exotic thorn hand cannon 3rd challenge is stupid

The third challenge to unlock the thorn hand cannon is seriously stupid and ridiculous to do. Especially for the part where you have to use void damage weapons and lose 2 points for every death. Not all of us are that good at pvp to accomplish that. Bungie really screwed up on that. Currently I'm on the second challenge, but after reading further on what needs to be done I just it was ridiculous.

    it's not that bad friend just grab a void shotty/void fusion rifle and a void rocket launcher/lmg and play capture so your opponents have an objective besides killing you. might take you a day or two if you do it casually, less if you really focus on it. unfortunately the weapon (thorn) sucks pretty bad. reload time is nearly 4 seconds and only holds 6 shots, plus it's little bleed effect doesn't reapply with every shot, just the first one, even painted big chief is better and it's a friggin blue.

  • Exotic bounties are suppose to be hard. You earn an EXOTIC weapon.

  • Just checking, but this is the pvp mission to get 500 points of void damage yes? I think Hunters are the only players having a serious problem with this at the moment. Void damage from melee and grenades also counts toward this challenge. If your kda is even 0.5 you can grind this out over time. Equip a void fusion rifle or shotgun and you'll be rolling in the points in a few hours even if you are a mediocre player.

    • You're right. Not everyone is good enough to earn every exotic bounty. That would be the point.

      • Stupid, definitely not. But I will admit it is a little hard. Of the 2 exotic bounties I completed and the other 2 I am currently doing, it wasn't the hardest or even stupid. The bounty's intent is to make you overcome a challenging obstacle. I definitely cherish my thorn more than my other exotics and legendaries due to the challenge, but that's my opinion. Wishing you luck with it and hope it doesn't drive you over the edge.

        • Ok I've seen countless number of these complaints all around the forum and frankly it's gotten a little out of hand. I have the Thorn hand cannon and true it may not be worth while the challenge for most (till the buff) but do realize it's an EXOTIC. So before I even get to my first point I'd like to consider myself pretty good at both PVE and PVP. I'm not amazing but I know how to get the job done. so for all those that comment saying it's all skill... It's not. It's just strategic gameplay for the most part. First off, just to clarify, from personal experience - yes the PVP took some time. Especially because I was being impatient and running to my death every spawn. Quickly figured out what NOT to do and it worked wonders. I recommend taking that other commenters advice - control with void shotty and heavy playing defense. Less deaths plus more kills = a happy you. I tackled this bounty as a new lvl 25. Got to the xyor part- tried it once and was like... Not yet. Came back at 26 and did it by myself. It was absolutely difficult but thank god for fireborn on my warlock- otherwise would have been impossible. but I'm gunna tell you a secret... I didn't do this bounty for the gun - although now I love it. I did it because of the story behind the gun. Because when people see me using the gun they know," shit he took down xyor" they know what I went through. Just like bungie had intended. If you want the gun you'll make it work, if not you won't. keep the end goal in mind and it works wonders. So a lot of people complain because they can't stand PVP or they aren't good or they just prefer PVE. you don't like the grind of getting those 500 void damage points. but let me put the shoe on the other foot. Let's say you hate PVE and you live for the PVP gameplay. The bad juju bounty would be a nightmare for you. 25 strike completions? Talk about a grind - regardless of level difficulty that would take forever to finish. Sure I've prolly done more than that by now but not because of an exotic bounty... Just for pure fun with friends. If you play defensively you will finish the thorn crucible portion before anyone would finish 25 strike missions... And if not - then find some friends to help you out with it. That being said - I'd consider this bounty fair as there are other bounties that cater to the other type of gamer.

            • I could go on for ages about this, long story short, don't suck at PvP and if you do you don't deserve one of the best weapons in the game.

                • Agreed I don't like pvp cuz I suck at it. When it gets to that part of the bounty a pop-up should come up asking if you wanna do a pvp or pve instead of just pvp. I'm sure they could come up with something challenging for pve.

                • I was just about to post the exact same thing. The description makes it sound like after killing 500 hive the weapon activates. I get its an Exotic so it shouldn't he easy, but then don't make it as rare as getting an exotic engram. It's a double-whammy. After I saw what needs to be done, the bounty is getting deleted. I play for fun not for that kind of aggravation. Hell, you can get strange coins easier and just BUY the damn thing.

                • So many people hate the PvP part of these bounties. I'm with you. I was furious when I had to do it. It was very rewarding when I got it though. Doesn't mean I agree with the bounties tho. Also got invective which is a pain in the balls as well. It just six for PVErs who may never get these guns, especially when they are more likely to be the ones who want to collect all the exotics.

                  • U lose 1 for a death and gain 3 for a kill be patient. I recommend the swarm lmg from Vanguard. And a void fusion or shot gun for special. Play control camp heavy ammo spawns.

                    • It really isn't that bad. The only issue I had was finding a gun with void damage, since I haven't had luck getting many.

                    • I think bungie wanted to award players who are able to step outside their comfort zone by doing a PvP challenge. Me being one of those people. I still don't think it was that hard. It took me exactly 8 games of control to complete the thorn bounty. You can have less than a 1:1 kill/death ratio and still progress in the challenge.

                    • Took this bounty and promptly dropped it when I saw the PVP requirements - I don't PVP at all. Why there wasn't PVP or PVE specific exotic bounties only Bungle can explain........

                      • It's supposed to be a challenge, not a free weapon for everyone. The 25 kill spread is a lot easier than it seems. Just stay positive and it will eventually tick up. If you can't stay positive then it isn't for you. Like not everyone will be good enough to complete the Nightfall strike or the Raid. Challenges that have rewards for skilled play. This is a good thing.
