13 Must Have Catalysts in Destiny 2 

Are there any other exotic catalysts you think are must haves?

Bro threw a grenade in the thumbnail 💀

CLARIFICATION: You don’t need to own Witch Queen deluxe edition to get Osteo Striga, you just need to complete the campaign. How most pre-order exotic weapons work is the season the expansion comes out it is only available to the people who got the preorder deluxe edition, but the next season allows anyone with the expansion to get it. Hope this helps anyone who is confused. So don’t spend the extra money!

I remember having to do The Menagerie on legendary for the Izinagi catalyst. Good times

Clarification for Whisper of the Worm: White Nail now refunds 1 round (from “thin air”) to your reserves upon landing 3 consecutive precision hits. Previously, it used to refunds all 3 rounds directly to your magazine, having the potential to never run out of ammo.

Leviathan‘s Breath Cat is a huge game changer. I think most people underestimate this Bow. You can one shot champions with it.🔥

The huckleberry catalyst is amazing for ad cleaning and PVP, every kill fully reloads the clip

Outbreak Perfected doesn't suck without it's catalyst. In PvP I get a LOT of kills with it. Sure, the catalyst improves it, but it's still good

on Thunderlord for Titan use Actium War Rig, it reloads while you shooting, kinda like having a 350 round magazine.

GOATED video, I’ve just started playing Destiny 2 after a few years away and now I’ve got some things to grind for!

Some of this I've been working on so hopefully I'll get through them the thunderlord and outbreak for sure, just wish they're was another way to get bonus progess then rather jumpin gon GOA dungeon

good informative video! Thanks!!

2nd warning with the two tailed fox catalyst dont walk forward while firing otherwise you won't shoot the arc rocket

5:50 the malfiecance isnt the only gun to slap this hard with lucky pants, Crimson is a shredding machine when paired with lucky pants

I remember when I picked up my Outbreak Perfected and the next crucible I immediately picked up the catalyst at the Ned of my first match with it

As a newbie, I need this type of content.

Yo nice vid, thanks for explaining! 1 question: Do you need to have the weapons inside your inventory or even equipped while farming Strikes for the catalysts? I don't see any Cat's to drop yet.... Sadme

Not sure why this Marshix individual even popped in my feed but I will definitely leave a 👍🏻, nicely done.

Thunderlord, 'Doesn't need any help from any other exotic', divinity is clearly there helping buff those lightning strikes chances

Great video!!

To get the Galli Catalyst is by far the most work I have put in to get it and finish it.

Sunshot is a must have for ad clear with or without catalyst... best ad clear weapon imo

I’d still make the argument that the best pound for pound catty is Trinity Ghoul. It takes what is an objectively mid weapon and turns it into an objectively S Tier weapon. I really can’t think of one that manages to throw its weapon that far into greatness as it. Keep in mind, a lot of them a really really good.

The Last Word with offhand strike would be ridiculous but so fun as a catalyst. Just saying.

do you have to be using the weapon in the playlist to get the drop?

I used thunderlord with arc surge and ripped through this week’s gm

bro i've had the trinity cata for so long i forgot you actually had to aim it to get it's effect xD

I got thunderlord malfeasance and two tailed fox yesterday thanks to wish wall Also i wouldn't call them bad without the catalyst

Crimson really benefits from its catalyst. Nice, reliable gun. Not as good as Red Death was.

Osteo is available to all witch queen owners. Not just those with deluxe edition

Problem with the Witherhoard Catalyst Quest is you need Guardian Kills to complete it. And, if you hate PvP…..

Trinity ghoul plus catalyst is my most used exotic by a long shot

Thanks

Whisper on IO was a Nightmare xD

So where do i find Sunshot catalyst? Vanguard Ops or Nightfall?

