Thorn
Everyone’s favorite, and most hated, Crucible Hand Cannon is back. The Thorn has a Year Three version, but unfortunately, it looks like getting the quest to trigger is completely random. You’ll have to complete bounties, and the quest will randomly trigger when you turn in your completed ones. Once you do get the Exotic bounty, you’ll have to complete the new Wretched Eye Strike. The Strike difficulty does not matter. Afterwards, kill a bunch of enemies to satiate the weapon’s appetite. Ew.
Once you’ve done this, it’s time to head into the Crucible. Here, you’ll have to use Void damage to defeat the opposing Guardians. Do note that private matches will not help to progress this quest. Thankfully, you won’t get any penalties for losses or deaths like in the original Thorn bounty, so just keep at it until you finish the quest step. Once that’s completed, consume five Motes of Light to cleanse yourself and the weapon. You’ll then have to complete the Abomination Heist Strike, and open the Strike Hoard with a Skeleton Key at the end.
