Add Sunset Strike-Specific Weapons/Gear into Normal Strike Playlist

Due to Vanguard Weapons being tied to Nightfalls, giving them an incentive to grind, it would serve normal Strikes greatly if they had an incentive to grind as well. Currently, the only real reason to play Strikes is to get Weekly Pinnacle and Powerful Gear (with some Bright Dust on the side), but if a player is already max Power, these incentives have little meaning. Ever since I hit 1330, I have found myself having no drive to play Strikes. Adding back in old Nightfall specific weapons to the normal Strike playlist would give players a great incentive to play and even add some excitement into the end loot drop. Could even bring back D1 strike weapons and gear. NOTE: I am not saying these drops should be guaranteed, still make them RNG based. Here's where they could drop in the updated Strike rotation as of Year 5 (anything in [ ] will be from D1: [b]Devil's Lair:[/b] Warden's Law (Hand Cannon), Mindbender's Ambition (Shotgun), [Devil's Dawn (Sniper Rifle)], [Sepiks Deposed Bond (Warlock Class Item)] [b]S.A.B.E.R. 2.0:[/b] Braytech Osprey (Rocket Launcher), [Baron's Ambition (Machine Gun)], [Devouring Maw (Warlock Helmet)], [Anathema Cannon Mark (Titan Class Item)] [b]Arm's Dealer:[/b] Tilt Fuse, [Treads Upon Stars (Scout Rifle)] [b]Lake of Shadows:[/b] Militia's Birthright (Grenade Launcher), [Stolen Will (Shotgun)], [Hood of Malok (Hunter Helmet)] [b]The Disgraced:[/b] Duty Bound (Auto Rilfe), [Grasp of Malok (Pulse Rilfe)], [Omnigul Bond (Warlock Class Item)] [b]Proving Grounds:[/b] DFA (Hand Cannon), [Mau'ual's Maulers (Titan Gantlets)] [b]Exodus Crash:[/b] Impact Velocity (Sparrow), [Does Not Bow (Auto Rifle)], [Cloak of Taniks (Hunter Class Item)] [b]Insight Terminus:[/b] The Long Goodbye (Sniper Rifle), [Psion Flayer Mantles Arc, Solar, Void (Hunter Class Item)] [b]The Inverted Spire:[/b] Universal Wavefunction (Ship), Trichromatic (Ghost Shell), [Theosylon Vibrissase Gauntlets (Warlock Gauntlets)] [b]The Glassway:[/b] Silicon Neuroma (Sniper Rifle), [Imago Loop (Hand Cannon)], [Mark of the Undying Mind (Titan Class Item)] [b]The Corrupted:[/b] Horror's Least (Pulse Rifle), [Taken Armor--All Classes] [b]The Scarlet Keep:[/b] Wormgod Incarnation (Transmat Effect), [Darkblade Healm (Titan Helmet)], [Darkblade's Spite (Fusion Rifle)], [Mongrel Ogre's Grasp (Hunter Gauntlets)] Probably missed a few, but you get the idea. Plenty of weapons, gear, and armor to grind for in an activity that becomes extremely irrelevant after the first couples weeks of a season.
