Centerpiece: Tractor Cannon (Shotgun · Heavy · Void) · Subclass: Nightstalker · Role: Team debuff applicator + Volatile/invis engine Sandbox: 9.7.0 · Updated 2026-07-03

One trigger pull does three jobs: it shoves the target off you, it suppresses its abilities, and it dramatically weakens it for the whole fireteam. Weaken is a debuff-bucket multiplier that stacks on top of every other weapon's damage, so the Tractor's real output isn't its pellets — it's the +30% damage everyone else now does to whatever you tagged. Wrap it in a Void Hunter and the suppress/weaken it sprays also feeds Stylish Executioner and Gyrfalcon's Volatile Rounds. The gun is a buff button you fire at the boss.

The weapon

Repulsor Force (intrinsic): "This weapon emits a powerful impulse that pushes targets away, suppressing their abilities and dramatically weakening them. Strong against [Disruption] Overload Champions."

Catalyst — Deeper Pockets: "Increased ammo reserves."

What it does: a one-shot Void shotgun blast that knocks targets back, suppresses them (cancels active abilities, stops regen — handles Overload behaviour and ability-spam elites) and applies the strong "boss" Weaken — a +30% incoming-damage debuff for 10 seconds that lives in its own multiplier bucket, so it multiplies your fireteam's entire damage output against the target on top of surges, Volatile, Radiant, everything. The intrinsic Overload-champion stun means firing it at a champion both stuns it and weakens it. The catalyst is pure quality-of-life — the Clarity numbers show it raises the magazine from 4 to 7 and grants 50 ammo generation, so you can re-weaken on cooldown instead of starving for Power bricks between shots.

Loadout

Slot	Pick	Why
Subclass	Nightstalker (Void)	Weaken/suppress/invis is the native Void verb set — the Tractor's debuff is a subclass keyword, not a one-off.
Super	Shadowshot: Deadfall	Team-wide dramatic Weaken + suppress + groups the pack — a second, ranged copy of the Tractor's debuff for when the gun is on cooldown or out of range.
Class ability	Marksman's Dodge	Reloads the Tractor on demand (its short mag wants topping up between weakens).
Movement	Triple Jump	Air control to peek-weaken priority targets from cover.
Melee	Snare Bomb	Trap that weakens on trigger + grants invis — another debuff source, and invis arms Gyrfalcon.
Grenade	Magnetic Grenade	Sticks + double-detonates; with Echo of Undermining it weakens, so it's a precise extra Weaken delivery.
Aspect 1	Stylish Executioner	Defeating a weakened/suppressed/volatile target → invis + Truesight. The Tractor manufactures all three states, so kills near it trigger this constantly.
Aspect 2	Vanishing Step	Dodging → invis. Pairs with Marksman's Dodge (reload the Tractor and go invis in one button) → Gyrfalcon Volatile on the way out.
Fragments	Undermining · Harvest · Starvation · Cessation	Each either makes a debuff or cashes in a debuffed kill — the four that close the weaken → invis → Devour loop.
Exotic armour	Gyrfalcon's Hauberk (Chest)	Volatile Rounds out of invis arm the Tractor itself; finisher-while-invis buffs all weapons and hands the team a reserve overshield.
Weapons	Void Primary + heavy-DPS Special/Power	A Void auto/pulse cashes the surge and Volatile Rounds; the DPS payload (Linear, Rocket, Sword) is what actually spends the Tractor's +30% Weaken on the boss.

Fragments

Echo of Undermining Void grenades weaken — adds the grenade as a weaken source
Echo of Harvest defeating weakened targets → Orb of Power + Void Breach
Echo of Starvation pick up Breach/Orb → Devour — full heal + grenade refund on kills
Echo of Cessation finisher → Void burst that makes nearby targets volatile

Why it works (the mechanics)

The Tractor's value is the debuff, not the gun. Weaken sits in its own multiplier bucket (+30% to the target from everyone, for 10 seconds per Clarity), so the optimal play is to not try to kill with it — fire it at the boss/champion, then swap to your Power weapon and let the whole fireteam cash the +30%. It's the single biggest team DPS multiplier you can carry that doesn't cost a Super.
Suppress is the Overload answer and an ability-spam kill switch. The intrinsic Overload stun is bespoke (Repulsor Force is intrinsically Anti-Overload, not archetype-derived), and suppress cancels overload/teleport/heal scripts on elites. One blast both stuns the champion and weakens it for the team's burst.
Every Void verb here is one debuff feeding the next. Tractor weakens → Stylish gives invis on the weakened kill → Vanishing Step/Marksman's Dodge keep invis topped → emerge → Gyrfalcon Volatile Rounds apply to the Tractor's own pellets → Volatile/weakened kills → Echo of Harvest → Orb + Breach → Echo of Starvation → Devour. The gun starts a loop that pays for survivability and add-clear.
Deadfall is the Tractor's understudy. When the gun's on cooldown or the target's at range, Shadowshot applies the same dramatic Weaken + suppress to a whole pack — you're never without the debuff. (Weaken does not stack with itself — Tractor and Deadfall are redundant uptime/range sources of the same +30%, not additive to +60%.)
Devour makes it greedy-safe. Weakened kills — which you make nonstop — spawn the Breach/Orb that grants Devour, so you full-heal on kill and refund the grenade. You can dive into shotgun range to weaken without dying for it.
Finisher-while-invis is free value. You're invisible almost constantly (Vanishing Step + Stylish + Snare Bomb), so Gyrfalcon finishers grab the loadout-wide damage bonus and hand the fireteam a reserve overshield with no setup cost.

