Hunter - Gunslinger
Image Source: Destiny Wikia
Gunslinger subclass is a DPS sub-class and focuses on dealing heavy damage on a single target. The gunslinger's highest stat is Agility which boosts movement speed and maximum jump height. The gunslinger's skill tree also focuses on the player's abilities thus, there are no modifiers that provided specific weapon boosts.
Grenades
Each class have the ability to use three different grenades but only one can be carried at a time. Grenades have a cooldown of 55 seconds. The stat attribute Discipline reduces the cooldown timer of grenades, allowing you to use this ability more often.
ncendiary Grenade |
Deals solar (fire) damage to enemies caught in the blast, and causing them to burn, dealing extra damage. |
Swarm Grenade |
A grenade that detonates on impact and releases multiple homing drones that will see on nearby targets. |
Tripmine Grenade |
An explosive that can stick to any surface and will detonate when enemies "trip over" the laser line. |
Movement
Each class have their own movement ability. This allows them to cover more distances, reach higher ground, or just simply become more mobile. the Hunters movement ability is Double Jump. There are three modifiers which can only be activated one at a time.
Better Control |
Players will have better control mid-air after double jumping. |
Triple Jump |
Players can do an additional jump in addition to the double jump. The height you can reach using this modifier is just the same as a double jump with Higher Jump modifier on. |
Higher Jump |
Increases the height gain from double jumping. The height reached is same as the Triple Jump. |
Super Ability
The Gunslinger's ability is called the Golden Gun. When activated, the Gunslinger pulls out a flaming Hand Cannon with three bullets. These bullets can deal devastating damage to any target, instantly vaporizing any target who gets killed with one shot. This super ability is quite useful against bosses and hardened targets in PvE while it allows Gunslingers to instantly take out any player in PvP.
Golden Gun's timer is exactly four minutes and 30 seconds though the cooldown will be significantly cut down by collecting orbs of light dropped by allies after using their super abilities. The attribute Intellect also improves the cooldown of super abilities. Like the grenades and movement skills, there are three bonus modifiers that can improve the Golden Gun's effects but only one can be activated at a time.

Drastically increases the accuracy of the Golden Gun. |
Combustion |
Enemies killed by Golden Gun will explode |
Gunfighter |

Melee Abilities
Melee abilities are similar to grenades and super abilities. They also need to cooldown after 55 seconds before you can use them again. The attribute Strength improves the cooldown of your melee abilities. There are three melee ability modifiers but you can only activate one at a time.
The Gunslinger's melee ability is called the Throwing Knife. As the name implies, the player can throw a knife that can deal high damage to the target. It seems to be able to land precision hits as well with minimal effort from the player.
Circle of Life |
Killing an enemy with the Throwing Knife while the Golden Gun is active will extend Golden Gun's duration |
Incendiary Blade |
Enemies hit by Throwing Knife will catch fire and continue to suffer damage until the effect wears off |
Knife Juggler |
