History of Mark of the Devourer

Mark of the Devourer is the intrinsic Exotic perk on Thorn. Its rounds pierce targets and inflict damage over time; final blows with Thorn leave behind Remnant pickups.

Mechanics

• Damage over time: the target takes a tick every 0.55 s for 1.65 s, starting 0.27 s after the hit. Targets flash white when damaged.
• Remnants: a final blow spawns a Remnant at the target's location for 7.5 s. Within 15 m the Remnant homes in on the player.
• Soul Devourer: collecting a Remnant grants Soul Devourer for 6 s, and the duration can stack up to 10 s. Each collected Remnant refills 4 rounds into the magazine and strengthens the perk.
• The perk applies a -20 magazine modifier.

History

• The Destiny 1 version was nerfed after its first year.
• Thorn was introduced in Season 6.
• Thorn's catalyst, Thorn Catalyst, adds bonus range and stability once completed.
