What do you need the weapon parts for? What weapon are you trying to roll? or upgrade? I recently just got my Dreamwaker the way I want it (clown cartridge, Javelin, Grenades and Horseshoes)

I won't need to roll any weapon for a while until I get the Queen sniper (rolling for Hidden Hand , Unflinching, Snapshot)

I need weapon parts for Red Death, Found Verdict, a couple other guns I need to level. I want a perfect roll on felwinters, party crasher +1, Matador 64, Judgement Vi, etc.. I like to have options..

I think alot of it is preference... hawkmoon is a beast... but if we look at the numbers... thorn is much more successful and clearly the strongest pvp weapon. This spreadsheet is from someone on reddit, who compiled the weapons used in 5000 trials of osiris games by the winning players to get kills, speaks for itself;

these numbers dont speak for shyt....I mean, you gotta take in consideration that there are a couple consoles (ms) that cant get the hawkmoon...also, it's a lot harder to get the hawkmoon than it is the thorn since you cant do a bounty for it and just gotta get lucky it drops for you...so how do these numbers say the thorn is the strongest pvp weapon?...they don't...

even with that said, am I surprised more people use the thorn?...no, cause like I stated it's more easily available than the hawkmoon...also, it's an easy gun to use...by that I mean cause of the damage over time effect, cats don't have to be good to get kills with it...seriously, you dont even really have to aim with it....all you gotta do is 'spray and pray' and let the effect do the rest of the work...that's why there is a high use of it just like autos used to be...people think easy to use equates to being the strongest/most powerful, when that's not the case...there are plenty of guns that are better than the thorn (other hand cannons, scout rifles, pulse rifles, snipers, and shotties), but they take more effort to use...

alright dude, but if you watch some of the streams of the top players... they all pretty much agree unanimously that thorn is the strongest weapon in the game.... i get the argument for last word or hawkmoon... but to say there are plenty of handcannons and scout rifles?? that are better than thorn? i think your going way overboard...

here's an article from planet destiny, who most cats respect... it pretty much outlines why thorn is the strongest/most op weapon in destiny's current pvp

you still not factoring in hawkmoon being ps exclusive and how they can affect judging....also, when I said plenty, I was talking about guns period, not that there are plenty of each type....me listing the different types was to show there are other gun types I think are better than the thorn...anyway, I know a lot of cats like to use the thorn, but that doesn't make it the most powerful nor op....in most cases it's just people being sheep and flocking to it after someone they respected said it was the go to weapon...same shyt happened with the hawkmoon remember?...once that cat dido (something like that) said it was the go to go, a lot started screaming that even though they hadn't actually used the gun....but whatever, in the end, it does boil down to preference...people can use what they want....

word.. i agree with that, in the end it comes down to preference and the skill of the player... a good player with a legendary pulse rifle can destroy someone using the thorn.. if they are skilled with it.

I did VoG wit some randoms last week and this one dude wanted this gun soooooooo bad. I didn't even know the gun existed. Soon as we killed Atheon I got it :russ:

DUde was hurt. That was my first VoG run and it was like his 12th. Personally I don't see whats so special about it besides the solar damage.
