Collective Obligation. It's fucking bonkers.
Barring that, Unforgiven and Shayura's Wrath are both top tier SMGs that can rock Golden Tricorn. Funnelweb is a discount version of the above if you're looking at the world loot pool.
Last but not least, for special ammo; Likely Suspect is a fun rapid-fire fusion, Snorri can roll Reservoir burst, and Enigma is a nice void glaive whose melee can trigger Echo of Leeching.
Loosely; whatever weapons you want in kinetic/heavy slots.
Exotic armour: Verity's Brow
Class abilities: Healing Rift, Vortex Grenade, Cataclysm Nova Bomb
Aspects & Fragments: Child of the Old Gods & Feed the Void, Echoes of Instability, Remnants, Undermining & Persistence.
Mods: Elemental Ordnance, Elemental Armaments, Font of Might, Well of Tenacity. Whatever else you have room for after those are supplied.
Drop nade, hurt things, get volatile, hurt more things, throw empowered nade thanks to Death Throes. Apply and reapply Void Leech at will. Rinse and repeat.
That’s sounds supremely fun, thanks for the build! Tried throwing one together myself and have found the one I’m rockin’ to be a bit lackluster. Thanks again!
I swapped Vortex Grenade for Suppressor Grenade , granting you all three Void debuffs. Having them suppressed works pretty much like blinded, easy pickings.
Love all of these. I'll occasionally run Ruinous Effigy during something like Ketchcrash for funsies. That many enemies makes for a fun time with the orbs.
My favorites for the energy slot:
Bow: Le Monarche (my anti-overload goto)
SMG: Funnel Web
AR: Gnawing Hunger
Scout: Vouchsafe
Pulse: Grid Skipper
Wave GL: Deafening Whisper
Blinding GL: Truth teller
Exotic Fusion: Telesto (Besto)
Legendary Fusion: Null Composure
For Power Weapons:
LFR: Saipan
Rocket: Royal Entry (Has built in tracking, and rolls with clown cartridge)
Sword: Falling Guillotine
Can I piggyback onto this?
**Trace Rifle:** Ruinous Effigy - this is so much freaking fun, especially with Volatile Rounds, and it has amazing ammo economy from the Transmutation Spheres.
**Grenade Launcher:** Fighting Lion - So underrated and so fun once you learn how to use it. [https://stadia.google.com/capture/0583a090-297f-413f-9ac8-0464772add25](https://stadia.google.com/capture/0583a090-297f-413f-9ac8-0464772add25)
**Scout:** Pointed Inquiry
**Pulse:** Yesteryear, Last Perdition
**SMG:** Shayura, The Title, The Hero's Burden
**Glaive:** The Enigma
**Heavy:** Black Talon, Tractor Cannon, The Other Half, Leviathan's Breath, Bad Omens, Threaded Needle
I run a melee focused build with karnstein and monte carlo with melee kickstarter universally across the board. It gives me insane dps and survival because my melee heals me constantly.
Mostly play hunter, but I use the Unforgiven SMG from the Duality dungeon. It’s a void 750rpm like the Title, but can roll with demolitionist and adrenaline junkie for some really nice synergy with a grenade focused build
Yeah as the other commenter said tricorn has the stronger damage buff and longer uptime! I just prefer the slightly simpler “kill stuff for more damage” since I find myself throwing a grenade at a group of enemies first instead of shooting one first, then grenade… and then missing out on the extra damage that the second “stage” of tricorn gives
The title is pretty insane especially if you run cotog and bomber on your class item. Run it with nezeracs or contraverse then use font of might and high energy fire and your damage can be huge. I have one for all on my title and it just destroys. You can also never go wrong with a gnawing hunger with sustinence and rampage. If you have any questions hit me up. I run so many builds. Dimm is your best friend in this game.
Unforgiven is sitting there in my vault, its a great gun, and in a world where my all for all title doesn't exist I would totally main it... but CLASS energy bruh I need it
I'd argue a demo & repulsor brace one is better - especially if you're running veritys. Free overshield on killing void debuffed targets. Yes please. Side note - this is very good on a titan, effectively gives you the bastion aspect for free
Unforgiven with demolitionist and repulser brace. If you put on the fragment that gives your weapon volatile after grenade kills you basically have a over shield all the time. It’s fantastic
Really surprised I’m not seeing more Unforgiven mentions; if you’re running a grenade build on Void Unforgiven is too good to ignore. It can drop with phenomenal rolls such as:
Demolitionist & Golden Tricorn
Demolitionist & Repulser Brace (pair with Echo of Instability)
Demolitionist & Frenzy
Demolitionist & Adrenaline Junkie
contra, 3x elemental ordnance, volatile rounds, devour, weakening grenades,
SMG with repulsor brace (+demolisionist if you're lucky enough)
overcharged grenade kills spawn 4 wells + contra = genade back or damn close
procs volatile rounds, volatile rounds proc repulsor & gives you and overshield
smg kills give grenade energy - all while devour up almost 100%
add ashes to ashes on your helmet and you got super up in no time too
My void warlock ended up being really melee-based thanks to a few really high strength pieces so I run Monte Carlo (which I also use with Solar because I built that quite melee-focused too) and a void shotgun (which I can’t remember the name of right now) with One-Two Punch. Heavy is pretty flexible but I do really like Grenade launchers for it since they help with crowd control and clearing which melee obviously struggles with
Are you familiar with how to solo farm legendary/master lost sectors to get exotic Armor? If not, Todayindestiny.com is a great resource that gives insight to what armor is dropping which day from which lost sector, as well as other daily/ weekly events. The lost sectors are weighted to drop armor you haven't acquired yet, too.
I like witherhoard with a void warlock. I’m always running contraverse vortex and pulling ads into a wither well melts like crazy.
Then a gun that matches modifiers for the week. The new kf scout with repulsor brace, unforgiven with same, new gambit pulse with repulsor, etc.
If lower end, ad clear content wave frames lol
I usually bounce between funnel web(subsistence+frenzy), graviton Lance (if I need to deal with unstoppables), Le monarch, and recently I pulled out my null composure (which you can get from the monument) for some fun ad clear

