This Hunter Build Carries LFG Grandmasters! [Destiny 2 Strand Hunter Build] 

I hope you all had a great Christmas if you celebrate! 😊 Thank you for a great 2023 on the Channel!!!

I'd love to see that series Plunder. Too many people think there's only 1 way/ 1 meta for grand masters and high end content. We need more people like you in the community showing people thats there's more than 1 way to play. 🎉❤

Oh hey! That’s me! I’m the one that got hard carried! lol this was my first GM ever!!! Thanks for this carry so much! I actually got 2 Undercurrent (adept) GL’s!! Now I’m subscribed!! Great content!!

There’s absolutely a place for a Will it Carry series from you! Mactics has Will it Build. Goldexgle has Can it Go Flawless. You’re one of the few build crafters who show builds in actual endgame content. It only makes sense

I would really enjoy more videos like this. A lot of build crafters only post videos that excel in solo content. A lot of those builds struggle a bit in team content because they never get into the required pattern of kills, orbs etc. this showcases a great and useful build that can work and carry in a team environment. Keep up the good work!

I’ve been running sixth coyote for my strand build ever since they buffed threaded specter and I love it. Very happy to see it getting some love now

I love how you are using Final Warning. It is so slept on. It's my most used primary this year by far.

Just recently discovered your channel. I'm only a few min in my first video, and I know right off the bat, I'm gonna love your content. I'm 45yrs old and an avid gamer. Although I would absolutely love to go all out with D2, my job and family make doing so almost impossible. I am able to keep myself right at or just below endgame level. I am currently at 1810. I was actually doing pretty good until the chaged up the way you get pinnacles. Now, leveling is extremely hard for me. Raids, dungeons, and other crucial endgame activities are out of grasp. As an EMT I am always on call and work crazy hours. Keeping a clear schedule is hard, so being able to set a side a number of hours to do a raid is impossible as I could easily get a call and have to leave. Legendary lost sectors used to be my only viable for getting good exotics, but now I can't. A few months back, I had to take about 2 months off because of work. When I returned, the pinnacles were changed, and I was 30 levels off where I needed to be for the legendary lost sectors... I haven't been able to get back up to par. These videos... Your videos (and other channels) are helping me get back to where I need to be. I absolutely love Destiny's universe and rich lore. Not being able to experience the best story beats offered in raids and dungeons really sucks. It's not the crazy good gear, titles, badges, or bragging rights that endgame content interests me... It's the story and the experience that I crave. Sure, I can watch the cutscenes and listen to the dialog in RU-vid videos, but that's just not the same at all. I tried that, and all it did was make me extremely bitter. Knowing that there are Guardians out there who are willing to help people like me to have and share in those beautiful and exciting moments of Destiny's story really warms a gamers heart. I haven't tried out the new LFG finder yet. I've been scared that I would get kicked or bullied out of the activity due to me being under level and not properly equipped... Now, I just might give it a try. Thanks for the video, and especially thanks for helping out Guardians like myself and other gamers who truly love Destiny and want to experience the endgame, but unfortunately don't have the time to grind out the necessary gear needed to play it... Thank You, Thank You, Thank You!

This is the stuff i like to see something simple that works. GM builds dont need to be over complicated just follow the fundementals to get it done. Dont get me wrong some builds in the game are nuts but only really work in mid to low content. But something like this is fantastic in high end content. Excellent as always.

The BB's scrambling to get to cheese and PTB ignoring the revive is hilarious 😂

This has been my build all season, solo flawless WR included, but in the energy slot I had Judgment of Kelgorath is wellspring and demo, unlimited dodge and grenade, slow glaive reload negated from demo. The buff this season to glaive projectile speed with JoK being aggressive makes it a beast in gm, one tapping most red bars. You can even match your surge with apex predator.

I’ve been using this almost exact build all season, biggest difference is the weapons. I’ve got an onslaught/ slice IB AR witch allows sever everything each time I drop a decoy. This frees up my exotic slot to equip dragons breath, which pairs so well with the bet blades because you can do all of your boss dps complete safe from damage behind cover. Only other difference is I like rocking dynamo on the helmet because with the decoy you can easily get close to enemies and safely dodge away. This build has such insane survivability with the decoy. I was a gyrfalcon main up until i found this build and decoy > invisible in pve everytime. You essentially turn your whole team invisible from anywhere in the map!

That's a yes to that series, running a stacked team is flattering, running with randoms is a great test

I've been using a similar build since last season, I'm so happy to see it finally getting real attention from real buildcrafters that can improve it and optimize it in ways I never could.

Love how the others come crawling out of the shadows when the boss is dead and you're standing right next to him 😂😂

I was surprised how well this worked on Birthplace of the vile Gm (with ended as primary instead due to unstops.) I never used the the threaded specter aspect before. I didn’t think it’d be that affective. Was trying to think of a strong strand build but too many scarabs for a banner of war titan to really shine. Thanks

One of my strand builds similar to this uses final warning and it’s a shame people don’t realize how strong this weapon is. Thing absolutely shreds.

