Orpheus Rig has always been a capable Exotic, but it just became one of the most popular and Meta Exotic out there, all thanks to its effectiveness in Onslaught, especially on Legend mode.
Today, we’ll go through acquiring this Hunter Exotic and using it to put together one of the best Hunter builds in D2.
How to get the Orpheus Rig Exotic
As an Exotic from Year 1 of Destiny 2, Orpheus Rig can be acquired as a random Exotic drop. The best and most efficient farming methods are:
- Legend Lost Sectors during Chest days
- Vex Strike Force events (as they work on a knockout system)
In parallel, you should visit Xur every weekend and purchase his Fated Engram, as they, too, work on a knockout system and will always reward you with an Exotic you don’t already have. We cover Where is Xur Today here.

Orpheus Rig Build, Destiny 2
Armor Mods:
- Helmet: Harmonic Siphon, Dynamo
- Arms: Bolstering Detonation, Momentum Transfer
- Chest: Resistance Mods
- Legs: Insulation, Innervation, Surge Mod
- Class Item: Powerful Attraction, Utility Kickstart, Bomber
Strategy & Gameplay Loop:
Orpheus Rigs returns Super energy for enemies killed while in the Deadfall Tether. However, it only gives up to 50% back by itself. Using this loop, we can get even more than that:
1️⃣ Charge Super by dealing damage, getting multi-kills, and dodging near enemies (Dynamo). Use finishers on targets to regenerate some of your dodge.
2️⃣ Use your Super as soon as you see a large group of enemies.
3️⃣ Kill the targets that are tethered using your Primary to regenerate Super energy. Be sure to pick up orbs and get free Super by dodging. If done right, you’ll have blown past the limits on Orpheus.
