Dodge, vanish, emerge — and every Void weapon you own is now firing Volatile Rounds. Chaining detonations do the add-clear; the invisibility does the surviving. Then you finish a combatant from invis and the whole fireteam gets a weapon-damage buff plus a pocketed overshield they can pop on demand. A gun build that happens to wear a support exotic.

The exotic

See Me, Feel Me: Your Void weapons gain Volatile Rounds after you emerge from being invisible. When you are invisible and defeat a combatant while using a finisher, all of your weapons gain bonus damage; you and your nearby allies gain a reserve overshield and improved class ability regeneration. These reserve overshields can be deployed by using a class ability.

Two distinct payloads, and the build runs both. The everyday one is Volatile on tap: any time you leave invisibility your Void weapons gain Volatile Rounds (the Clarity DB times this at 9 seconds in PvE per emerge). Dodging via Vanishing Step or a debuffed kill via Stylish both count, so you re-arm the buff every few seconds for free. The team one is the finisher: while invisible, finish a combatant and all your weapons — not just Void — gain bonus damage, and you plus nearby allies bank a reserve overshield and improved class-ability regen. That overshield isn't applied immediately; it is deployed by using a class ability, so every ally pops their own bubble of damage resistance on a dodge, rift, or barricade exactly when they need it. You are a damage-buff and panic-button dispenser that still mainly shoots.

Loadout

Slot	Pick	Why
Subclass	Nightstalker (Void)	Void is the only element Gyrfalcon arms with Volatile, and the invisibility/weaken kit feeds the exotic's whole loop.
Super	Shadowshot: Deadfall	Anchoring tether suppresses, weakens, and groups the pack; the weaken stacks on top of your Volatile detonations for the team.
Class ability	Gambler's Dodge	The build's engine — dodge → Vanishing Step invis → emerge → Gyrfalcon arms Volatile, and it returns melee energy near enemies.
Movement	Triple Jump	Air control to reposition between dodges and line up finishers.
Melee	Snare Bomb	Leaving invis near enemies releases a weakening smoke and turns nearby allies invisible — a second invis source that also feeds Stylish and Deadfall weaken.
Grenade	Vortex Grenade	Lingering Void damage that, with Echo of Instability, hands Volatile Rounds directly on a grenade kill — redundancy for the Gyrfalcon proc.
Aspect 1	Stylish Executioner	Defeating any elementally-debuffed target grants invisibility + Truesight; since Volatile is an elemental debuff, your own detonations re-trigger invis.
Aspect 2	Vanishing Step	Dodging makes you invisible — on-demand invis with no kill required, so you can arm Volatile whenever you want.
Fragments	Instability · Persistence · Harvest · Starvation	Redundant Volatile feed, stretched Void-buff durations, and a weaken→orb→Devour sustain spine.
Exotic armour	Gyrfalcon's Hauberk (Chest)	The centerpiece: emerge-from-invis Volatile plus the fireteam finisher overshield.
Weapons	Void primary + second Void special/heavy + free-element heavy	Void primary carries Volatile; a second Void weapon keeps the buff productive on swap; the heavy can be any element for the finisher-window burst.

Fragments

Echo of Instability · Echo of Persistence · Echo of Harvest · Echo of Starvation

Stylish (+2) and Vanishing Step (+2) supply 4 Aspect Energy Capacity, so this is a clean four-fragment set; see Verify notes for the five-fragment swap.

Why it works (the mechanics)

Emerge-from-invis is a free, repeatable button. Vanishing Step turns the dodge itself into the Volatile trigger — no kill, no setup. Dodge, you are invisible; the instant it ends, Volatile Rounds are live (9 s in PvE) on every Void gun you hold. This is the whole identity in one input.
Volatile self-perpetuates the invis that armed it. Volatile is an elemental debuff, and Stylish Executioner grants invisibility on any elementally-debuffed kill. So a Volatile detonation that kills hands you invis → emerge → Volatile again. Once a fight is rolling the gunplay reloads its own buff and you rarely have to dodge on purpose.
Multiple redundant Volatile feeds mean it is never down. Echo of Instability grants Volatile for 11 s on a grenade kill, and the artifact's Volatile Marksman grants it on rapid Void precision hits/kills — both independent of Gyrfalcon. Overlapping sources keep the detonation chain effectively always on, even between invis windows.
The finisher is the fireteam moment. Go invis (dodge or Snare Bomb), finish a combatant: every weapon you carry gets a damage buff for the burst, and the team banks a reserve overshield they each deploy on their own class ability. That is an offensive and defensive cooldown handed to five other guns at once — the reason to bring this over a selfish Volatile chest.
Weaken layers under everything for the team. Deadfall, Snare Bomb, and Stylish's post-invis melee all apply Weaken — a debuff-bucket multiplier that stacks on top of Volatile and every weapon perk for the whole fireteam. Your add-clear loop doubles as a team damage debuff on the boss, and Deadfall also refunds ability energy per tethered enemy.
Devour is the survivability floor under the overshields. Echo of Harvest turns weakened kills into an Orb of Power + a Void Breach; Echo of Starvation converts that pickup into Devour (full heal on kill), and Echo of Persistence stretches Invisibility, Overshield, and Devour duration alike. So you run Devour and invisibility and the deployable Gyrfalcon overshield — three independent survival layers that let a gun-forward build hold in −30/−40.

