In the MMO shooter Destiny 3 players managed to play their way to Mercury using the notoriously bad “No Land Beyond”.
“You only see the Thorn“, “Supers are too strong”, “sniper rifles with Last Round are too much”, all of this has been heard in the past weeks, often rightly so, about the Crucible of Destiny. It might give the impression: It doesn’t matter what you can do, but what weapon you are carrying.
Last week, the map Widow’s Court was featured in the “Trials of Osiris” – a paradise for snipers. Three players took this as an opportunity to tackle challenges using only the exotic retro sniper rifle “No Land Beyond”. The weapon is still considered “a joke”, repeatedly chosen as the weakest weapon, yet that is exactly what attracts top players looking for a challenge: Because once again, really good players can extract golden moments.
The three tried to get by mostly without supers and grenades. They didn’t quite manage it. However, they used only “No Land Beyond” as their weapon. How far they got and how it all works, you can see in this video:
