I can’t stress how fun this concept is. D1 had this to a degree, but it was completely abandoned in D2.
I’d really like to see this return. Nightfall specific drops were a very poor attempt at bringing dedicated loot drops back.
Please consider this for D3.

For the die hardship, destiny will always be their game. Their space Based call of duty. Where no one plays the story line but does the PVP over and over. That is why the game is chopped and dribbled out behind pay walls, why as time goes on, weaker and weaker content is provided. Borderlands 3 is going to provide full game, at release. They fixed gun handling, added more flexibility to character builds, solo players will have some support in NPC reviving players. They took good aspects from destiny like the mail box, so loot is not lost. Added game modes so loot ninjas can’t take all the good stuff, players of different levels can face adds of similar levels, or not, their choice. Borderlands has always allowed players to play their style, trading and gifting great loots has always been a part of BL. BL3 has the promise of being everything Destiny claimed to be but never was. Since BL never had a PVP, they pour all that effort into content, no one asks for nerfs, or rebalance. Basically if you have to pit yourself against other players for your entertainment, a KDI is what builds your self esteem, Borderlands is not going to be your game. But if you like PVE, with lots of content, side quests, challenges then this game is going to put Destiny to shame. I expect BL 3 release to have more content then destiny 1 and 2 combined. The really sad thing is Destiny 3. Should they go with the same model call of duty model, after BL, of paywalled content, minimal effort, I don’t care what game they are famous for, they don’t own that title anymore. I for one have a low opinion of them, and no trust to receive fair value for their games.