Stats & mods

Weapons 200 → Class → Health. This is a gun build, so the Weapons stat (universal weapon-damage and handling bump) leads; Class keeps Gambler's Dodge — your Volatile and invis trigger — on a short cooldown and feeds the deployable overshield; Health is the dump stat because Devour, invis, and the Gyrfalcon overshield already cover survivability. Lean on Weapons-favouring archetypes (Gunner, Powerhouse) with one Class piece (Specialist), and accept that Tier 4 gear lands these near ~100 before mods — Tier 5 pushes higher.

Mods:

Boots: Orbs of Restoration (orb pickup → energy to your least-charged ability) — folds the Harvest orb economy back into ability uptime; pair with helmet Harmonic Siphon for constant Void orbs.
Arms: Melee Font + Grenade Font — cheap stat topping for the two abilities you spend constantly.
Chest: Arc + Solar + Void Resistance — flat damage resistance stacked under the overshield and Devour layers.
Class item: Class Font (toward the Class ceiling) · Powerful Attraction (dodge vacuums nearby orbs) · Reaper (dodge → next kill spawns an extra Orb).
Surge: Void Weapon Surge ×2 on the boots — ≈+17% Void weapon damage in PvE, straight onto your Volatile primary.
Anti-Champion: archetype-based in 9.7.0 — Aggressive/High-Impact → Unstoppable, Precision/Adaptive → Barrier, Lightweight/Rapid-Fire → Overload. Volatile no longer stuns Barrier, so bring the matching Void frame; Deadfall's suppress handles Overload behaviour.

Artifact — Tablet of Ruin

Picks (2/3/2): Tier 1 — Volatile Marksman + Elemental Siphon; Tier 2 — Maligned Harvest + Harsh Refraction + Gold From Lead; Tier 3 — Void Flux + Limit Break.

Volatile Marksman is a fourth Volatile feed and the loop's payback: "Rapid Void weapon precision hit and rapid Void weapon final blows grant Volatile Rounds. Volatile detonations grant class ability energy" — so the chain refunds the dodge that re-arms Gyrfalcon.
Elemental Siphon turns rapid Super-matching (Void) kills into Void elemental pickups, feeding the Void Breach → Devour → Orb sustain spine.
Maligned Harvest rewards the detonation chain directly: rapidly applying Volatile creates a weakening burst on your next Void hit, and applying Weaken grants a small Void Overshield — a fifth damage-resistance layer.
Void Flux makes weakened Void kills spread Volatile to nearby targets — another self-sustaining detonation feed that thrives on the weaken you are already stacking.
Gold From Lead gives Special pickups a chance to grant Heavy ammo, fuelling the element-agnostic finisher-window DPS; Harsh Refraction boosts Trace Rifles against matching elemental debuffs (slot a Void Trace to cash in on your own Volatile/weaken).
Limit Break spikes Super damage when you cast with a matching Void buff up — a Deadfall boost for the moments that matter.

Where it shines

Add-dense endgame (GMs, master Nightfalls, −30/−40): the Volatile chain wall-to-wall clears packs while invisibility and Devour keep you alive through the density.
Fireteam content (raids, dungeons): the finisher hands the whole team a weapon-damage buff and a deployable overshield, and Deadfall/Snare weaken stacks under everyone's damage on the boss.
Champion coverage: nothing here breaks a champion intrinsically — Volatile is +10% vs champs in 9.7.0, no longer a stun. Anti-champion comes from weapon archetype (match the frame to the champ), with Deadfall's suppress covering Overload behaviour and ability spam.

Verify notes

Manifest-confirmed: See Me, Feel Me intrinsic text quoted verbatim from `encyclopedia/exotics.md` / `exotic_intrinsics.md`. Subclass Nightstalker → Void element.
Volatile Rounds duration: `clarity_build_numbers.md` gives 9 s (3 s PvP) per emerge from Gyrfalcon and 11 s from Echo of Instability; whether the Gyrfalcon window is timer- or ammo-gated in practice is worth a live check.
Finisher buff % and duration (the all-weapons damage bonus) and the reserve overshield value / how long it stays banked before deploy are not in manifest or Clarity text — test in-game. (unsourced)
Deadfall weaken %: the Clarity DB lists Deadfall's per-tether ability-energy returns but not a tether weaken percentage; standard Weaken behaviour applies, exact value unconfirmed. (unsourced)
Persistence nuance: Echo of Persistence extends Invisibility/Overshield/Devour duration, but the Gyrfalcon proc fires on exiting invis — Clarity notes letting the extended timer lapse can skip the Volatile grant; confirm on light.gg.
Five-fragment swap: trading Vanishing Step for On the Prowl raises Aspect Energy Capacity to 5 (it lists +3) and opens a fifth fragment, plus On the Prowl's marked-kill payout refunds grenade/melee/class energy to the team — a stronger support slant, at the cost of dodge-on-demand invis (Volatile re-arming becomes kill-gated).
Artifact is Tablet of Ruin; all seven picks verified against the real 2/3/2 pools in `encyclopedia/artifacts_structured.md`. Note the prior file mis-described Harsh Refraction — its real effect is the Trace Rifle amp quoted above.
