As a very satisfied Thorn user, the only portions of the bounty that held me up were PvP and Xyor. Xyor is easy now:there's a dedicated thread for finding Xyor groups. The PvP is still hairy, but I can share these (basic) tips: -play control ONLY. Predictable map flow is everything. -bring a void damage secondary. I prefer fusion rifles for reliable range of engagement, but a shotty will get you there just fine. -Bail on every vehicle-heavy map. Damage and death are too unpredictable and combat is skewed away from weapon damage (you need VOID kills, not just kills).
