Gunslinger is a subclass of Hunter. The specialization of Gunslinger is dealing damage from afar. It excels in solo-play and single target damage. Gunslinger's super ability is the Golden Gun. Golden Gun transforms the player's weapon into a glowing magnum. Players will have a maximum of 3 shots with the magnum. Each shot will instantly kill weaker enemies in PvE and enemy players in PvP. Gunslinger's jump ability is Double Jump, which allows the player to jump consecutively. Gunslinger's melee attack is the Throwing Knife. It allows the player to throw their knife when meleeing enemies not in melee range.
- Gunslinger is perfect for a player who wants to play Destiny as a standard first-person shooter game.

Gunslinger Builds
PvE Builds
1. Tripmine Grenade (or Incendiary Grenade if you prefer), Triple Jump, Combustion, Knife Juggler, Path Forbidden, Scavenger (or Keyhole if you feel like it will help, or Gunslinger's Trance if you have a high recoil weapon), Way of the Nomad, Chain of Woe
- Blow everything up. Then shoot everything. Then go Super Saiyan. Then blow everything up by shooting everything. Don't feel like shooting things? Stab things in the face, up close and from distance! Collect ammo, then repeat.
PvP Builds
1. Tripmine Grenade (or Swarm Grenade if you're defending points), Better Control Jump, Deadeye (or Combustion, for capturing points in Control), Incendiary Blade, Path Forgotten, Keyhole, Way of the Fearless, Chain of Woe (or Gambler's Dagger, if I feel like throwing lots of Knives)
- Use your grenades wisely to control the map. Watch your radar and stick them right on the corner that the enemy is about to turn; that'll surprise them! Throw them on a wall behind a point as enemies try and capture it, and watch them all blow up! If you're using combustion, go nuts and get some easy triple-down/breaker medals as you assault the points. Always go for headshots and use your knife whenever you feel like you can get a hit.
