Anytime I run across another player in crucible running 'No Land Beyond' I have respect for that player.
I personally find it to be one of the most powerful weapons in PVP when used with the proper loadout and secondary weapon.
I wanted to create this thread to share what I've found to be the perfect loadout for me and find out what other 'no land beyond' players found to be their perfect loadout.
CLASS: Hunter
SUBCLASS: Bladedancer
--------
IMPORTANT SUBCLASS PERKS:
FLUX GRENADE - Helps protect you in close quarters when you miss your first shot or being charged
BLINK JUMP: if your first shot doesn't kill your opponent the animation time for reload and blink are nearly the same so once you recover from blink your gun will be ready to shoot without leaving you vulnerable.
FAST TWITCH: No land beyond is perfect for long to mid range so having your blink strike melee ready is clutch for when you are be if charged.
QUICK DRAW: Provsbly thee most important perk and the reason I use no land beyond with my hunter. being able to switch weapons and fire immediately is important for follow up shots with your secondary when you miss the headshot.
HUNGERING BLADE: Combined with fast twitch this is crucial for close engagements and helps regenerate your health when you kill an enemy with blink.
-------
NO LAND BEYOND PERKS:
ACCURIZED BULLETS: Since the weapon fires one shot between reloads, impact and range is more important than soft ballistics.
LIGHTWEIGHT: Combined with the subclass perks listed above, lightweight is the most beneficial perk that will help you strafe faster when aiming down your sights. Most of my kills are when I anticipate an enemy rounding a corner.
------
SECONDARY WEAPON:
My secondary varies based on map size. for small maps I run MATADOR SHOTGUN, medium maps I run SPLIT SHIFTER PRO FUSION and large maps VESTIAN DYNASTY sidearm for long range follow up shots when you hit an enemy. Any shotgun with high impact or fusion with short charge rate will work.
------
IMPORTANT ARMOR;
KNUCKLEHEAD RADAR: Having radar active at all times is important when using NLB. every shot counts so being able to anticipate enemies before they round corners allows you to pre scope head level for instant kills. when playing rumble or control this in invaluable
LUCKY RASPBERRY: When playing skirmish, trials or revive based games spawning with a grenade is invaluable for sticking enemies with flux grenade when you miss your shot.
INTELLECT, DISCIPLINE, STRENGTH: purchase gear with high intellect and discipline. since I am
using fast twitch perk, there is no need for having strength based armor.
RECOMMENDED ARMOR PERKS: Increases melee attack speed, grenade kills replenish super energy, increased grenade throw distance, more ammo for special weapons.
-----
FINAL TIPS:
- After every shot or kill switch to your secondary weapon to protect yourself while your gun animation reloads.
- When aiming use the right stick to raise gun head level and left stick to strafe for accurate kills. many people make the mistake of trying to aim with primarily the right stick.

Now that you have heard from me I'm curious to hear some of the loadouts you guys use when running no land beyond.

I actually change my sticks so that I can strafe left and right and look up and down with one stick.
