The Proto-Thorn is a weapon created by Enkaar, the Anointed as the prototype to a new line of Lighteater weapons the Hive could use to close off Guardians to the Light. After the the destruction of its manufacturer by the The Guardian in a showdown in the depths of the Jetsam of Saturn, the weapon would be claimed by the Guardian and taken back to the Drifter for safe keeping.
Overview
The Proto-Thorn was among the most dangerous weapons ever faced by the Guardians as it could drain the Light from any Lightbearer it shot, permanently killing them in one bullet. Unlike other Soulfire Rifles, the Proto-Thorn did not need to charge and could be fired immediately, however it had a magazine unlike its mass produced counterparts and would've needed to be reloaded.
Trivia
- Despite the Proto-Thorn being a Void weapon, the tracer it fired was blue.
