Honestly, I'm average at both, and expected Thorn PvP bounty to be a P.i.t.A. Once I realized a few "truths" I managed to finish off that part of the bounty in 2-3 days of playing (don't get much time every day). Now, most of these are common sense, and bluntly, NOT what I usually play with (although I sometimes try, and find they DO make you a better player) - play Control. People (read as "targets") will be places you can predict. You will also have 4-5 people around to help cover your back. - play very cautiously (don't go charging in to die, its not in your best interest). - if you're all alone and the motion sensor erupts RUN! - your goal is to make 1 kill for every death, any after that is gravy. - use every VOID weapon at your disposal! I didn't have the Raid Void auto-rifle (which would have been nice), but I had the Comedian, and a rare Void Fusion Rifle. Ended up sticking with the Fusion Rifle more. Also had a rare Void Rocket Launcher. I prefer MachineGun now, but the Rocket Launcher is nice for control if you can time it so the other side is taking a control point. Good way to rack up a few kills. If you're running Titan or Warlock, also make sure to use the Void subclass! Grenade and Super kills with Void damage also count. - AGAIN: your goal is to get one kill before you die, everything else is gravy (and truthfully, after a while, you'll have runs of better which help). - run with the group. - if you are losing, let the respawn timer count-out and take a few deep breaths. - if you have 2-3 bad matches where you are losing ground, exit to orbit and re-enter matchmaking. The Strike was way harder (especially since you can grab a few friends) than the PvP part, and even then, the PvP part was more careful grinding than anything else. Good luck to all who are doing the bounty and yeah, its funny as heck that people are all flocking to do it since the update.
