Centerpiece: Buried Bloodline (Sidearm · Special · Void) · Subclass: Nightstalker · Role: Self-sustaining Void Devour engine — weaken-on-hit + lifesteal that never stops Sandbox: 9.7.0 · Updated 2026-07-03

A Special sidearm that double-fires tracking bolts and leeches health back on every hit — then the catalyst turns each bolt into a weakening dart the moment Devour is live. The loop closes on itself: the gun keeps Devour up, Devour keeps the catalyst weaken up, the weaken keeps the gun fed. You point and hold; it heals you to full, debuffs the target for the team, and refills its own green ammo off the bodies. A primary-feeling Special you can leave equipped.

The weapon

Hungering Quarrel (intrinsic): Double fires tracking bolts. Landing bolts leeches health from the target.

Catalyst — Splitvein Lineage: While Devour is active, this weapon weakens on hit.

The bolts track, so trash dies without precision, and the Hungering Quarrel lifesteal makes it a panic button — hold the trigger on a swarm and you tick back to full. The catalyst is the reason this is a build and not just a gun: with Devour active, every landing bolt weakens the target. Weaken is a debuff-bucket multiplier (target takes roughly 15% more damage), so a single Special sidearm is simultaneously your add-clear, your survivability, and a team debuff applicator that stacks on top of every other weapon perk in the fireteam. Because it fires two tracking bolts per trigger-pull, the weaken and the leech land fast and reliably, and the whole thing feeds off the green Special bricks its own weakened kills manufacture.

Loadout

Slot	Pick	Why
Subclass	Nightstalker (Void)	Matches the gun's element; owns Devour, Weaken and invisibility.
Super	Shadowshot: Deadfall	Team-wide weaken tether + suppress + pack-grouping; a heavy backup to the gun's own weaken.
Class ability	Gambler's Dodge	Melee energy near enemies; pairs with Vanishing Step for on-demand invis.
Movement	Triple Jump	Air control to reposition and line up dives; safe default.
Melee	Snare Bomb (Quickfall)	On-demand invis + smoke; another way to leave invis and re-arm Volatile Rounds.
Grenade	Vortex Grenade	Lingering Void damage; with Echo of Undermining it weakens to start a Devour loop from scratch.
Aspect 1	Stylish Executioner	Defeating a target affected by any elemental debuff grants invisibility and Truesight. The gun weakens everything, so every kill is a Stylish kill — constant invis.
Aspect 2	Vanishing Step	Dodging makes you invisible. Guaranteed invis on demand to re-arm Gyrfalcon's Volatile Rounds.
Fragments	Starvation · Harvest · Persistence · Undermining · Instability	The self-igniting Devour loop plus the Volatile bootstrap (see below).
Exotic armour	Gyrfalcon's Hauberk (Chest)	Your Void weapons gain Volatile Rounds after you emerge from being invisible. Every time you leave invis the sidearm gets free Volatile.
Weapons	Void primary (Destabilizing / Repulsor Brace) + any Heavy	Primary shares Gyrfalcon's Volatile and covers the champion the sidearm can't; Heavy cashes in the constant weaken.

Fragments

Echo of Starvation pick up a Void Breach/Orb → Devour — the ignition
Echo of Harvest weakened kills → Orb of Power and Void Breach — the fuel
Echo of Persistence Devour/Invis/Overshield last longer — keeps the catalyst condition live between kills
Echo of Undermining Void grenades weaken — bootstraps Devour before the loop is spun up
Echo of Instability grenade kills → Volatile Rounds; +10 Melee

Why it works (the mechanics)

The loop is closed and self-igniting. Devour active → the catalyst weakens on every bolt → weakened kills (Echo of Harvest) spawn an Orb and a Void Breach → picking either up (Echo of Starvation) refreshes Devour → Devour stays active → the catalyst keeps weakening. The gun manufactures the exact condition its own catalyst needs. You only have to start the loop once (a grenade weaken via Undermining, or any Devour source) and it self-sustains off normal trigger-pulling.
Devour is the survivability spine, and the gun double-feeds it. Devour heals you to full on every kill and Hungering Quarrel's lifesteal heals you on every hit — two independent heal sources off the same trigger. Against adds you are effectively unkillable.
Stylish Executioner runs purely off the gun. The catalyst weakens everything, so every defeated target is "affected by an elemental debuff" → Stylish grants invis + Truesight on each kill. No melee setup needed; the sidearm supplies the debuff.
Invis → Volatile is a free damage multiplier on the same weapon. Every time you leave invis (which is constant — Stylish, dodge, Snare Bomb), Gyrfalcon's gives the Void sidearm Volatile Rounds. Now each tracking bolt leeches health, weakens, and detonates a volatile AoE — three effects, one trigger.
Weaken is a team multiplier, not a personal one. The weaken the gun paints stacks on top of every fireteam weapon perk and every Heavy hit, so this build raises the whole team's damage on whatever you're shooting — which is why it punches far above a Special sidearm's raw numbers in endgame.
Three weaken sources keep the bucket full when the gun is off-target: the catalyst (primary), Vortex + Echo of Undermining (ignition / off-screen targets), and Deadfall's tether (the heavy hitter for a boss or dense pack).

