breaking enemy Overshields, stacking survivability with your Strand clones and dodge loops. It’s not just damage — this build is tanky, safe, and still absolutely shreds everything.

🔹 Build Core:

Exotic Armor: Mask of Bakris → Feast of Light stacks = Arc/Stasis weapon damage buffs + dodge loops

Exotic Weapon: Dead Messenger → 200% damage buff + Fundamentals perk for +30% weapon damage while Amplified

Subclass: Arc Hunter → Amplification, Radiant, dodge loops, Strand clone generation

Weapons:
• Mint Retrograde (Pulse Rifle) → Anti-Barrier
• Dead Messenger (GL) → Champion shredder / ad clear / exotic DPS
• Chill Inhibitor / Bitter/Sweet GL → Extra Arc/Stasis synergy with Mask of Bakris

🔹 Why This Build Works:
✔ 200% Dead Messenger buff = insane DPS & ad clear
✔ Mask of Bakris gives dodge on 2 kills → Strand clone spam fills the map
✔ Feast of Light ×3 = 30% Arc & Stasis weapon damage boost
✔ Amplified + Fundamentals = +30% more weapon damage
✔ Radiant & Surge mods add another 20%+ on top
✔ Breaking Overshields with Dead Messenger grants Overshields for survival
✔ Nearly one-shots Champions in -40 Power Grandmasters
✔ The strongest, and most fun Hunter build I’ve ever used
