How do you even solo a grandmaster nightfalls?

[CapNKirkland]

I've tried so many builds that all *claim*they can solo grandmaster nightfalls but incant get them to work.

My favorite build is a combination blow arkstrider hunter, using tractor cannon and 1-2punch. Its a lit of fun and it's greatfor cleaning ads, and can take down most champions becides barrier really fast, but it's an in your face melee build with obvious drawbacks against bosses.

I'm frustrated that bungie locks all their endgame content behind things that cant be solo'd without EXTREMELY specific gimmicky builds and sweaty tryharding.

an in ur face build isnt the best plan for grandmasters since everything can basically 1 shot u

obviously. it can run master nightfalls just fine solo though and like i said, its quite fun.
but i just don't get how anyone can solo a grandmaster. i've tried other builds that claim to be capable but none of them are.

Patience. GMs take a long time to do solo, take your time and plink away at enemies from a distance.

I would just look up videos of people doing them, rather than apparently reading potentially baseless guides.

Good build, patience, skill.
Not a pick one, it's all or none

skill issue

Well do u have liar's handshake? Because if u don't the build won't work.
Void hunter, high mobility, 90+ stat ranged weapons preferrably. Get's me thru solo nightfalls, master sectors. Im currently 20 levels below master.
Do quick sling for handcannons on unstoppables with max handling, small things like that makes solo stuff easier :
Some weapons with auto reload holster, works great on heavy weapons for clearing champs solo - If only two tailed fox could work with those reload perks. (doesnt for me idk why) Also learn benefits of stuff like font of wisdom, and contemplate build with 100 intellect so u can spend 9 tiers on just heavy ammo perks instead - stuff like that makes clearing content solo a lot easier. Works for me, and i dont have any dlc since forsaken.
The main problem with gm's is need to have the level. So never reach that to end of season if im playing a lot - lack of pinnacles/duplicates.

Dont you know who this game is for mate? It is for these people who play the game totally differently and at a level only you can dream of, Bungie obsssess about them, dream about them and tailor the game to them, so dont watch their feeds, that takes ther revenue away

the loot aint worth the time, unless you have a nice team to just demolish everything fast and consitently.

I can only imagine how good the game would be if Bungie cared about speedrun/challenge players

And thats why Root is objectively the easiest raid by a long shot?

Assassin's Cowl is the new Liar's Handshake after the melee nerfs, although that comes from beating the Shadowkeep campaign. Intellect is a dead stat that you should never invest in, mods like Hands-On or Ashes To Assets do a LOT more as far as super regen goes.

Scourge of the Past/ VoG was/are easier but the point still stands.
