Is there?! Now I'm interested!

Pretty sure I saw it on one of the Legendary weapons available in the tower.

It seems like a pretty unfair advantage if you ask me…!

Nah. Or yes, but many guns have advantages. Some even more interesting. Someone showed me a high end sniper that would activate active camo when you stayed zoomed in with it! Which would you rather have, short range situational awareness at all times, or greater ability to camp with no situational awareness at all? Destiny isn't balanced the same as Halo on a gun for gun, ability for ability level, but in the end with all things considered it seems to come out balanced.

For instance, I loved my Hand Cannon that reloaded quickly when you used up its magazine. Maybe not the best weapon perk in the world but it FELT right. Similarly I loved my shotgun that shortened grenade cooldown on kills since if I had my shotgun out I probably needed grenades too.

I can't wait to see what kind of wacky abilities something like Thorn has!
