Gameplay Loop
This build revolves around Invisibility and building ability regeneration for your Snare Bomb.
- Position yourself near one or more allies and activate Quickfall to expend your melee charge and dive to the ground. Check your Trapper's Ambush Aspect for the button bound to Quickfall.
- Enemies caught in the resulting smoke cloud are Weakened and Disoriented, while allies become Invisible and gain 50% damage resistance. With Omnioculus, you also receive 50% Melee Ability Energy for each ally made Invisible.
- Clean up the Weakened enemies using your Void weapon to generate Orbs of Power with Harmonic Siphon. Collecting these Orbs builds Armor Charge, accelerating your Grenade cooldown with Grenade Kickstart.
- Throw your Vortex Grenade at tougher enemies to Weaken them for your fireteam.
- Whenever you don't have full melee charge, Gambler's Dodge near enemies to refund your Snare Bomb and go Invisible.
- Repeat this cycle. The Omnioculus Exotic Chest elevates your Void Hunter's already powerful toolkit by extending your Invisibility uptime with an additional Snare Bomb and incredible melee ability regeneration.

Fragments

Required Gear and Weapons
Omnioculus – This Exotic grants an additional Snare Bomb charge and refunds half a charge when you make an ally Invisible (a full refund if you make 2 or more allies Invisible). It also provides 50% damage resistance for you and your allies while Invisible. Omnioculus on a Void Hunter is an easy way to amplify both your abilities and your team's survivability.
WARNING: Beyond Light DLC is required to unlock the Omnioculus Exotic armor piece.
How to acquire:
- Decrypt exotic engrams at Rahool
- Farm the expert Lost Sector on Chest Armor days.
- Complete the Vex Strike Force Public Event on Neomuna.
Stat Priorities
- Resilience, then Mobility, and then Strength.
- Resilience is the most crucial stat to focus on. Aim for 100 Resilience to maximize your damage resistance and shield capacity, ensuring better survivability in challenging encounters.
- Mobility reduces your dodge cooldown allowing you to recharge your Snare Bomb with Gambler's Dodge.
- Strength reduces your melee cooldown. Dodging near enemies can refund a melee charge, but it's helpful to have high Strength in harder activities where you can't always be near enemies. If your Snare Bomb is recharging frequently, consider shifting some of your stat priority to Discipline to improve your grenade recharge rate.
