If you want a powerful, easy-to-use gun to bring into Destiny 2's PvP arena, the Crucible, it's hard to go wrong with Thorn. The hand cannon is great because it hits hard and poisons opponents, dealing damage over time. It's even better this season, thanks to a new Exotic catalyst you can earn for the gun that boosts its stats and capabilities. However, you'll have to find the catalyst in order to unlock it and make the most of Thorn.

Here's everything you need to know about Thorn's Exotic catalyst, how to get it, and what benefits it rewards once you do.

How to get the Thorn Exotic catalyst

Like many other Exotic catalysts, Thorn's catalyst isn't one you can earn through a quest or mission--instead, it comes as a random drop from playing the game. You can earn it from Ritual activities: Strikes, Gambit matches, or Crucible matches.
