I've wanted to do the Thorn bounty and obtain the gun for a really long time now but the pvp part has always been a burden for me. I'm god awful in Crucible, have never really played it before, but last night I finally got the bounty for my warlock and just decided to give it a go. I equipped Voidfang Vestments and used axion bolt grenades and made my nova bomb to split in three and made all my ability kills to make things explode. Weapon-wise I used Word of Crota in primary slot, a random void fusion/Swordbreaker/Praedyth's Revenge in special and Truth/Corrective Measure in heavy depending on the map. Went there by myself and it took me just a little over 2 hours, about 10 matches in control. Just played it safe, hanged back but didn't camp, eyes always on the radar. After a slow start got to the first 100 points and thought maybe I can finally do this and finished it in one sitting. To top it all, it was fun as hell believe it or not. Most of my kills came from Truth, grenades and nova bombs. As my last kill I managed to clear a flag with all the 6 players of opposing team with my super and seeing the bounty phase complete after that made my night. Another happy accident was throwing an axion bolt to a flag and killing one of every class on it and getting the Triple Play -trophy. Just try it out, it might take a while to get used to things. Let your team mates be in front lines and check your surroundings. I honestly thought I could never get this done on my own. And if I could pull it off, so can anyone. Later my friend joined for the Xyor part and now I finally have the awesome Thorn in my hands. Hope this helps. Go for it and have fun, it's still a video game, and a pretty damn good one too for sure!
