Beware: Extreme Destiny nerdery ahead.

Destiny‘s raids are endgame content. You’re not playing one until you’ve sunk a good 10 to 15 hours into the game, at the very least. And even then, you need to coordinate with five friends who are at a similar point in the game (or use a site like DestinyLFG) and find a time when you can all commit a few hours to figuring out these massive, multi-part quests.

At least, that’s what most people need to do. Not YouTube user Silverhawkz0 though. Others have tackled the Crota’s End raid solo already, so this Guardian went the extra mile and accomplished the feat using Destiny‘s worst gun: No Land Beyond.

No Land Beyond is an Exotic sniper rifle that, along with Crota’s End, was included as part of Destiny‘s recent The Dark Below expansion. It stands apart from every other sniper rifle in the game in that it can only be equipped as a primary weapon (all other sniper rifles go in the secondary slot). It’s also a bolt-action rifle that needs to be cocked after each shot, and its ammo maxes out at 22 bullets (a 6-shot clip).

Sure, it’s powerful. But it shoots super slow and it has virtually no ammo. In a fast-moving, high-volume game like Destiny, it’s awful.

Now that you have the necessary context, why not give this bananas runthrough of Crota’s End a watch. It’s broken into five parts, all embedded below. Congratulations, Silverhawk0. You possess skills that most mortals do not possess.

Part I: Abyss

Part II: Bridge

Part III: Thrallway

Part IV: Deathsinger

Part V: Crota

Is Destiny 2: The Witch Queen a good intro for newbies?
Promo art for Destiny 2: The Witch Queen.

Destiny 2 is an extremely dense game. Before today, I'd played it for around 15 hours and already had that message imprinted deep in my brain. There's a ridiculous amount of content in this game, so many locations to visit and nonplayable characters to talk to. For a new player, it's all overwhelming. It's why I struggled to start playing the game to begin with. It floods you with so many icons and pop-ups that you'll immediately want a simpler experience.
