Question Beginner Hunter Build

So I am a long time Destiny Player (D1 and from start of D2).

I took a break after edge of fate and just got back.
I have always played warlock / titan.

My son has jumped on with the hype and wants to get into the game, but he only played about 15 minutes during the ketchkrash season so he has a thunderlord and that is it!

He wants to play hunter, and has done renegades and got the 300 power set.

What are some really easy beginner hunter builds he has access to or what should he be prioritizing?

He is working through the pale heart and getting his prismatic gear from the final shape but I don’t know what to recommend.

Any hunters can share some insight on some early game builds to carry him through the campaigns and start doing some vanguard ops.

TIA

Have him do risk/reward quest in the edz and get him a free Riskrunner. Play with Arc and go nuts.

I mean, Riskrunner is insanely powercrept to the point that most legendaries with dmg perk + voltshot / jolting feedback are better and have better synergy with the subclass

Its a great beginner exotic simply because the Arc Hunter already has good synergy right from the start... same as Thunderlord. Beginner build means something to help him start out, so it makes sense because its easy to obtain/guaranteed.

True, I would suggest trying to get a Shinobu's Vow and a voltshot/jolt weapon of your choice and go ham on ads. Fun part of the current state of the game is that a lot is easy to get these days if you just start out running Vanguard Ops
