Exotic Hand Cannon
Thorn
"To rend one's enemies is to see them not as equals, but objects—hollow of spirit and meaning." —13th Understanding, 7th Book of Sorrow
Thorn is an Exotic Hand Cannon in Destiny 2 that deals Kinetic damage from the Kinetic slot and uses primary ammo. What makes it special is its intrinsic perk, Mark of the Devourer. It comes with a fixed set of perks, including Soul Devourer. You can get it from: Exotic Archive at the Tower.
How to get Thorn
Thorn’s old quest, Independent Study from Season of the Drifter, has been removed. Since Beyond Light, the hand cannon is bought at the Monument to Lost Lights in the Tower for an Exotic Cipher and Glimmer.
Catalyst
Thorn finally got a catalyst in Season of the Wish. Once you own the gun, it drops at random from Crucible, Gambit and Vanguard activities. It adds Range, Stability and Airborne Effectiveness, plus the Refined Soul perk.
Perks
Rounds pierce targets and inflict corruption. Final blows with this weapon leave behind Remnants.
This version has a fixed roll: the perks above are always the same.
Exotic catalyst
Grants bonus range and stability. Dealing a final blow or absorbing a Remnant grants additional increased weapon range, as well as increased mobility and handling for a short time.
Base stats
Base values from the game files, before barrels, magazines, mods and masterwork.
