No Land Beyond is an exotic sniper rifle in Destiny added in the The Dark Below expansion pack. It can be obtained from Xûr, Agent of the Nine or as a random drop from an Exotic primary engram. Because of its incredibly niche role in Destiny, it is widely considered to be one of, if not the most useless exotic weapon in Destiny because of both this and the amount of time required to become familiar and comfortable with how the weapon handles, some of it having to do with the entire ironsights moving with the player when strafing and aiming down the sights, which is not seen on any other Sniper Rifle. A huge problem is that after each shot you have to reload, making it so that if you miss a head shot in crucible, you can quickly hit them again. However, there are some people who prefer the ironsights of the No Land Beyond and use it in competitive modes such as the Trials of Osiris and do very well with it due to being motivated by the challenge.

Gameplay

Year One

Unlike other Sniper Rifles, No Land Beyond is equipped in the player's primary weapon slot. It features a unique bolt-action reload mechanic, which requires the player to manually cycle the weapon between every shot, reducing its overall rate of fire. It is also the only sniper rifle to not feature a traditional scope, but instead use iron sights.

Year Two

Year 2 brought no significant changes to this weapons, with the exception of a minor tweak to the ironsights.

Trivia

  • The weapon design is based off the PTRS-41
  • The name of the weapon is a reference to the Soviet sniper Vasily Zaytsev. One of his famous quotes during the battle of Stalingrad was "There is no land beyond the Volga".
  • Devrim Kay uses a weapon that bears a striking resemblance to No Land Beyond in Destiny 2.
