Destiny 2 Still Hunt Frostpulse PvP Build

How This Build Works

The core loop: use Frostpulse (Shadebinder aspect) to freeze enemies near your rift, then land Still Hunt headshots on frozen targets. Each freeze-plus-headshot generates 3 orbs of power (4 every 3rd kill), charging Still Hunt to 50% per headshot. With super mods stacked, you can get your first super before the score hits 45, and chain 3 supers in roughly 90 seconds.

This is the heart of the build. The goal: freeze with Frostpulse, headshot with Still Hunt, generate 3 orbs per kill (4 every 3rd). This charges Still Hunt to 50% with one headshot.

• Reaper Class item mod. Melee kill after class ability spawns orbs of power.
• Whisper of Bonds Fragment. Defeating frozen targets spawns orbs of power. Costs -10 super energy.
• Crystocrene 2-piece Armor set bonus: Resupply (weapon progress + orb after combat). 4-piece gives Frost Armor.
• Nezarec's Nightmare 2-piece Bad Dreams: final blows on debuffed targets have orb spawn chance. Dream-Devourer gives Devour on finishers.

• Distribution x2 Class ability used near targets reduces all cooldowns.
• Dynamo x2 Class ability used near targets reduces super cooldown.
• Timelost Magazine Origin trait on weapons. Final blows grant bonus super energy when super is active. Extra bonus on primary kills.
• Super Stat Target 100 super stat if possible. The Stag provides rift recovery for sustained uptime.

1. Play Normally for Primary Kills

   Use your primary weapon for normal engagements. Timelost Magazine rewards consistent kills with bonus super energy. Do not tunnel vision on the combo.

2. Bait with Frostpulse

   Place rifts near common engagement zones: corner peeks, shotgun rush lanes, radar pings. Frostpulse sends a freezing shockwave from the rift, freezing nearby enemies. Use it aggressively but smartly as your close-range tool.

3. Headshot Frozen Targets with Still Hunt

   Once an enemy is frozen, immediately land a Still Hunt headshot. This generates 3 orbs (4 every 3rd kill) and charges Still Hunt to 50% per headshot.

4. Manage Orb Pickup

   Do not pick up orbs while Still Hunt is already charged. This wastes orb energy. Let orbs sit until you need them for the next super cycle.

5. Pop Still Hunt and Chain

   After charging via headshots, activate Still Hunt. Chain kills during the super for even faster subsequent supers. With this setup, you can get 3 supers in roughly 90 seconds.

• Frostpulse timing: Use aggressively but as bait, not random casts. Set up rifts at corner peeks, shotgun rush lanes, and radar pings. It is your shotgun replacement for close-range freezes.
• Armor pieces: Prioritize the 2+2 set bonuses (Crystocrene + Nezarec's Nightmare) over perfect stats if needed for the orb generation loop.
• When to pop Still Hunt: After charging via headshots. Chain into more kills for faster subsequent supers. Do not hold it too long.
• Exotic helmet: The Stag over alternatives for rift synergy and survivability in PvP. Rift uptime is essential for the entire loop.

• Picking up orbs while Still Hunt is already charged, wasting orb energy entirely.
• Poor Frostpulse baiting: random casts instead of using radar and corner manipulation to set up freezes.
• Ignoring rift uptime. The Stag plus Distribution and Dynamo mods fix this, but only if you actively use your class ability.
• Over-focusing on the super combo and ignoring primary play. Timelost Magazine rewards consistent primary kills with bonus super energy.
