Destiny 2: Arcstrider Hunter Skills Guide

by on Oct 31, 2017

In this Arcstrider Hunter guide, we detail the sub-classes' super, grenades, and passive trees.

The Arcstrider is the new sub-class for the Hunter, and replaces the Blademaster. As an Arcstrider Hunter you'll be able to utilise an Arc staff, and when active, gain a polearm infused with Arc energy.

As you'll note below, the Arcstrider Hunter gains Grenades which provide greater AOE or single target pressure. In addition, their Jump can be dramatically improved to offer greater distances or a triple jump. Where the Arcstrider Hunters passive trees are concerned, they build on improving the sub-classes damage, or offering much greater sustain. 

Grenades

Arcbolt Grenade: A grenade that chains bolts of lightning to nearby enemies. Flux Grenade: An explosive grenade which deals additional damage when attached to enemies. Skip Grenade: A grenade which splits on impact, creating multiple projectiles which seek enemies.
