Thorn. Just... Thorn. (Destiny)

I've done this three times.

The first time (and most painful, as I was new to PvP) I used a blue void shotgun. I used this as if it were my primary. It took a really long time. I found that playing the smaller, confined maps was best, and at the end I realized I was better off leaving the more open maps and queueing up again.

The second and third time I had a void plug.one and void machine gun. If I was "on" with the plug.one it would be a 1 shot kill, usually at mid-range (out of shotty/wawrlock melee range at any rate). This helped tremendously. Any kills with the MG were just a bonus.

I also learned that if my team sucked I should change my strategy -- be much more conservative and strategic rather than offensive and risky. Always try to stick by someone, it splits fire when you meet an enemy, is a bigger distraction, changes enemy tactics, and overall is just better for staying alive. Which is very important with this one.

I did try to use atheon's epilogue some, but I'd die as often (or more) as I would get a kill, so I ditched that pretty quickly.

His problem seems to be that he doesn't have any void weapons.

The solution is either to stop dying so much, or to acquire more void weapons so more of your kills count towards the bounty. There's a few good choices that have fixed stats, like Word of Crota, Atheon's Epilogue, or Corrective Measure.

I think you may have to play more Vault of Glass, and Crota's End. You could also level up with a faction and hope for a good Void fusion rifle.

It sucks that you have to grind just to do a grindy bounty though. That's some shit right there.
