Thorn is an Exotic hand cannon and one of the Weapons of Sorrow. It is most likely named after the thorn-like spikes on it. The weapon is sleek, dark black, with many spikes or "thorns" adorning the sides, facing the front of the weapon. The projectiles shot from it also resemble giant daggers or "thorns". It was acquired via the Exotic bounty, A Light in the Dark. Thorn also appears in Rise of Iron and can be acquired through a Quest.

Overview

Thorn was once called Rose, and it belonged to the Guardian Dredgen Yor. Once a noble hero, Yor eventually fell to Darkness after looking to the Hive to try and look for more ways to defeat the Darkness. He was soon consumed by the Darkness, and he and his Hand Cannon Rose began watonly murdering innocents and consuming their Light, .[1] Ever since, it has been hungry for the Light of other Guardians. Whether before or after it was built, Thorn became bound to Xyor, the Unwed; killing her removes the link and enables Guardians to safely use Thorn without risk of corruption.[2]

Gameplay

Thorn, like every exotic in Destiny, has a "signature perk". Thorn's is called "Mark of the Devourer", which allows rounds fired from the weapon to pierce the target and cause lingering damage over time, [3] which, in PvP, could potentially prevent a fleeing Guardian's shield from regenerating quickly enough for a kill-shot to be delivered. This perk has since been nerfed from its Year 1 itineration.

Trivia

  • The Thorn has been labeled as the "yin" of the Destiny universe (as opposed to the Last Word, which is the "yang").[4]
  • Thorn was originally described as being one of the loot in Charlemagne's Vault, a chamber in the Dust Palace that does not appear in the final version of the game.
