Void 3.0 is an overhaul of how Destiny 2’s Void subclasses are balanced.
Is Void 3.0 A Buff Or Nerf?
They’re especially powerful in PvP.

Void Keywords Explained
Stasis set the foundation for an element’s identity within Destiny 2.
Void 3.0 has a similar keyword system or “verbs” that dictate what your abilities are capable of.
Feed the Voiddoubles the strength of Devour for Warlocks.
Invisibility
You vanish from sight, preventing enemies from targeting you.
Guardians infrequently see you on their radar.
Performing offensive actions will end Invisibility.
Overshield
Adds an additional layer of HP with 50% damage resistance in PVE.
Grants no DR in PvP.
Overshield amount varies based on the source.
Debuffs
Suppression
The enemy cannot use abilities.
PvE enemies cannot attack while suppressed.
Volatile
The target is afflicted with unstable Void energy and will explode upon taking additional damage.
Volatile Rounds counter Barrier Champions.
Weaken
The enemy receives more damage from all sources.
Weaken is either a 15% or 30% debuff depending on the source.
PvE enemies have reduced accuracy and movement speed while Weakened.
Subclass Pickup
Void Breach
A well of Void energy that grants 10% class ability energy when grabbed.
It only spawns for the creator.
Use certain Void Fragments to spawn Void Breaches.
This effect works in PvE and PvP with no differences between each sandbox.It is the Voidwalker Warlock’s specialty.
Arguably the strongest buff tied to Void 3.0, Devour is a staple of just about every PvE build.
TheEcho of StarvationFragment allows every Void class to access Devour, not just Warlocks.
Notable sources of Devour include theFeed the VoidAspect,Echo of StarvationFragment, and theBuried BloodlineExotic Sidearm.
With that said, there is a short grace period upon becoming invisible where actions won’t decloak you.
Most Invisibility sources last for five seconds by default.It is the Nightstalker Hunter’s specialty.
It serves as the Nightstalker’s main defensive property and makes recovering your HP mid-gunfight far easier.
Bear in mind that Invisibility is not invincibility; you might still take damage while invisible.
Some enemies, notably Hive Shriekers, can see through invisibility and shoot you.
There also seems to be a slight delay before enemies drop aggro when you become invisible.
This ping lasts for around a second before you vanish from the radar again.
As with PvE, offensive actions remove invisibility.
PvP overshields grant no damage resistance, only extra HP.It is the Sentinel Titan’s specialty.
As the name suggests, not all overshields count as Void Overshields.
Common sources of Void Overshields include the Sentinel’sBastionAspect, the Repulsor Brace perk, and theVexcalibur Exotic Glaive.
Suppression Explained
Suppressing an Overload Champion stuns them.
Suppression also disables any active abilities, notably Supers on Lucent Hive and Guardians.All classes can utilize Suppression.
Out of the three Void debuffs, Suppression is the rarest of the bunch.
Most players will need to useSuppressor Grenadesto apply this debuff, although Shadowshot andShield Throwcan inflict Suppression as well.
Overall, this is an incredibly powerful effect that can swing entire firefights in your favor.
Volatile Explained
Volatile Rounds can pierce Barrier Champion shields.
This leads to chain reaction explosions for amazing add clear in easier PvE content.
you’re able to get this buff throughEcho of Instabilityand theGyrfalcon’s HauberkExotic for Hunters.
Damage-enhancing debuffs are incredibly useful in PvE content.
Most consider some form of Weaken mandatory for endgame raids and GM Nightfalls.
Some sources of Weaken are stronger than others, applying a 30% damage increase to the target.
The following sources provide a 30% Weaken effect:
All other sources inflict a 15% Weaken effect.
Each Void Breach grants roughly 10% class ability energy and lasts for 12 seconds or until grabbed.
All Void subclasses can spawn Void Breaches.
Clear all 50 waves of Onslaught with these tips and tricks.
TheAxion Boltwill aggressively seek targets before it vanishes, extended by usingEcho of Remnants.
Throw the grenade near a target and watch it stick before detonating twice.
Paired withVerity’s Browon Voidwalker,this grenade can one-tap Guardians in PvP.
Abilities include grenades, melee abilities, class abilities, Supers, and your second jump.
We highly recommend you use Fastball with this grenade to ensure your grenade sticks to your intended surface.
It’s a fantastic grenade for flushing out targets behind cover in PvP.
Targets caught in the flames take damage every 0.25 seconds.
The wall itself lasts for 6 seconds, extended to 9 seconds withEcho of Remnants.
Vortex Grenades last 4 seconds before they dissipate, extended to 6 seconds ifEcho of Remnantsis equipped.
IfEcho of Underminingis equipped, every damage tick from the vortex will inflict Weaken.
Once planted, theSnare Bombwill persist for 10 seconds, pinging the radar of enemy Guardians while active.
If no targets get near theSnare Bombfor its duration, it’ll automatically detonate after ten seconds are up.
The damage is insubstantial and should mostly be used for recharging Overshields or inflicting Volatile through theControlled DemolitionAspect.
While it doesn’t deal much damage, the knockback can be useful for pushing targets out of cover.
Tethered foes share damage taken.
The Shadowshot anchor lasts for 12 seconds or until destroyed.
Tethers inflict Weaken and Suppression.
Tethered targets take 20% more damage from subsequent Shadowshot hits.
Moebius Quiver morphs your Shadowshot bow into a hybrid support/DPS Super.
Void anchors deal roughly 20% increased damage to tethered targets.
Your light attack is a short-range lunge that can be chained multiple times, breaking invisibility when used.
Your heavy attack performs a vertical slash attack that turns you invisible.
While the damage is insubstantial in PvE,Spectral Bladesis a devastating PvP Super when used properly.
Your light attack is a simpleShield Bashcombo that deals moderate damage.
Using your Grenade will use an empowered version ofShield Throwwhich features far more aim assist.

See ourbuff stacking articlefor more information.
(Titan) Twilight Arsenal
Conjure and throw three battle axes, inflicting Weaken on impact.
you’re free to pick up the axes and use them as weapons.
Axes have 10 charges and last 15 seconds.
Heavy attacks throw the axe, depleting all remaining ammo.
Turn your Sentinel Shield into a trio of battle axes before throwing them all at your foes.
All three axes are thrown back-to-back when you cast your Super.
Enemies hit suffer from 15% Weaken and take moderate damage from the Super itself.
Each axe lasts 15 seconds, has 10 charges, and inflicts Weaken on hit.
Using your heavy attack will throw the axe at the opponent, consuming all remaining ammo.
Ward of Dawn has 8,000 HP and takes 50% more damage from enemy Guardians.
As with Titan Barricades, you might’t shoot enemies through the bubble.
Additionally, theWard of Dawn passively generates Void Overshields for nearby allies, similar to aBastionBarricade.
Pair this with a Warlock’s Well of Radiance to greatly improve your team’s survivability in raid content.
This is an empowered buff and doesnotstack with Radiant or Warlock Rifts.
On impact, the Nova Bomb detonates and creates four cluster bomblets, behaving similarly toAxion Bolts.
Both the Nova Bomb and seeker projectiles one-tap Guardians in PvP and deal massive damage in PvE.
Your light attacks charge your character before creating an explosion.
Holding down the light attack button charges up this attack for increased damage over a wider area.
Your heavy attack performs a long-range teleport with no cooldown (unaffected byAstrocyte Verse).
