{{Quote|Some of us know the difference a Fireteam makes. Some of us...we touch the Void. Make it a part of us. And then we take a name...Nightstalker. Hunt from the shadows, pin them down, never let them see you coming.|[[Cayde-6]]}} | |||
Nightstalkers are rare among [[Hunter]]s as they wield the [[Light]] to summon their own '''Dusk Bows''': bows made of [[Void]] energy that can tether enemies with their signature Shadowshots, creating [[Orbs of Power]] for their allies. According to [[Tevis Larsen]], a key aspect for Hunters to wield the Void is to have no fear of it.<ref name=TNST2>'''Bungie (2015/9/15)''', ''[[The Taken King]], Activision Blizzard, [[A Ranger Found]]''</ref> Another aspect of being a Nightstalker is that they must always experience feelings of deprivation including hunger and exhaustion in order to commune with the Void, as the absence of all sensation is fundamental for Hunters to tap into their rogue-like abilities which includes vanishing into the shadows with invisibility and weakening their enemies with smoke bombs. In addition to their Shadowshots, Nightstalkers may also conjure dual-wielding blades of Void Light and cloak themselves stealthily to stalk their foes undetected. | |||
