Destiny 2's The Witch Queen is close to its official release, and players are already trying to figure out what sort of builds they should run on day one. This is not an easy task, as there are plenty of new items coming with the yearly expansion, ranging from a plethora of weapons with several Exotic guns to a brand-new archetype — the glaive. Among the new armor pieces, each class is getting an Exotic item for Light subclasses and another Exotic for Stasis, opening up uncharted possibilities alongside the Void 3.0 update.

With the Void 3.0 changes that will indirectly nerf Omnioculus, Hunters needed a team support Exotic even more, and it is finally coming in the form of the Exotic gauntlets Renewal Grasp.
