Centerpiece: Khepri's Sting (Gauntlets) · Subclass: Nightstalker · Role: Hands-free team-debuff add-clear — a Void MG that Weakens the room on a metronome so every kill re-seeds smoke and Void Breaches Sandbox: 9.7.0 · Updated 2026-07-03

Hold the trigger and Deterministic Chaos debuffs the pack on a counter — no melee input required. Khepri's Sting turns every kill on a weakened add into a fresh weakening smoke puff and a melee refund, while Deadfall's tether blankets the whole room in team-wide Weaken and suppression. You aim; the room stays debuffed, the Void Breaches pour out, and Devour keeps you standing.

The exotic

Khepri's Sting — Touch of Venom: Defeating a weakened target releases a burst of weakening smoke and refunds Void melee ability energy.

Deterministic Chaos: Strong against [Shield-Piercing] Barrier Champions. While holding down the trigger, every fourth Heavy Metal projectile also weakens targets on impact. Releasing the trigger after a Vexadecimal projectile partially reloads this weapon's magazine from reserves.

This is a legal dual-exotic (one armour + one weapon). Khepri's Sting only ever asks one question — "did a weakened target just die?" — and pays out twice when the answer is yes: a lingering weakening smoke cloud at the corpse (functionally a free Smoke Bomb that re-weakens the next body) plus Void melee energy back. The problem it usually has is sourcing the Weaken. Deterministic Chaos solves that hands-free: it is a 360 RPM Void Heavy machine gun that applies debuffs off held-trigger counters — an every-4th projectile counter and an every-16th Vexadecimal counter — so the gun itself keeps the pack weakened while you never spend melee to start the loop. The Clarity ruling adds that Khepri's needs Smoke Bomb equipped and grants 30% Smoke Bomb melee energy per weakened kill.

Loadout

Slot	Pick	Why
Subclass	Nightstalker (Void)	The Void verb kit — Weaken, Volatile, Invisibility, Devour, Void Breaches — is exactly what Khepri's and Deterministic Chaos both feed on.
Super	Shadowshot: Deadfall	Anchoring tether dramatically weakens and suppresses a whole pack for the fireteam — a room-wide Weaken button (and suppression backstops Overloads).
Class ability	Gambler's Dodge	Dodge into the pack refunds big melee energy to keep Smoke Bomb topped; swap to Marksman's if you'd rather reload the flex legendaries.
Movement	Triple Jump	Not load-bearing — player choice for vertical recovery over the tether zone.
Melee	Snare Bomb (Smoke Bomb)	Khepri's Clarity text requires Smoke Bomb equipped to function; it also grants invis-to-allies in 9.7.0 and is the guaranteed enabler for the 30% refund.
Grenade	Vortex Grenade	Lingering Void AOE that, with Echo of Undermining, weakens (a second Khepri's enabler) and arms Overload Grenades from the artifact.
Aspect 1	Stylish Executioner	Defeating any elementally-debuffed target grants Invisibility + Truesight; Deterministic Chaos debuffs everything, so this trips almost constantly for near-permanent invis and wallhacks.
Aspect 2	On the Prowl	Periodically marks a priority target for the whole fireteam; defeating marked targets spreads the team-debuff layer and reinforces the invis economy.
Fragments	Harvest · Starvation · Undermining · Expulsion	The Void Breach economy (orbs + breaches → Devour + explosions) that converts every weakened kill into survivability and more add-clear.
Exotic armour	Khepri's Sting (Gauntlets)	The centerpiece — weakened kill → weakening smoke + Void melee refund, closing the kill→smoke→melee loop hands-free.
Weapons	Kinetic flex primary · Void special · Deterministic Chaos (Heavy)	Det Chaos is the debuff engine; a Void special rides Volatile Flow between reloads; the kinetic flex plugs Unstoppable.

Fragments

Echo of Harvest defeating weakened targets → Orb of Power + Void Breach
Echo of Starvation pick up a Void Breach/Orb → Devour, −10 Class
Echo of Undermining Void grenades weaken, −10 Grenade
Echo of Expulsion Void ability final blows make targets explode, +10 Super

Why it works (the mechanics)

The gun debuffs hands-free. Holding the trigger on Deterministic Chaos runs its Heavy Metal and Vexadecimal counters, applying a Void debuff on the every-4th projectile and Weaken on the Vexadecimal cycle. That makes the weapon the debuff source — the entire premise of pairing it with Khepri's Sting, which only cares that a weakened target died.
Khepri's closes the kill→smoke→melee loop. A weakened add dies and Touch of Venom drops a weakening smoke puff that re-weakens the next body (so Khepri's can fire again) and refunds Smoke Bomb melee energy — 30% per weakened kill per Clarity. You bank melee for free while clearing instead of spending it to start.
Every-4th debuff feeds the invis layer; Weaken feeds the kill triggers. The frequent every-4th Void debuff constantly trips Stylish Executioner (any-debuff kill → Invis + Truesight) and Unto The Breach (Void-debuffed kill → Void Breach). The periodic Weaken is reinforced by Deadfall's tether, Vortex + Echo of Undermining, and Stylish's smoke — so Khepri's almost always has a weakened target to convert.
The Void Breach economy is the survivability spine. Echo of Harvest and Unto The Breach flood Void Breaches off debuffed kills; Echo of Starvation turns each pickup into Devour, and Protective Breach turns each into an overshield. Layered Devour + overshield means no Health stat is needed to stay up in a debuffed pack.
Heavy ammo stays fed. Releasing the trigger after a Vexadecimal projectile partially reloads the magazine from reserves, and Bricks From Beyond (Void kills on powerful combatants → Heavy ammo progress) tops the reserve back up — so the trigger-hold debuff engine rarely runs dry.
It's a team buff, not just a personal one. Deadfall weakens and suppresses a whole room for the fireteam, On the Prowl marks priority targets for the team, and Khepri's smoke lingers — allies shooting into your debuffed pack all benefit from the Weaken and the invis it spreads.

