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

Use a thorn.
-
Once again... Sit the -blam!- down
-
Once my screen goes green I head straight to cover. I have a couple of thorns, I love them just prefer different primaries personally. I don't believe it should be nerfed, hardest exotic bounty and I put up with crappy k/d in crucible just to get it
-
Red death killing weak link in the enemy team or killing them simply regent health for a sec and stops it from 2 shotting you
-
Get behind cover if poisoned badly, uh otherwise just try to doge and shoot? Red Death is great for countering Thorn too
-
Shoot them. It's not that hard
-
Run around a corner and sit down
-
Skill
-
I feel like the people giving tips probably die from it everytime but then theres that one time where their gun worked and they are like omg it works all the time
-
Tlw, sit down if its burning
-
It's obvious: with MY Thorn
-
I don't😐
-
Go cover to cover then destroy them in CQB. Similar tactics with sniper.
-
Red death.....
-
Hawkmoon hits like a train and if you get the first shot off you will most likely cause them to miss the 2nd headshot and it has much better mid-long range shooting
-
Hawkmoon or Thorn lol
-
Mida + maxed agility & headshots + evading. I like finding a nice little place a ways back from a choke point I know the other team always pushes and just fire away as they try to push forward. Thorn, TLW, shotguns, even snipers usually fail to my mida unless they are lucky enough to have unflinching, even then my speed is too fast for them to land a head shot usually. - anomaly and asylum the gun still performs great but it's harder to find a good spot a ways back. You just have to get a feel for the team you're up against and find the best location to get those head shots.

Red Death plus good us of cover. Unflinching means you can nail those bursts real easy, even if they're firing at you, and doing so makes their aim worse. If a Thorn user cant hit their target, there's no DOT. Three good bursts and their down. Once you kill them, the Red Death perk does away with any poison damage you may have sustained. If you can't get a solid hit on them, at the least you can make them duck, which means you too can duck...and Red Death reloads a lot faster than Thorn does. You can be ready to fight and in a position to hit them when they duck back out of cover before they're even halfway done putting a new magazine in. If you're a Voidwalker (which I often am) you can make their lives even harder by lobbing a Axion bolt grenade out. If you've managed to land a couple hits on them before they ducked behind cover, the grenade will kill them outright. Think it would work about the same with the equivilent grenades of Sunsinger/Hunter/Titan subclasses

Three words: The Last Word.
-
Find cover, get closer, the Last Word. 60% of the time, it works EVERY time.
-
Red death
-
By using another thorn and being better than them ? Seriously it's 50% weapon , 50 % skill it doesn't matter if your weapon is overpowered if you don't know how to use it
-
I use vex with patience and time invis
-
Red Death does work on Thorn.
-
nade/melee sticky nade assist...lulz
-
Red death the health regen cancels out the burn and has a similar time to kill if you are accurate
