History

Thorn was buffed in Update 1.1 on December 1, 2014. Updates for Thorn included the following:

  • Projectiles now briefly highlight targets on impact
  • Mark of the Devourer DoT (damage-over-time) upgrade increased against PvE enemy targets
  • Reload Speed increased
  • Magazine Size increased (from 6 to 9)
  • Ammo inventory size increased
  • Stability and Weapon Handling increased

After the release of The Dark Below, Attack of the weapon was increased from 274-300 to 302-331. Players can upgrade old versions of the weapon into the new one by visiting Xur and paying 1 Exotic Shard and some Glimmer.
