Effective Destiny 2 Warlock Build for Maximizing Slayer’s Fang in Act 3

The Destiny 2 Act 3 exotic weapon, known as the Slayer’s Fang shotgun, has emerged as a standout feature of the Revenant Episode, despite some initial trailer issues. While a powerful Titan build utilizing this weapon has already been showcased, Hunters and Warlocks may feel somewhat overlooked in the current meta.

For Warlocks, however, there is a promising alternative that offsets the frustrations linked to their jump mechanics. This build, termed Slayer’s Sidekick and brought to you by renowned YouTuber RestAssured, concentrates on crafting a Void Warlock capable of surviving the rigors of endgame activities while efficiently dispatching hordes of adversaries.

As detailed on RestAssured’s YouTube channel, this build capitalizes on the Contraverse Hold Exotic, which enhances your ability to charge grenades. Here, the focus is on the Magnetic Grenade—an ideal choice for Voidwalkers seeking to maximize damage output.

The build employs the Pocket Singularity melee ability, with the Chaos Accelerant aspect playing a crucial role by reducing grenade cooldowns. Kills made with grenades will further assist in replenishing melee cooldowns when paired with the Momentum Transfer mod, a highly cost-effective option at only one energy when combined with the Authorized Melee: Mods artifact perk.

Another vital aspect, Feed the Void, provides accelerated healing and grenade recharge rate. This emphasis on maintaining a constant flow of grenade abilities is crucial for any high-performing Warlock arsenal.

Additional recommended perks include Power From Pain, The Thick of It, Supernova, Frenzied Hunger, Old God’s Rite, and Void Renewal. Together, these components create a synergy that allows players to dish out significant damage while pairing seamlessly with the Slayer’s Fang shotgun, effectively cutting through large groups of enemies.

Enhancements provided by the selected fragments—such as the Echo of Cessation which triggers volatility upon finishers, and Echo of Reprisal that boosts Super energy when surrounded—further refine this build. The combination of Echo of Undermining and Echo of Instability ensures that grenades not only weaken foes but also activate Volatile Rounds upon taking them down.

All this culminates in a versatile and engaging build centered around the Nova Warp Super, making it a compelling choice for players ahead of Episode Heresy.
