One of the most unique-looking and powerful Hand Cannons in Destiny 2<\/a> 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. <\/p>\n

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. <\/p>\n

How To Acquire The Thorn Catalyst In Destiny 2<\/h2>\n

You can get the Thron catalyst by playing the game’s ritual activities<\/strong>, 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. <\/p>\n

Is The Thorn Catalyst Worth It?<\/h2>\n

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. <\/p>\n

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. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
