Scatter Grenade is a popular choice for some Warlock Builds, which is often chosen when using the Void Subclass for its damage capabilities.
Getting your hands on the Nothing Manacles (Exotic Gauntlets) provides you with a way to use Scatter Grenade more often and with better efficiency.
While obtaining these Exotic Gauntlets may require a bit of a grind and some luck, they can be very effective with builds that are meant to clear enemies out quickly.
How To Get Nothing Manacles?
You can obtain Nothing Manacles as a random reward from activities or enemy drops, though relying on luck can make the process take a significant amount of time.
A more reliable method is to focus on Nothing Manacles with Master Rahool in the Tower, which allows you to specifically target the Exotic instead of waiting for random drops.
To do this, access the Novel Decryption page found within Master Rahool’s Focused Decoding section, giving you a direct path to unlocking the Exotic.
Unlocking Nothing Manacles through this method requires spending one Exotic Engram and one Exotic Cipher, ensuring a guaranteed acquisition without needing to rely on chance.
Armor Perks
Scatter Charge
Equipping Nothing Manacles Exotic Gauntlets grants this armor perk, giving you an additional Scatter Grenade charge to use more frequently during combat encounters.
The perk also enables tracking for Scatter Grenade projectiles, making it easier to hit enemies even when they are moving or trying to evade your attacks.
Finally, Scatter Grenade final blows generate additional Scatter Grenade projectiles, boosting your overall damage output and enhancing your crowd control potential in group fights.
Nothing Manacles Uses
Nothing Manacles is a strong Exotic Helmet option for most Prismatic builds and pairs especially well with several Strand-focused setups that emphasize ability synergy.
The ability to suspend enemies through Rift makes it highly effective for crowd control, while also improving survivability when dealing with large groups of combatants.
When combined with other abilities, Malevolent Grasp provides reliable supplemental damage, allowing Rift to function as an active source of pressure rather than a purely defensive tool.
Verdict
Nothing Manacles is a top-tier Exotic for Void Warlocks who rely on Scatter Grenades to deal consistent area-of-effect damage against groups of enemies.
The extra grenade charge, tracking, and additional projectiles from final blows allow you to hit multiple targets reliably while keeping your damage output high in combat.
This makes Nothing Manacles especially effective for clearing waves of enemies quickly, controlling space during PvE encounters, and chaining abilities for sustained offensive pressure.
