What the Thorn perks do

Mark of the Devourer

This is a Weapon of Sorrow. Shots fired overpenetrate unlimited targets. Direct hits with this weapon apply Corruption (DoT Poison), dealing 30 [0.4] damage every 0.5 seconds for 2 seconds. Multiple instances of Corruption can be stacked on the same target. Kills create a Remnant which tracks towards you when within a 15 meter radius. Remnants last for 8 seconds in the world before despawning.

Corkscrew Rifling

Balanced barrel. • Slightly increases range and stability • Slightly increases handling speed

Accurized Rounds

This weapon can fire longer distances. • Increases range

Soul Devourer

Collecting a Remnant grants 'Soul Devourer' for 7 seconds and refills 4 ammo. Collecting additional Remnants can overflow both the timer and magazine, extending the duration up to 11 seconds and the magazine up to 350% capacity (40 rounds). Soul Devourer increases poison damage by 200% [1750%?] while active.

Textured Grip

The friction on this weapon's grip is particularly strong. • Greatly increases handling speed • Slightly decreases stability
