This is a post to promote positivity, creativity and inspiration for a game we all love. This isn't aimed to look like whining, feeling entitled or anything like that. I love the game, I love the gun. Simple.
100% sure NLB is a Golden Age weapon so if you're bringing TLW back, this would be only be fair. It was my whole playstyle in Destiny 1 and I even helped over 100 people to the lighthouse using it so lots of fond memories.
It was so unique and had such a following and skill gap that I would love to see it return with a few new changes (if you don't like the idea of just bringing the original over). Here are a few ideas I had getting all giddy thinking about how I would personally bring it into D2.
Combine any number of the strengths and weakness's as you like to make it balanced in your eyes. I would personally choose:
(S) Remastered 'The Master' perk
(S) Lightweight frame
(W) Slow fire rate and reload
(W) Rechamber each bullet instead of a magazine.
[u]Strength ideas:[/u]
- Make it a Kinectic sniper like in D1 therefore giving it an entire mag (6) to start the game with. Collect more ammo from regular crucible kill grey ammo drops.
- Leave the 'reload' glitch' in there (it kept my hands busy at the end of a round)
- Rework 'The Master' to be more in line with its namesake. Give two shots upon spawn (like the other snipers) but pull one bullet from the ether and add it to the mag for each precision kill. (extra option) - consistent back to back headshots will reward +2 bullets and +3 bullets for the players 2nd and 3rd head shot in a
row respectively because we will (eventually) miss a shot so these extra shots would be a nice fallback in exchange for consistent precision)
- Lightweight frame to reward the mobile playstyle that it encourages
- New, cleaner iron sight or the reworked Y2 D1 iron sight.
[u]Weakness ideas:[/u]
- Dont give it snapshot. The org didnt. It was hard to use, dont dumb it down. Make the handling so low that without the best armour perks, its VERY sluggish (think spindle if not worse at its works and a little slower than Alone as a God with the best perks)
- Make it a single-shot rifle (one bullet entered into the chamber at a time - I dont mean bolt action) rather than a magazine based reload. The key point of this would be again, difficulty and character, and two: one of its intrinsic perks would be a faster 'reload' speed when you get a critical hit, preserving the perfectionist playstyle it had in D1. So if you body people, you have a SLOW rechambering animation.
- Massive recoil.
- Overlapping sights (OG NLB)
- Long reload, like the original and slow fire rate.
If you can think of any others, let me know :)

bring it back. I know a lot of people who loved it and it was a great gun. Had a learning curve but was a monster in PVP. Think about it Bungie
-
I'd honestly love no land beyond back
-
New stuff, please
-
Doesn’t look like anybody likes no land beyond.
-
I have some ideas: -6 shots in mag like in D1. -remove the rapid fire trick, but make it so that precision kills immediately chamber the next shot. -give it low body shot damage (like 85 in pvp, but LUDICROUS precision damage (on tier with Whisper with the catalyst) -trait could be box breathing or snapshot idk -Catalyst increases handling and reload speed, and allows shots fired to completely ignore energy shields. -It might have to use special ammo for it to be this good, but I don't know.
-
Nlb isn't golden age. That shit was from the dark ages. What golden age gun do you see that needs chambering every shot?
-
Tbh I’d say same as D1, but Special Ammo and precision kills double the bolt action speed.
-
It was one of my most favourite weapons in D1...so please bring it back Bungie! Had so many great moments with it..

Edited by --KNIGHT--: 10/28/2018 4:33:48 PMNLB should make a return at some point. Mainly to make the shotgunners cry and because devrim kay has it in his hands. The master perk could be changed so that: Reloading after a kill increases it's stability and rate of fire until reloaded. Can be stacked up to 3x. (5 shots in magazine but 4 on spawn) That way, headshots are rewarded and it becomes a viable weapon to use

First exotic I got I think in my first nf! It was and will always be a waste of an exotic slot. Note I am a pve player, would rather something new!
-
Yah NLB
-
Bring that sum bitch back, ya hear!!
-
Ew... The horse peepee gun
-
Nope no land was cancer and shouldnt come back go back to d1 if u wanna use nlb
-
No thanks, new weapons please. Make Bungie work for our money rather than give them the green light to reintroduce old weapons.
-
Loved the gun
-
Whoever downvoted this post is a hunter
-
I’ll upvote this, but I’m secretly hoping they keep snapshot in there.
-
I mean, NLB was a pre-Golden Age weapon, but I’m kinda indifferent to it.
-
You mean pre-golden age Weapon. Golden age weapons are things like coldheart.
-
Only if Universal Remote comes back as well.
-
Please NLB is amazing
-
I want this gun back since the launch of D2 haha, I always liked the gun, not that I was really good with it, but still :)
-
Nope I'll take a lever-action Tex Mechanica scout rifle
-
That junker was a repeat exotic I kept getting so it could gladly stay in D1...ill take universal remote or dragons breath over that any day.
-
NLB, no HUD, 1v1. Most terrifying 3 minutes you'll ever experience. Bring it back.
