I had never pvp'd before this past saturday, not even one round. It took me 10 games (2-3 hours) to get 500 points with a void fusion rifle. Fusion rifles are ridiculously powerful in pvp. It wasn't that bad. Btw, Thorn is the most fun I have had with a gun in this game. It looks incredibly cool, sounds cool, and shoots friggen daggers, lol.