People who say builds don’t matter don’t think they use them. Anything that synergizes could be considered a build. If you take it a step further and do it on purpose, it does a lot of heavy lifting. Of course, anybody could sit in the back with a scout rifle and chip slowly at enemies.

I have been using almost this same build for a while now but haven't used it with Final Warning much, I will give it a shot. I have been using a Slice + Onslaught Lethal Abundance. When I dodge I will apply sever to enemies with my next shot, then defeating that enemy will create a tangle since it was debuffed, then that tangle becomes a whirling maelstrom. It is pretty solid for tangle generation and crowd control though the damage output could be better. Final Warning puts out damage so worth a try.

have been running this build since last season, threaded specter is so strong and fun

Hey plunder, don’t know if you’re going to see this, but an incredibly safe and borderline cheesy way to use it is to charge it so that the red square appears, duck behind a corner and just spam tap fire once charged; this makes it arc aggressively around the corner

This is an AWESOME series idea! I love the idea of playing support or, of course, even carrying teammates. Keep these vids coming!

You and Mactics are my favorite

Am I first lol. Also nice vid

I think this works well if going solo but if your fireteam already clearing the adds your decoy pretty much already useless. If you really carrying blueberries and they absolutely can’t even kill red bars then theoretically this build would work.

Great series idea...love this...LFG 'carry' using an approachable build that doesn't require hard to get exotics or whatever. Nice job.

Taking the extra time this season to review/update old builds or even creating a 'Making a build for every Exotic' series might be neat. Might find some sleeper builds or the plain goofy. It'd be interesting to see the concessions you need to make just to justify the build as some Exotics are just bad. Could be interesting/different way to play though

A series would be great, call it “Sailing through LFG”

Been really enjoying Final Warning on my Strand hunter build. I will say I wish the clone didn’t explode when taking damage or targets are near - I wish it purely just drew aggro for a specific length of time. But then it would be useless in PvP 😅. But imagine the Surrounded strats you could employ if that was the case! Wish you could choose to heal the clone - maybe rifts and healing grenades could work on it!

Thx for the shout-out 🥰 Glad you like it.

Merry Christmas everyone! Hope yall have a great new year too!

Love your vision and attitude my friend! I am a new Destiny 2 player and it can be a challenge.. you’ve earned my subscription.. happy hunting!

I've been using the Bombardiers with strand, it still leaves the decoy but now leaves a bomb that severs targets, and once the bomb explodes it blows up the decoy and releases three threadlings.

I switched out thread of rebirth for thread of continuity and this is absolutely my new favorite build!!🔥🔥 Good find once again Plunder🤙

That sounds like a great idea for a series would love to watch it hope you had a merry Christmas plunder

I've been using the radiant dance machines with my strand Hunter. Dodge to refresh melee charge use melee charge to get kills, kills extend multi Dodge

I’d love to see the series bro

'Does this build carry?' as a title for a series goes unnecessarily hard

I spy Final Warning. I absolutely love that gun for high end content, it punches so far above its paygrade that it can be used as a champion killer.

“Ashen Wake on the void Titan” I swear the people who queue for LFG are not real people, they’re bots. Thank you Plunder for this video.

What a great build! Just put it together and I love it!! Thank you for the awesome content you do and the builds you put together, it really makes D2 a lot of fun!

After watching the gameplay footage all I can think is Rooster saying, "it's not the plane, its the pilot."

The series should be called "Can it Carry?" that would be so cool and I would definitely watch it

Honestly think its a good idea to create a series that brings some light to other gm builds. Lost count of the amount of times i saw dawn chorus warlock w/polaris. Dont get me wrong it recks on the adds. But it adds on to how meta based this game has gotten.

I literally wrote a comment last night on your last strand build asking you to work this gun into a build. That’s good timing!

I would like to see that series for GMs and possibly raids. Enjoying the builds/videos.

If this means you’ll be posting more builds, then I’d love a new series! Merry Christmas!

thanks for the build! Going to make it and try it out now. I've been looking for something that works in a group cuz the one I have now is just for solo XD

Didnt realize the aggro on threaded specter was so strong. I always use my melee to blow them up immediately to kill nearby enemies and unleash some threadlings on them. I run a similar build also with six coyote but with 2 threadling grenades instead and I've always just used it for its huge ad clear and fast ability spamming capabilites. Those threadlings deal a ton of damage so with the fragment of generation you get your grenades back super quick and you make so many orbs due to the huge number of grenades and melees you throw out with gamblers dodge and six coyote. Ive never used it in gms though. Its always been my just for fun build but seeing how you were able to clear a gm so easily while carrying i might give it a shot. I probably will have to swap out my threadling grenades though. Main reason I'd never use it in harder content is due to the lack of built in anti champion abilities.

