How do you counter thorn?
Question to everyone. Serious one too how do you counter thorn. Now we all know that this gun gets talked about all the time and ofcourse we are all sick of it but there comes a time where you have to take a step back and look at what this gun does. Yes I use it but now I am trying not because there are alot more guns out there. I am just curious to how people deal with it.

Red death works for me

Shoot first simple

1 ReplySit down it stops the poison. Seriously try it and see. A few clan mates filled me in on this week.

I like using 365 Bad Juju, Red Death and Vex Mythoclast against Thorners.

Shoot them in the face with my VoC

Quick headshots if u get poisoned in the red run and hide... I rarely get killed by dot using this method
-
The Last Word can beat it almost every time except for longer ranges where you will almost indefinitely get rekt by the one handed sniper.

Shoot the user

Just try not to panic when you get DOT. Chances are it'll kill you anyway. Might as well trade the kill and punish them for it.
-
Rush behind them with shoulder charge. Lol
-
I don't go out in the open. I pick and choose my fights. If I'm not certain I'll win the gunfight, I'll do a strategic withdraw and live to fight another time.

Git guuud

I like to use the subtle tactic "try to avoid being hit while you shoot them in the head"!
-
Red dead but you got to good at it
-
Tracking rocket launcher. Other than that, either surprise them or just die...
-
Red death. Seriously how is this not more widely known? Kills start your health recharge, which nullifies the DoT from thorn. It can kill in 2 bursts too if you are decent at aiming.

1 ReplyEither use a thorn. Run away and hope. Shoot back. Or die

Run away and jump
-
You don't

1 ReplyPeople say this shit isn't OP, if a lot of people think that they have to counter a weapon rather than someone's playing style, then something is wrong

The Last Word
-
You need to be close. Either rush them through cover or let them rush you and demolish them with a better up close weapon like the vex or the last word. Or take the long route and snipe them.

I was in a game where 9 out of 12 are using thorn.. It's kind of ridiculous now