Stats & mods

Weapons 200 → Health → Class. Weapons juices the Volatile-armed Tractor and your other guns vs minors/majors; Health for survivability behind Devour; Class feeds dodge (your invis + reload button). Grenadier/support lean — the build wins by uptime, not raw Weapons breakpoints.

Mods:

Boots: Void Weapon Surge ×2 (Void damage onto the Tractor and your other Void gun) · Orbs of Restoration.
Arms: Grenade Font · Melee Font (toward Snare Bomb / Magnetic uptime).
Chest: Arc/Solar/Void Resistance (flat DR under Devour + Gyrfalcon overshield).
Class item: Powerful Attraction (dodge vacuums orbs → Starvation Devour) · Bomber (grenade energy on dodge).
Surge: Void Weapon Surge (matches the centerpiece and your Void primary).
Anti-Champion: Overload is intrinsic to the Tractor; bring an Anti-Barrier / Unstoppable archetype (or artifact mod) on the Primary/Power slots for the other two.

Artifact — NPA Repulsion Regulator

The dedicated Void artifact, and a perfect match for a pure-Void Nightstalker: it turns the Tractor's Orb/Breach economy into more Volatile, more overshield, and more Weaken, while extending Overload coverage. The Tractor handles Overload intrinsically; Overload Grenades adds a second Overload source so your Void grenade stuns too.

Picks (2/3/2):

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

Volatile Flow grants Volatile Rounds on Orb pickup — a third Volatile source feeding the Gyrfalcon loop, no invis required.
Unto The Breach makes Void-debuffed kills spawn Void Breaches — the Tractor weakens nonstop, so this floods Breaches into Echo of Starvation Devour.
Protective Breach turns a Void Breach into an overshield, stacking on Gyrfalcon's reserve overshield for layered survivability.
Counter Charge banks Armor Charge on Champion stun — the Tractor's Overload stun now feeds your Surge mods.
Overload Grenades lets Magnetic/Void grenades stun Overloads — a second champion-stun source beyond the gun.
Supernova makes picking up a Void Breach turn your next Void damage into a weakening pulse — extra team Weaken straight off your Breach pickups.

Where it shines

Endgame boss DPS (raids, GMs, dungeons): the Tractor + Deadfall double-Weaken is one of the highest single-target damage multipliers a Hunter can bring to a fireteam — pop Weaken, everyone dumps Power. Pure support carry.
Survivability content (−30/−40): Devour + Gyrfalcon reserve overshield + near-permanent invis (Vanishing Step + Stylish + Snare Bomb) — you debuff from the shadows and heal on every weakened kill.
Champion coverage: Overload intrinsically (bespoke Anti-Overload on Repulsor Force) — suppress also neuters overload regen/teleport. Barrier/Unstoppable are NOT covered by the Tractor; pick those up via your Primary/Power archetypes or Overload Grenades on the grenade.

Verify notes

Manifest weapon facts (`data/weapon_facts.json`): Tractor Cannon = Shotgun · Void · Heavy ammo · 80 RPM · Overload champion. Correction: the previous draft repeatedly labelled the ammo type "Special" and mods around it (Special Ammo Finisher / "Heavy = your DPS payload" framing) — Tractor Cannon is a Heavy/Power weapon, so the DPS payload lives in the Special or Power slot, not the same slot as the Tractor. Meta line, "what it does", and mods corrected to Heavy.
Intrinsic (Repulsor Force) and catalyst (Deeper Pockets, "Increased ammo reserves") quoted verbatim from `docs/encyclopedia/exotics.md` line 340 and `catalysts.md` line 152.
Weaken value: `docs/encyclopedia/clarity_build_numbers.md` (line 3030) gives the exact figure — Repulsor Force applies Suppression + a higher-tier Weaken of +30% for 10 seconds (previously flagged "~30%", now sourced). Same file (line 3023) confirms the catalyst raises the magazine 4→7 and grants 50 ammo generation.

Artifact picks unchanged from the prior draft — NPA Repulsion Regulator with the same exact 2/3/2, reformatted to the tier-bulleted block.
Weaken does not stack with itself — Tractor + Deadfall are redundant uptime/range sources of the same +30% debuff, not additive. Stated in Why it works and Where it shines.
