FINALLY.
After enduring weeks of collossal defeats inside the Crucible, and a Hellish
reprise of 'Savathun's Song' that nearly saw me crush my controller into
tiny black bits using my hands and white-hot frustration, I finally have Thorn,
an exotic hand cannon that deals damage over time and uses the souls of its victims
to return rounds to its chamber.
Reading the lore behind this fictional weapon actually made me question whether
I really want to use this weapon in gameplay. It honestly did. Here's the Reader's
Digest condensed version of its history: As a player on a specific question, you
recover a burned up hand cannon from a campfire pit, and enlist the help of
Banshee-44 to return it to service. That energetically neutral weapon is known as
Rose. From there, you're given two quests, which you discover leads you along
different paths: one ultimately leads to Lumina; the other — the one I
just completed — to Thorn.
The simple fact is, I wouldn't have this weapon now if it wasn't for the help
(and I mean, HELP) from my clan — most especially in 'The
Chasm of Screams.' I am beyond grateful for their assistance and patience!
