The Nightstalker subclass for Hunters offers some of the best utility skills inDestiny 2. They’re often the ones who clutch runs with their on-demand Void Invisibility, saving the team from a wipe or an unfortunate trip back to orbit. Nightstalkers also have an ace up their sleeve in the form ofOmnioculus, one of the best Hunter Exotics in the game that’s almost mandatory for some Grandmaster Nightfall missions.
It’s hard to understate just how valuable theOmnioculusisinDestiny 2’shardest content. Every Hunter should have one in their Vault, but if you’re not sure why this Exotic armor piece is so beloved, here’s a quick guide on what it’s for and where to get one for yourself.
Destiny 2Omnioculus: What It Does & How to Get It
TheOmnioculusis an Exotic chest piece for Void Hunters that grants an extra Smoke Bomb charge and 50% damage resistance (10% in PvP) while the wearer is invisible. Turning allies invisible also refunds 50% ability energy per ally. Invisibility willkeep enemies from targeting you, but it won’t protect you from stray shots or persistent damage fields. The damage resistance will give you and your teammates a chance to scramble for cover while tanking any hits you might receive along the way.
You can only get theOmnioculusby farmingLegend/Master Lost Sectors, but only on days that drop Exotic chest armor. It’s possible to get anOmnioculusfrom Exotic engrams after you’ve acquired one from a Lost Sector.
BestOmnioculusBuild
Thanks to the super specific role and trigger requirement forOmnioculus, the best way to run this Exotic is with theTrapper’s AmbushandStylish ExecutionerAspects, along with theEcho of PersistenceFragment. This combo extends the duration of Void Invisibility while providing personal and team-wide cloaking.
Trapper’s Ambushlets Smoke Bomb turn allies invisible, granting them the same 50% damage reduction provided byOmnioculus. Also, cloaking at least two allies with one Smoke Bomb will fully refund your melee energy, giving the entire team near-permanentinvisibility for dicey situations. This Aspect also lets you activate Quickfall while midair, debuffing enemies and causing you and allies near the impact point to become invisible at the cost of Class Ability energy. Essentially,Trapper’s Ambushgives the team three ways to become invisible.
Stylish Executioneris preferred overVanishing Stepsince the latter overlaps with Quickfall.Vanishing Stepcan’t make allies invisible, which means you won’t gain any ability energy back. Meanwhile,Stylish Executionerprocs every time you kill a Void-debuffed enemy — this works with debuffs applied byEcho of Undermining(Weaken),Echo of Instability(Volatile), or Destabilizing Rounds. TheCollective ObligationPulse Rifle from Vow of the Disciple works wonders with Void builds that focus on debuffs.