Stats & mods

Weapons 200 → Class → Super. Weapons is the whole point — its first 100 carries the PvE weapon-damage bonus plus the handling/reload that make an MG add-clear engine hum, and pushing toward 200 buys the large-ammo-brick chance that keeps Det Chaos fed. Class returns Gambler's Dodge fast (Stylish invis + melee top-ups), Super drives Deadfall uptime; dump Health/Melee/Grenade since Devour + overshield cover Health and Khepri's refunds Melee. Chase Powerhouse (Weapons+Super) and Specialist (Class) armour.

Mods:

Boots: Recuperation + Innervation — health and grenade energy on Orb pickup, which the Harvest orbs supply constantly.
Arms: Heavy Ammo Scavenger + Momentum Transfer — more Det Chaos reserves and grenade energy off melee hits.
Chest: Concussive Dampener + a resist mod — survivability while parked in the debuffed pack.
Class item: Reaper + Bomber — Orb on next weapon kill after dodging, plus grenade energy on dodge.
Surge: Void Surge ×2–3 — straight damage on Det Chaos and the Void special.
Anti-Champion: none needed on armour — Barrier is covered by Det Chaos's intrinsic and Overload by the artifact's Overload Grenades.

Artifact — NPA Repulsion Regulator

Picks (2/3/2):

Tier 1: Volatile Flow · Unto The Breach
Tier 2: Bricks From Beyond · Protective Breach · Overload Grenades
Tier 3: Supernova · Void Weapon Channeling

Volatile Flow grants your Void weapons Volatile Rounds on Orb pickup, so the Harvest orbs keep arming your Void special between MG reloads.
Unto The Breach creates a Void Breach whenever you defeat a Void-debuffed target — and Det Chaos debuffs everything, so Breaches pour out to feed the whole economy.
Bricks From Beyond gives Void kills on powerful combatants a chance to generate Heavy ammo, keeping the MG's reserve topped alongside the Vexadecimal reload.
Protective Breach converts each Void Breach pickup into an overshield, the front half of the Devour + overshield survivability spine.
Overload Grenades makes Vortex stun Overload Champions — the build's champion coverage for the one gap Det Chaos doesn't break.
Supernova makes your next Void damage after a Breach pickup emit a large weakening pulse — a bonus Weaken source that re-seeds targets for Khepri's.
Void Weapon Channeling stacks bonus Void weapon damage when you kill with a fully-charged Void ability, straight DPS on Det Chaos.

Where it shines

Endless-add content (GMs, Nightfalls, Onslaught, Coil) — the hands-free debuff counter plus room-wide Deadfall keeps a whole pack Weakened and volatile with minimal ability spending.
Team play — Deadfall, On the Prowl and Khepri's smoke all export Weaken and invis to the fireteam, so allies benefit from your debuffs.
Sustained survivability — layered Devour + overshield off the Void Breach economy holds up in the middle of a debuffed pack without a Health investment.
Champion coverage: Barrier is broken intrinsically by Deterministic Chaos; Overload is covered by Overload Grenades (Vortex). Unstoppable is not covered by the kit — bring an Unstoppable-capable kinetic primary, or lean on Deadfall's suppression as a stagger backstop.

Verify notes

Deterministic Chaos is manifest-confirmed a Void Machine Gun, Heavy ammo, 360 RPM (`data/weapon_facts.json` / `weapon_facts.md`). Its champion column auto-detects as "—", but the intrinsic text (`exotics.md`) reads "Strong against Barrier Champions" — trust the perk text; the auto-detector just didn't tag it.
Verbatim intrinsics quoted from `docs/encyclopedia/exotics.md`: Khepri's Sting (Touch of Venom) and Deterministic Chaos. Manifest debuff cadence: the `exotics.md` text says "every fourth Heavy Metal projectile also weakens." The community/Clarity model of the weapon is a two-counter design (an every-4th counter plus an every-16th Vexadecimal counter) — flag the exact per-shot cadence and Volatile-vs-Weaken split as manifest/tuning-dependent; the hands-free-debuff thesis holds regardless.
Khepri's Smoke-Bomb requirement: `clarity_build_numbers.md` states Touch of Venom "Requires Smoke Bomb to be equipped to function" and grants 30% Smoke Bomb melee energy per weakened kill. Melee is therefore locked to Snare/Smoke Bomb (not a dash melee) for the refund to land — manifest text alone ("Void melee") is looser than the live Clarity ruling.
Aspects/fragments verbatim from `aspects.md` / `fragments.md`: Stylish Executioner, On the Prowl, Echo of Harvest/Starvation/Undermining/Expulsion (stat deltas: Starvation −10 Class, Undermining −10 Grenade, Expulsion +10 Super).
Artifact: all seven NPA Repulsion Regulator mods confirmed real in `artifacts_structured.md`; picks are exactly 2/3/2 and unchanged from the prior spec. `artifact_parser.py --audit` should pass.
Fragment-slot budget assumes On the Prowl / Stylish grant enough Aspect Energy for four fragments; if slots run short in-game, drop Echo of Expulsion first — flagged as unconfirmed against live aspect energy values.
