Orb of Power Question

[D.A.R.K.]

So... I'm new to the game and I saw another playing dropping a ♥♥♥♥ ton of grey orbs that reduces the cooldown of my special ability... I would like to know what he did to have that, and if there's one for grenades as well. I would love to reduce the cooldown of grenades and specials, how do I do that?

Rapidly killing enemies with Masterworked weapons, or fulfilling the conditions of certain armour mods will spawn Orbs of Light.

Ur helmet need to put siphon mods on it, rapidly kill enemies also will spawn orbs too

As others have said, masterworks and armor mods. However, for exotic weapons they have to have the "catalyst" which you will find quests for most of. Others drop randomly from strikes.

Masterworked weapons/catalyst exotics haven't produced orbs since The Witch Queen launched - this was replaced by helmet Siphon mods.

Master worked and catalyst's are no longer a requirement to spawn orbs of light. They simply increase stats or functionality.

Siphon mods on helmets spawn Orb of light. There are aslo fragments in the subclass pools that have Orbs of light drops if the condition is met usually on a 10s cooldown.

Grenades and Melee's also have mods on the Gloves. x1 is 10s cooldown, x2 is 5s, x3 is 1s meaning you'll have to wait to spawn an orb again depending on tier or you can spam every sec... that is if you dont find yourself using loader mods or Reduction mods for abilities while using others which those also have i believe a 7s cooldown for 12%?

Reaper mod on Class item also gives an orb a power on kill after using a class ability.

you can also stack these. like using a hunter dodge to proc reaper and getting a grenade kill while also fulfilling the requirement on a fragment can spawn 3 orbs in 1 kill.

i have a Hunter build that can spawn about 5-8 orbs in 1 grenade if i place it right then get it back within about 10/20-ish secs later to do it again.
