Red death and hopscotch weren't nerf then. And pulse rifles were pretty neat. Not asking you to compare to year 1. Compare to other weapons in year 2

  • Okay, I respect that. Year 1 Thorn stands on its own, but at the time nothing compared to it. Hopscotch didn't drop until HoW and RD was only used by some really skilled players, pulse rifles during most of the HC dominance were laughable. Currently Thorn can be bested by a number of primary options. First Curse, TLW, MIDA, a pulse in the Nirwens Mercy archetype with the right perks. Any high impact/high range scout from the Last Extremity archetype. Any high RoF/high stability scout like NL Shadow, etc. All of these primaries are viable counters to a 3 body shot weapon. Thorn is annoying and a pain in the ass, but a weapon that forces you to play different isn't necessarily OP, its more a unique challenge. All of this is my personal subjective opinion. I just don't see it as an OP weapon. There are far more options to counter it now then in Y1.
