Thorn Counter weapons?
What weapon do you use to counter the thorn?
Let's end the thorn reign, tell us what/how you have successfully countered the thorn...
I strongly believe there is nothing this forum and its guardians can not overcome..
Let's prove it!
[spoiler]I use the Mida, and juke technique, you still have to pick you battles, but its very effective[/spoiler]
Edit: So far the red death is winning, but there are a lot of good suggestions, for anyone struggling with thorn users..
Are there any thorn users out there, willing to admit what weapons are causing you strife...(The spirit of battle still exists, Ty to all thorn users that replied)
Edit: The theme with most of the weapons so far is high rate of fire, high impact...or red death...
I really hope something on this post helps you come up with tactics to deffend yourself against the thorn, it is possible!
Thanks for all who replied, but sadly I need to get some rest...
See you on the battle field guardians!!!
Edit: 400 replies...wow thanks!!
I think we all can agree that the "send it" needs to be removed...you just should not be able to snipe from across the map with it...
The thorn is somewhat challenging to get, I don't want to see it nerfed to oblivion...
But it is becoming a crutch for some guardians, and headache for others...
This post is quickly proving that it is possible to counter the Thorn (as is), as with anything you have to use your head...
Omg this is off point but I just got "The Birth of History" ship from IB, I've been grinding for this more than anyone has for the ghorn...
I feel like if you try to help others, you will always be rewarded in life!
THANKS!!!

Three Little Words

If I see too many thorns I whip out my thorn.

4 RepliesMIDA. Staggering rounds make it really hard for them to hit headshots, and the extra speed perk gives you some mad strafe action.

Riot Shield

Take cover and don't pop your head up until full health. Grenade and a couple burst from a pulse do the trick for me. If I see that half the opposing team has Thorn I'll take mine out to balance things.
-
MIDA or anything with Explosive Rounds or High Caliber. That screen flinch baby!
-
I usually do pretty good with an ascended The Devil You Know.
-
TLW, can consistently out Thorn, apparently it's all the other guns I'm having problems with
-
TLW, Red Death, Hawkmoon
-
TlW all day long. Love using the map and making them chase!
-
Red Death Last Word Bad Juju MIDA Multi-tool Hawkmoon There are plenty of others as well. As long as you are competent enough, nearly any weapon can counter it.

Thorn counters thorn

The strangers rifle

MIDA and Vex. That's all I really use either way. I've tried TLW but couldn't get the hang of it. In general, I suck at PvP.

Heavy weapons lmao but actually i have used these agaisnt them: -hawkmoon -pocket infinity -lots of moving around (that kinda helps) -snipers -
Red Death. Hawkmoon. Mythoclast. The Last Word. Three Little Words. Mida Multitool.

3 RepliesHow I counter thorn with any setup. The moment I see green on me, I find cover. Most thorn users from my experience are not good enough to get 2 head shots anyways. And if they are camping sniper lanes over and over, flank and destroy up close. Having a grenade ready helps.

Snipe city bitch.

Red death

Jewel of Osiris, Ill Will, messenger, scholar, any sniper, any shotgun, strafes, oh and thorn 9/10 times I come across people who can't aim for the head and need the 3-4 shot to body to kill which ill Will has 2 shot kill and with the rolls I have 1 shot messenger is a beast I hate red death because I'm not used to it so I can't say red death but thorn is a very easy gun to avoid dying from
