Ten Commandments for Acquiring Thorn (PvP section)

[b]A guide for those who don't PvP or don't think they can get 500 void kills points.[/b] 1) Equip all void weapons you can. If you don't have a primary, that's okay. Just be sure the other 2 are void. 2) If possible [b]only get void kills.[/b] If you have ammunition for Void weapons, but are using other weapons instead, those kills are essentially wasted and worthless to your cause. You're essentially giving away 5 points by kills not being void damage (verses losing 2 for dying). By all means keep yourself alive, but the risk/reward makes it worth risking sticking to your Void weapon if you can. 3) You don't have to have legendary or exotic void weapons, blue weapons work fine (outside of Iron Banner). That said, whatever level weapon you're using, fully level all its perks. Every advantage in The Crucible helps. It's amazing how many people roll unleveled weapons. 4) If you need to, camp, camp and camp some more. Rome wasn't built in a day and you're not going to get Thorn in one match. The important thing is to get void kills. If it means hiding, so be it. 5) Understand the scoring. +5 for void kills and -2 for deaths. Big picture this means that as long [b]as all your kills are void, a 0.40 k/d is break even for the match.[/b] Anything higher is positive points towards your goal. 6) You don't need to lead your team in kills. If you can average 10 kills and 10 deaths, that's 30 points a game and 16 games to complete. 7) Don't get discouraged by a bad game. Even if you go 10 - 20, you still just got 10 points towards your goal. This is also why it's so important to try to [b]only get void kills[/b]. 10 - 20 all Void is +10 points. 10 - 20 but only 4 kills were void, you just lost 20 points. 8) Don't get discouraged by the first few games. It may take a few games to start seeing progress, but if you play smart you'll be surprised how fast your score can rise. 15 - 4 will get you 57 points :) 9) Play Control. With zone objectives, it's much easier to predict where enemies will be throughout the match. Plus you can shadow teammates and glom kills (all is fair in love and war). Also with the new special ammo rules, control makes it a bit easier to get ammo without getting shot at if you stick in areas your team controls. 10) Have fun, it's a game.
