I may be late but unless it's some bizarre thing unique only the thorn bounty, it seems exotic bounties are now rewarding the upgraded TDB versions of the exotics. Do not be a chump like me and accidentally delete a bad juju before realizing this. Hold on to those bounties.

Edited by Skarpkant: 12/10/2014 10:13:03 AMI verify this. I left 2 of my exotic bounties to the brink of getting the weapon and I got the upgraded versions after patch. Edit: Their base dmg w/o any upgrades are even better then fully upgraded exotics. For example: Bad juju starts with 302 base dmg.
