Armor Piercing Thorn

Edit: Read the description in game and saw it penetrates targets. My bad for skimming through. So I found that the Thorn exotic hand cannon has armor piercing. This is with the poison upgrade. I had to do it again just to make sure and it did work. Only downside is that you have to aim to make the shots count.

    • It does Pierce but only on targets that can be affected by the poison. Shanks and servitors are immune to the poison so are also immune to the armor piercing. I've landed a triple headshot on vandals and dregs once. Feels glorious.

      • yes it is. thorn is actually a very nice weapon with great utilities. AP works in both PvE or PvP. However the DoT mechanics changes the approach in PvP. potentially 2 head shots to kill. for some reason i prefer the rang upgrade to the stability upgrade. i land more headshots that way. the only drawback is the ammo count which i heard it's getting buff soon i like it
