In all honesty... Please read this all the way through!!! I seriously think it's more of a pain to do it the way you're doing it. I'd say grind IB while it's still going on and dropping mad weapons. Every day this week it's dropped me one or more Matador 64's or Felwinter's. As soon as you get one just laugh to yourself and realize you just completed the hardest step in the Thorn bounty. Here's the steps I used: -grind IB to get a Matador/Felwinter's (don't worry about your K/D or stupid bounty at all just yet, weapons drop for everyone randomly regardless of how good you did in the match) -reforge that shotty till you get Void + shot package + whatever else you like -jump back in IB or whatever you like and start learning that gun as you go. Stay to tight hallways, use your radar, ambush guardians, wait around a corner if he's chasing you,... -know where your ammo spawns are and grab them if they're ready (you'll spawn back with all those rounds) -use void abilities and grenades You have no idea of the power of that gun with shot package. You may get hate mail from opponents...lol. I am not trying to BS you. I had the bounty for 2mos and quit when I was up to 40pts and worried about losing them all. A good game a week ago was above 0.5kd for me. A good game today is above 2.5kd. It goes quick [b]AND[/b] makes you a better player as you go along. Cheat through it quick and you'll just be a bad player with Thorn. I'm trying to level mine and I assure you the thing does not just hand out kills. The grind through the bounty is 90% of the fun when you get to the point that each match you're adding 50-70pts to it! I ended up doing it in 12 matches the other day. Good luck!
