Is Thorn worth the grind?

[Eddyッ]

Is it a good choice for PVE? and/ or PVP? How does it compare to a gun like ace of spades.

If someone has resilience under 60 then you can 2 headshots,1 body and it will kill them.

It is somewhat good if you can aim.

[Illusive Soul]

Spare ration best hand canon in the game.

Thorn is a lot of fun in pve.

Very good for PvE cause of the Devour perk and pvp its good cause poison damage for the most part makes people run away instead of tank the 1v1

thanks for the responses guys! But would you say its better than Ace of Spades? Cause i have the catalyst for that

The Catalyst for Ace of Spades has more damage when the perk is procked, however, Thorn, like I stated above and 2 headshot, 1 body someone under 60 Resilience and with its own perk procked you can 2 headshot someone.

It is entirely based on preference as if you want to play range, go for Ace.
If you want to play close and fast, go for Thorn.

I personally prefer the damage buff and reload of thorn's perks over ace's perks.

[Forrest Gimp]

^ true that.

It's a lot of fun. For me it's about even with Ace in pvp. Neither is really good in pve anymore IMO.

Hoping someone has less than 6 resist isn't a great pvp strategy and in the current meta it struggles but can still net you some post-death revenges.

Just a weird personal nit but I think it's way too fat.

What joke am I missing? Sure its not the best for pve but running around 1 shotting everything without needing to reload is fun plus it looks good.

it compares well and is worth the effort.

In my experience, Thorn is great for PVP, but I'd rather use an Ace of Spades for PVE.

Agree very nice in PVE and alot of fun to play imo ^^

150 rpm hand cannons out damage 140 and are more consistent overall, if you can land your shots a thorn will always win a duel against an ace, plus after the range nerf you are not gaining any benefit with ace of spades beside memento mori and the radar perk, but thorn is the best hand cannon right now.
