One of the most unique-looking and powerful Hand Cannons in Destiny 2 has finally gotten a catalyst in Season of the Wish. First introduced in Season of the Drifted, Thorn became a fan-favorite weapon for The Crucible, thanks to its poison-inflicting DOT perk. 

Years later, Bungie has added a Thorn catalyst that makes an already powerful weapon more deadly. In this guide, we explain how to get the Thorn catalyst in Destiny 2. 

How To Acquire The Thorn Catalyst In Destiny 2

You can get the Thron catalyst by playing the game's ritual activities, such as Strikes, Crucible, and Gambit playlists. The Thorne catalyst is a random drop, so it may take a few runs till you get your hands on it. 

Is The Thorn Catalyst Worth It?

Yes, it is. Thron catalyst increases the weapon's range and stability. Furthermore, dealing final blows and absorbing Remnants gives you bonus weapon range, increased mobility, and handling for a short time. This makes Thorne an absolute beast on the battlefield and gives you an unprecedented advantage in Crucible matches. 

In other news, if you have been hoping to give your Thorn a fresh look, now you can. Bungie has added a new Thorn weapon ornament named Essentialism, which you can purchase for 700 Silver from the in-game store.
