Summary
Q.What are some good builds to use in Destiny 2?
A.Three solid, widely-used builds define the 2025 Destiny 2 meta: a melee-focused Hunter using Liar's Handshake, a Void Warlock with Chaos Reach and Geomag Stabilizers, and a Strand Titan leveraging Melas Panoplia. Each emphasizes ability uptime, strong exotics, and flexible weapon options for PvE and PvP.

Hunter — Liar’s Handshake melee build: Exotic melee-focused Hunter plays off the Cross Counter from Liar’s Handshake to sustain healing and DPS in close quarters. Pair it with Mask of Bakris for defensive plays, and run Melee Kickstart, Elemental Charge, and Surge mods to keep the loop going. Core concept is a rapid melee-dodge chain that survivability and burst through targets; see the Liar’s Handshake pages and community builds for specifics.

Warlock — Void Chaos Reach with Geomag Stabilizers: The Chaos Reach AoE approach is boosted by Geomag Stabilizers (Close Enough), maximizing uptime on the Void subclass. Use Heart of Inmost Light to boost ability regeneration, and favorite weapons like Third Iteration to complement your Void kit. Mods like Volatile Flow, Void Surge, and Utility Kickstart help sustain the cycle. Geomag StabilizersHeart of Inmost LightThird Iteration
Titan — Strand melee DPS with Melas Panoplia: Strand Titans that lean into melee-driven damage can run Melas Panoplia to refresh Hammer of Arrows and trigger close-range bursts. Combine with a strong primary (Thunderlord or other Strand-compatible options) and Melee Kickstart/Heavy Ammo Finder/Surge mods to maximize uptime and frontline presence. Melas Panoplia is a Season 27 exotic gauntlet with Forge‑Master style effects to sustain your hammer and DPS. Melas PanopliaMelas Panoplia (EN)Thunderlord / general Titan loadouts
These builds reflect ongoing 2025 content shifts from The Edge of Fate (July 15, 2025) to Renegades (December 2, 2025), the Year of Prophecy era’s evolving meta. Expect artifact mods and seasonal weapon tweaks to nudge viability, but the core exotics above remain reliable anchors. For context on the latest expansions, see the Edge of Fate and Renegades pages.
