She’s scantily clad, flirty, and probably horny. She’s exactly kind of freak you’d meet at an anime convention (and would question hooking up with), except here she’s selling you wares for your travels....

Destiny 2 Nullify god roll – Best perks and attachments

Weapons inDestiny 2can be great with minimal upgrades, but there’s something about kitting out weapons with a god roll setup that sends them far, far beyond. TheNon-Denouement, for example, a bow from the Salvation’s Edge raid, isn’t that great on its own. However, two specific perks can turn it into a budget version of the Trinity Ghoul exotic bow.