Stats & mods

Class 200 → Health → Weapons. Class up so Gambler's/Vanishing Step cycle fast (invis is the Volatile engine), Health for the floor under Devour, Weapons pushed for the Void primary's chip. Grenade is a soft secondary — only needed to bootstrap and for the occasional weaken. Archetype lean: a Class/Health survivability set with a Weapons kicker.

Mods:

Boots: Void Weapon Surge ×2 (surge damage to Buried Bloodline) · Orbs of Restoration (orb pickup → ability energy — you make a flood of orbs via Harvest).
Arms: Special Ammo Scavenger — keep the green ammo flowing · Grenade Kickstart for the bootstrap grenade.
Chest: one each of Arc/Solar/Void Resistance under the Devour + invis survivability layers.
Class item: Powerful Attraction (dodge vacuums your Harvest orbs/breaches → automatic Starvation Devour refresh) · Bomber.
Surge: Void Weapon Surge — funnels damage into the sidearm and the Void primary.
Anti-Champion: none intrinsic on the sidearm — bring it on the Void primary's archetype (see Champion coverage) and lean on the artifact's Overload Grenades for the third.

Artifact — NPA Repulsion Regulator

The all-Void artifact for an all-Void loop: it turns the catalyst's weaken-on-hit and the orb/breach flood into more Volatile, more Void Breaches and free overshield, and hands the build the Overload coverage it delegates off-weapon (Vortex Grenade).

Picks (2/3/2):

Tier 1: Volatile Flow · Unto The Breach
Tier 2: Overload Grenades · Protective Breach · Counter Charge
Tier 3: Supernova · Void Weapon Channeling

Volatile Flow re-arms Void Volatile Rounds off your Harvest orbs — backs up Gyrfalcon's so the sidearm always detonates, even between invis cycles.
Unto The Breach makes every weakened kill a Void-debuffed kill → a guaranteed Void Breach → Echo of Starvation refreshes Devour, tightening the loop.
Overload Grenades turns Vortex Grenade into an Overload stun — the one champion type the gun can't cover.
Protective Breach tops up an overshield off each constant Void Breach, layered under Devour.
Counter Charge feeds Armor Charge into your mod economy off champion stuns.
Supernova makes a picked-up Void Breach turn your next Void hit into a weakening pulse — doubling down on the team-debuff identity.
Void Weapon Channeling buffs Buried Bloodline's own damage off Void weapon kills.

Where it shines

Endgame add-clear & sustain (GMs, Master/Legend, solo dungeons): infinite Devour + Hungering Quarrel lifesteal makes you the survivability anchor, and the constant team-wide weaken is free damage for everyone.
Boss/miniboss damage support: you're not the DPS gun, you're the debuff — paint the boss with weaken (catalyst + Deadfall) and let your Heavy and the fireteam cash it in.
Champion coverage: Buried Bloodline has no anti-champion intrinsic (manifest champion = none) and no bespoke stun in its exotic text — it does not stun champions itself. Cover Barrier/Unstoppable with your Void primary's archetype (Anti-Champion 2.0), cover Overload with the artifact's Overload Grenades on Vortex, and lean on Deadfall's suppress + the constant weaken to neuter Overload regen and thin champion health for the team.

Verify notes

Element/ammo/RPM confirmed from `data/weapon_facts.json`: Damage = Void, type Sidearm, ammo = Special, RPM = 100, intrinsic champion = none. Prose corrected to state RPM 100 and an explicit "no champion" (the un-normalised file was already correct on element/ammo).

Echo fragments (Starvation, Harvest, Persistence, Undermining, Instability) sourced from `docs/encyclopedia/fragments.md`; Echo of Instability's +10 Melee and Harvest's orb+breach are the manifest stat deltas.
Weaken ≈15% and exact Volatile detonation numbers are the interaction from the encyclopedia; the precise percentages are manifest/tuning stat-block values, flagged here rather than invented. Clarity confirms weakened kills spawn a Void Breach + an Orb (2.5% Super) and Void grenades weaken for 6s.
Snare Bomb appears as "Quickfall" in some manifest strings; the Nightstalker melee that grants invis + smoke is the intended pick.
