If you’re like me, using the same loadout for an entire night of Crucible carnage is a no-go. There are so many guns in Destiny – why should we limit ourselves to a select few, just because they’re the best in the game? Okay, that’s the reason, but hear me out. No Land Beyond can be one of the most fun weapons in the game. Don’t believe me? Here’s why I almost always have the NLB available at a moment’s notice.

Randomizing The Crucible Experience
Perfectly average Guardian here, reporting in with some thoughts about my triumphant return to Destiny, after spending almost three weeks away.
