How I Think A Destiny BR Could Work (and be better than pretty much any other BR)

TL;DR - Each numbered point makes up what I think could make a Destiny BR significantly different from anything else available. 1. Regenerating shields: The fact that health pickups would not have to be part of the loot pool would immediately make a Destiny BR feel totally different from any other BR currently on the market. It opens up the map for a variety of different loot spawns 2: Randomized Weapons: Let's say that all the weapons on the map are the same (i.e only one type of each archetype of weapon can spawn), however, when that weapon is first picked up the perks (or maybe just one perk) on it is randomized. So you drop in, first weapon you find is a Better Devils. You pick it up and it rolls with rangefinder and outlaw. You kill someone later in the game who also picked up a Better Devils. When you loot that person their better devils has opening shot and kill clip so you pick that one up instead. This would make each weapon feel unique without making it so that attachments and things like that need to be spread on the map. 3: Stat Boosters: Throughout the map there would be "stat boosters"; when you pick one up you would be able to choose to boost resilience, recover, or mobility. This makes it so that the map wouldn't have to be cluttered with specific stat boosters. But when you kill someone you would be able to pickup whatever boosters they had chosen. So you kill a player and they had spec'd for resilience. So you collect some of their resilience boosters and you're good to go. I do think that a limit would have to be placed on this. For instance, across all the stats you could only have a total of 10 boosters. This would make late game play more strategic depending on the final zone and your own preference. 4: The Art Direction and Scenic Design: in my opinion, Destiny is one of the most artistically well designed games available. Being able to showcase this with a large map and differing biomes would be a huge boost for this particular BR over other. 5: Sparrows: the existence of sparrows and the ease at which we all use them is widely known. However, I feel that they are underused in the game as it stands now and could benefit greatly from a Battle Royale mode. Obviously there would be a long cooldown if your sparrow is destroyed, however, it allows for a much faster pace of play. I also think this, in particular, allows for a radical change in the way that the closing death zone (gas, storm, etc) functions. In a Destiny BR the death zone could be much more deadly because of how fast the overall pace of the game is. This would allow for more playing for position and a lot less people riding the edge of the zone as it closes because getting caught it in it would be very detrimental. 6: Evereverse: Bungie (and obviously Activision) are looking for an easier way to get players to spend money on microtransactions. Having weapon ornaments, emblems, shaders, and the like that are all linked to BR would add another avenue for Eververse to peddle their overpriced goods "for trade". 7: Additions to "The Darkness": A BR could allow Bungie's storytellers to have another outlet for expanding on the idea of the darkness and where we stand in it. Perhaps the death zone that slowly closes on this map is made up of entities of darkness? I'm nowhere near a scholar of the Lore so I won't try to explain it more than that but I think that this gives Bungie another place to expand on their Lore. Overall I think that a BR set in the Destiny universe could be far more fun and appeal to a larger player base than the Crucible itself does and it could give people who don't particularly care for the current Battle Royale offerings--another place to play this mode that appeals to their style. I, for one, moved to playing games like Fortnite and Ring of Elysium during the last summer and early fall of 2018 because Destiny was not appealing or fun to play and those games were. Obviously these are just rough ideas and may not work for one reason or another but I thought that I would post this here just because I've been thinking about this a lot and I think that Bungie stands in a good position to do something that no one else is doing.
