I was grandfathered into the Thorn bounty at the end of y1 and never used Thorn at all, it just sat in my vault until now. I took it out and upgraded the nodes and took it into a crucible map. It felt particularly easy to get kills, I came in 2nd to a match that had already started. Also the era of Exotic Hand Cannons is back: Out of 12 people in the rift match: 3 had Thorns (including myself and top player on winning team) 2 had The Last Word The leader on the losing team had The First Curse Also for the record one of the people who did not have a hand cannon, had a green [armory]Shingen-C[/armory] auto-rifle. Respect.
