Destiny 2: all Hunter Nightstalker subclass skills and abilities

Destiny 2 brings back The Taken King’s Void Hunter subclass. Hello, Nightstalker two-point-oh.

Bungie kept it as quiet as it could, but the leaks were correct, and Destiny 2 release day has let the cat right out of the bag. There is a third subclass for each class, and yes, it’s those good old Taken King favourites.

The Nightstalker is the last of three Hunter subclasses you’ll unlock in Destiny 2, and you’ll find its worth the wait.

We have full details of the two upgrade paths, and PvP hounds will be pleased to see that the three-shot Super option is still in place in Destiny 2. It takes skill to use this well, but in the right hands its deadly. You’ll want Way of the Pathfinder for that one – which is also where you’ll want to hang out if you like to generate orbs for allies.

On the PvE side of things, it looks like the Way of the Trapper is all about controlling the battleground, with increased mobility, an improved radar and two kinds of trap.

Both paths bring back the Smoke Bomb melee, so enjoy beaning your foes in Destiny 2. Both also give you an opportunity to turn invisible. Oh yeah.