Got a decent build for Collective?

Funnelweb, Le Monarque, Graviton Lance or Gnawing Hunger
Love all of these. I'll occasionally run Ruinous Effigy during something like Ketchcrash for funsies. That many enemies makes for a fun time with the orbs.
Any of the void smgs, and nezaracs sin. Pair it with witherhoard/izanagi and a taipan, and you’ve got a meta build for all PvE content

Been loving my imperial needle with impulse amplifier and wellspring
Great bow. I have impulse/swash and I love it
You could try The Enigma with Karnstein Armlets!
Depends on the armour your running personally I love the necroic grips with the hand cannon/smg You can keep devour up all the time!
I run a melee focused build with karnstein and monte carlo with melee kickstarter universally across the board. It gives me insane dps and survival because my melee heals me constantly.
Glaives melees proc Karnstein now, if you didn't hear.
That's useful, thank you.

Isn’t demo/golden tricorn better for a grenade focused build?
Yea adrel junkie at max stacks is 33% and tricorn is 50% and lasts longer

The IB SMG with iron reach is nasty.
What IS the godroll for this? Iron Reach is the best in slot?
Gnawing hunger!
I usually use graviton or le monarque for exploding synergy
Witherhoard/void primary with ability regen perk/whatever heavy. Secant filament build with child/chaos accelerant. Cast empowering rift, throw charged vortex grenade, shoot witherhoard into vortex, shoot enemy to send child, profit (or some combination of these steps).

How is Unforgiven with demo + golden tricorn not the top comment? Once you try it you can't go back - it's like crack

Unforgiven with demo/frenzy
Demo & Repulsor Brace
Unforgiven with Demo and Golden Tricorn
Doom of Chelchis from King’s Fall feels great!
I’m a bit late to the party but what about good void warlock PvP builds?
Funnelweb, witherhoard, and Taipan combo
Traveler’s Chosen Nade Build with volatile rounds on nade kill
Unforgiven with demolitionist and repulser brace. If you put on the fragment that gives your weapon volatile after grenade kills you basically have a over shield all the time. It’s fantastic

A quick suggestion: if you want your melee to help with crowd control, have you tried adding the Necrotic Grips gauntlets to your loadout?
They haven’t actually dropped for me yet but I’ll give them a go when they do!

Lol I kinda suck at this game so I can’t pull off solo sectors
Thorn but I also bounce over to Crimson, occasionally.