With how Final Warning apply Unraveling debuff on its own, Bungie should just make it Anti-Barrier with the full charge. Great video btw.

Good idea for the series. 🎯🇺🇸

The RDM build he made a couple seasons ago is still insanely good

The Build Master is unstoppable! Great build!

I’m here for all these builds. Ty Plunder!

This build is literally Loki’s Decoy ability on Warframe! Nice build brother!

Ok I have to admit this build changed my gameplay I play even better now but I still use Osteo Striga instead of the Final Warning because Osteo Poisonous enemies and i used this gun to defeat Calus & the Tormentor on Lightfall campaign, My Osteo Striga is level 48 now so I should be fine with your build

I would love to a series called Will This Carry Me To GMs Plunderthabooty and thanks for all your hard work!

Sounds like a good video series. A good video playlist as well once you make quite a few of them

All your builds are straight fire but I’m having fun with golden gun shooting over 999 is just so powerful

My only issue with mobalytics is there’s no date on the builds so you don’t really know how old they are or when/what season they were uploaded

I thought the kickstart mods didn't work with abilities that had multiple charges, since they specified that they only refund energy when your charge is "fully expended". And since you technically have a second charge reloading in the back, the game never sees it as fully expended.

Welcome back to another "Does it Carry" build episode with PluderthaBooty!!! I think it works bro! Thanks for the great video!

I ran Celestial Nighthawk with blade barrage last weekend. Carried my team until they left😂

Been using threaded spectre, sixth coyote, thread of ascent and a bipod rocket, 8 back to back rockets

Love u plunder keep em coming

Perfect way to showcase a build. I can't stand when people create a build and call it "broken" "busted" etc, and then use cheeses and skips. No crap that's easier for farming, but the point of the video was to show the build stands up against difficult content. I've seen so many streamers, in this Nightfall in particular, create a build and skip the tormentor and then fight the boss from the roof.....you don't need a build for that. Polaris lance and 30 minutes is all you need. Great vid Plunder!

I just wish the decoys have a 2-3 seconds grace period. Spawning a decoy and have it destroyed 1 second after spawning it because there are more than 3 ads shooting at it just doesn't feel good since you mainly want to use it when there are a lot of ads.

awesome build! thank you 🤟

Weird how my Add clear strand build is posted as a GM end game meta build ….. I LOVE IT

I wanna see a build series like this, GMs are the next challenge on my list

My lfg experience has be awesome honestly! And yeah i think i like this series idea

How do you deal with the 2 flying ships that shoots you missiles ? They are hella tanky and ur guns doesn't do much against it, or i m missing something ? Id like to know cause i use the new exotic bow and a sniper to destroy them, but with pistols tho...

Love the build! If you do the series you should call it "Backpack Builds" since you're tossing the blueberries right in for a carry :P

I’d love to see a series based around this idea!!! Great idea

I personally like using the quicksilver storm cause the grenade launcher creates tangles

ya this could be a fun little series

I just made a hunter the other day so doing the story and all the past stuff with this build should mKe life easy lol

Yes some appreciation for final warning at last ✌🏻

In lower level content, dance machines works well for this build

Any way you can toss this build on mobalytics? Not sure why but dim always messes me up. Keep up the great content!

You know I can't believe that you are using same build that I have been using since the start of the season for endgame activities. This build basically allows you to play aggressively out in the open in gms.

Really hope we get a banger strand hunter exotic in TFS!

Make this a series yes its really great

Such a great build had so much fun with it !!

Plunder is the man. Love the builds dude

Nice . Finally a videos without cheesing the boss. very nice

Brother just hit F1

Doesn’t that exotic strand sidearm do bonus bodyshot damage when damaging a targeted enemy but not aiming in? • Why were you aiming in on that final boss if he’s teleporting everywhere with a shield and a very small crit??

Sounds like a good series

You casually solo'd that boss room 🤣

am just wondering which stats i need to make 100 in this build you never showed as your character at all :\

Yes, start a series like this. Looking for a good warlock build

What about mechanics sleeves which boost side arms? If you were to run that load out? I know your going for the dodge but does it leave behind 2 decoys? Wouldn't the boots that give you multiple dodges in succession work as well?

You fireteam was trying to cheese the boss!

This seems like a really good build for gambit too. 😮

This is what I need thank you

3:30 why r u peeking with final warning. I havent used it much but it though u can shoot aound corners when u mark targets. Isnt that an unnecessary risk or am i missing something?

Not using final warning correctly. If you manually tap the trigger after the lock on reticle appears its much better dps

I rock a very similar build, except I use FoeTracer!

I put 2 guardians in my backpack 💀💀💀 In the lfg, i found a guy, and i kid you not, using liars handshake on stasis hunter. I will be real this footage doesnt feel like grandmaster but it is
