It's time to UN-SCRUB!!!
I'm seeing a lot of posts on Thorn lately, and so have you. IB has brought out the Thorny-Pain-in-my-Felwinter's Lie side of people, so I want to know:
How do YOU counter Thorn?
If you're winning Thorn encounters 7+ times out of 10, what weapons are you using? Do you rush or evade?
I'm looking for (Gun + Tactic) = WIN
Example: Hawkmoon + Sniper Headshots

Punch their shit face in

Don't let them kill you

Edited by SmilyYellowFace: 5/5/2015 4:11:32 AMIf 2 players of equal skill enter a gunfight and one of them is wielding a Thorn, there are exactly three ways the other person can win. 1) Exotic Hand Cannons 2) Special Weapons 3) Heavy Weapons 'Pussy out' is also an option, but it works worse against Thorn than it does against literally every other gun in the entire game. Not that viable, but worth a shot in desperate situations.

Gun = feet. Tactic = run. I don't try to stand and bang. Even if I pull the trigger first with my mida and land shots, they can just turn and fire and make me have to strafe for cover. I'll come at them later or not at all. I would rather not die than have a chance to kill them and then....STILL DIE

Hawkmoon.
-
I snipe them usually. If you can't kill them up close, kill them from afar.
-
Red Death
-
You can't. . You just die when I shoot you with it . Hhhhaaaaaa... Hhhhhhhhaaaaa ha. Ha . Ha. . Ha ...... Hhhhhhhhhaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa ... Ha . Ha

Blink,... shotgun, done on to the next kill ...

Thorn or red death
-
Dodge duck dip dive and dodge with a vex in the mix
-
Hawkmoon red death throwing knives and triple jump have saved me a couple times.
-
Praedyths timepiece whilst strafing. That thing is attracted to skulls
-
I treat the thorn like any other weapon. If I'm fired upon then I take cover. I return fire when I can or I fall back and use the support of my team if available.
-
Last word is better than the thorn by miles But I rather use the mida
-
Use thorn
-
Simple. Dance. Throws them off every time. [spoiler]jk this doesn't work at all[/spoiler]
-
Close range with Tlw or vex. You'll -blam!- their day up
-
Strafe and vision of confluence. Grenade and strafe, super and strafe, melee melee strafe. Not hard to beat a thorn
-
Learn to strafe
-
I'm using red death and I kill them long before they land two headshots
-
Depends on the map. I counter many thorn user at SoT and The Anomaly with VoC :D
-
First encounter with a Thorn user, accept the fact that it is in play. Recognize the user. When you see them again, win or lose that first fight, give yourself an advantage ( i.e., grenades, close the distance, use your surroundings, bait them ). In the end, the best gunplay wins. I best them on a regular basis with "below-par" guns ( such as the Hardlight )

TFWPKY 1969 + shoot him until he dies = all the win.
-
Use a thorn.
