Bungie will nerf the Thorn

Don't care what any of you say, this gun is THE most overpowered gun ATM You -blam!-ing die in near enough one shot at any range and I'm sorry but I've worked my arse off to get three little words and I'm getting out shot from WELL FAR AWAY Even getting hit once -blam!-s your entire screen up and reveals your location with damage tics It's needs a nerf badly, it's not like the poison does shit to AI enemies anyway so why have a weapon like this which kills you in PVP? Am I allowed to use other weapons Bungie? Can I actually have a change to shoot people that look at me without getting -blam!-ed every time someone with this weapon uses it?? [b]AND YES I HAVE THE WEAPON[/b], yes it's overpowered, no I don't want to use it because unfortunately I like pulse rifles, which also unfortunately get outshot 5/10 times by the POS thorn This game is terrible

  • It takes at least two shots to kill. They both have to be head shots. Other HC's will do that too, won't they?

  • Your problem is using a pulse rifle. The impact you do just isn't up to par for the crucible.

    Out of the list of top 10 most used primaries, it came in 9th. If it is as unbalanced and overpowered as everyone makes it out to be, it should be much higher. And seriously, buff everything else, don't nerf. You're just making PvE players lives more difficult. Edit: as a fellow Guardian pointed out, Thorn is the 3rd most used gun in Crucible. My bad.

    • Amazing! Nobody complained before the buff. A lot of ppl thought it was crappy before. The buff did not add any additional damage. It added 3 more bullets (thorns) and faster reload mainly. I didn't notice the increased stability. This really only made it more useful in pve or engaging more enemies at once. Now that more ppl have it and it is a good all around weapon that people are using the complaining has started. Furthermore you are complaining about an exotic hand cannon being better than your legendary pulse rifle. A user with good aim will often perform better with a scout rifle or hand cannon as all of the damage goes into that one shot that is aimed well Vs. a pulse rifle that will have shot spread. Btw most ppl regard the thorn exotic bounty to be the most difficult.

      • I can't think of anything to comment so I'm just going to post a Blueberry pancake recipe. 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour 1/2 teaspoon salt 1 tablespoon baking powder 1 1/4 teaspoons white sugar 1 egg 1 cup milk 1/2 tablespoon butter, melted 1/2 cup frozen blueberries, thawed 1. In a large bowl, sift together flour, salt, baking powder and sugar. In a small bowl, beat together egg and milk. Stir milk and egg into flour mixture. Mix in the butter and fold in the blueberries. Set aside for 1 hour.A 2. Heat a lightly oiled griddle or frying pan over medium high heat. Pour or scoop the batter onto the griddle, using approximately 1/4 cup for each pancake. Brown on both sides and serve hot.

        • We have to get two head shots to kill and that's quite difficult with thorns recoil.

Anyone that states that Thorn is the most powerful weapon hasn't touched Gjallarhorn. Concerning being one-shotted with Thorn, also not true...I took it into PvP to test this theory and it takes a minimum 2 shots to the critical/precision box; shooting someone once, and then moving in circles till they shot me down, didn't result in one PostMortem kill. Bottom Line: You may have noticed only one hit to your character, however, the other player had you dialed-in and smacked you down...this is not easy, it takes considerable skill and practice to dominate w/ Thorn in PvP; far more likely for the skilled to use an AR (ShadowpriceSuros), TLW or the Vex. Thorn is a fun weapon, probably also the hardest bounty to complete by miles compared to the others...it takes some people literal months to complete this bounty. The people that whip through the Thorn bounty are the exception, not the norm. Stop crying for a nerf - ask for a buff to other weapons instead unless you think it's okay for people to damage your toys without your permission, and then stating "well, it needed a nerf".

          • Don't play the game if its terrible then. Game will be 100x more enjoyable without players like you. Pvp isnt about how you want to play its how the other team is playing. If they are all using snipers. Don't use a shotgun. From words of the meerkat 'simples'

          • Why not cut to the chase? Just nerf all of the weapons. As a matter of fact, just remove the weapons. Weapons are overpowered anyway. Fisticuffs for the win.

            • You are upset because you died to thorn using a pulse rifle. That is your fault.

              • If you only lose to a thorn 5/10 times or 1/2 than how is it more over powered than any pulse rifle you are using.. Based off of that stat it seems pretty balanced.

              • Last Word is even more OP than Thorn sometimes. Thorn, IMO is a Last Word counter-method. I get twice the amount of points in PVP with Last Word than I do with Thorn.

              • I believe the thorn bounty is the most difficult of the exotic bounties at the moment, and I believe that you should be rewarded for all of that. Shut up, stop whining, use it or lose it

                • Bungie will do whatever they please. The thorn was buffed because every pvp junkie used it and said it was bad. Now you demand a need for it? Good luck.

                • Your first mistake is using pulse rifles. They are the worst weapon class and are extremely underpowered. Thorn is that good for a reason. They gave it a buff because it wasn't that good. Deal with it.
