[Question] Last Word vs. Thorn for PVE

I've been using Suros REGIME (my fav gun) as my main for virtually everything, except when I need exotic secondary/heavy. I couldn't find any updated information on which between The Last Word and Thorn is better for PVE. I was just about to start leveling up my Last Word until last night I got the Thorn exotic bounty. I love my Suros in PVP and can't find myself switching to a handgun for that, but for PVE I feel like a handgun may be better in certain situations. Any opinions and reasoning would be appreciated, thanks in advanced!

  • I mentioned this in another post. There is nothing stopping you from using Last Word or Thorn in pve. If you have fun using it, go for it. The way I see it more fun = use to handling it = better at killing with it Now, in my opinion, I would choose Thorn in pve setting for several reasons: -the dot keeps shields down on majors while you reload and keep going -it can over penetrate and take out any other targets behind your main target -final round perk HOWEVER, in the right hands and experienced FPS shooter, those who can land those precision head shots from the hip deserve the Last Word. It really is a beast.

  • TLW is the best PvP hand cannon, but Thorn is better at everything for PvE...

  • In my opinion Thorn is better, my personal favourite primary weapon, used The Last Word for a while and it's good but it lacks a certain something

    • Both are nuts. I have success with the thorn as it fits my playstyle, however people much better than me swear by the last word. If you keep the fight in the range the last word is effective and don't miss it is nearly unbeatable.

    • Pve, I'd be laughing at you for using the last word. Thorn maybe but stick with your beloved suros. PvP However, thorn or the last word are a blast to use!! Close quarter map is the last words play ground where as thorn has decent range once upgraded and the DoT effect on the thorn is pretty good at keeping their health from regenerating when they hide, perfect timing for a granade toss ;)