Does anyone know if i need the respective DLC's to get the weapon's catalyst? I played on Playstation for Forsaken/Black Armory and dropped the game (clan died) but slowly got back into the game after migrating to PC. Since I transferred my characters over to PC, the gear that I have collected over on Playstation transferred over, so I have quite a few DLC exotics without having bought the expansions on PC yet (waiting for a sale). Been doing the vanguard playlists but nothing has dropped for me. I'm aware that the drop rate is pretty whack but I just wanna be sure if I do need the expansions for the catalysts.

They pulled some bs for the outbreak perfected. I got it when the mission was available and managed to get the catalyst which I unlocked and equipped while doing the puzzle for the ship yet rn while I have the catalyst I need to unlock it again.

I'll just say it. I would love to see catalysts for masterworked exotic armor. even if they are just effect extenders, subclass energy type switches or an additional mod-slot for armor-catalyst mods

Do you need to be using said weapon to get the catalyst or can I just like have it in my vault or inventory

Mid has become too common a phrase

When i got trinity ghoul, i got the catalyst drop in the same second from the same boss. I was pretty surprised.

in order to get the catalysts, do i have to use and equip the guns or just have it on my character?

Doesn't Vanguard activities also drop two tailed fox?

Ostriga striga can hold 30 rounds if you add some parts for it in the game

sorry to tell you that you can get the izanagi cat from playlist activity

Think you slick throwing a storm grenade in the thumbnail🤣

thunder lord “i didn’t need the help of any other exotic to make it so that i didn’t have to reload” *while shooting dub bubble*

aint whisper catalyst from whisper misson on legend ?

Thunderlord plus actinium rig

we got a problem now tho, how to add that catalyst to whisper now?

Genuinely feel like the rate of cat drops are completely messed up. For random drops, there should be a slight increase chance if you're using the desired exotic during playlists. It's also felt like it's more inclined to drop cats in playlists you don't normally play. I could go 4 or 5 days without a single drop on my preferred PVE strikes, but in one day of grinding crucible i obtained 4 cats in about 12 matches.

Striga is THE warlocks sub with necrotic grips lol

i Been killin Vex on Nessus for 14 days, 6 hours a day and i still cant get Sturm catalyst to drop, is it bugged??

You don’t even need witch queen to have ostio striga I got mine during the promo before light fall where beyond light Shadowkeep and witch queen were free to play

I dont have eny expanchens can I get the destiny guns and catilists from no expanchens

Centrifuse really needs its cat too

osteo striga, sleeper simulant, whisper of the worm, legend of acrius, outbreak perfected, whitherhoard, trinity ghoul, thunderlord, two tailed fox, cloudstrike, malfeasance, izanagi burden, gjallarhorn

You dont need the deluxe edition of witch queen for the OS catalyst. Just to claim the triumph for it

You don't need the witch queen deluxe edition to get osteo striga's catalyst, i own the legacy collection and have the cata equipped

Note: You just need to own the base The Witch Queen DLC and not deluxe for Osteo Striga.

Don’t need deluxe witch queen for osteo just need to finish campaign

damn he left Le Monarque out lol i think that bow goes in par with trinity

btw norm edition for osteo just beat the witch queen campaign

Trinity Ghoul Catalyst + Getaway Artist Arc Warlock 🥰🥰🥰

Furm believer of trinity ghoul having it's catalyst perk as an intrinsic feels bad that yoy have to get the catalyst just to make the exotic do what it should've done from jump catalydt should've been like trinity ghoul multi kills grant 15% energy to your arc abilities and spawn a lightning rod to throw down st an area to cause lightning strikes there or multi kills "charge" your arc abilities giving them extra dmg and duration

“ it’s just thunder lord “ Div bubble “ im i a joke to you “

Been waiting years for Lance

Also with gally it buffs legendary rockets

instead of farming for trinity goul cat, get a salvagers salvo with chain reaction.

for osteo, just owning witch queen, you will be able to get it

“Some exotics are really bad” Shows Gjallarhorn.

Anyone know the background beat?

Fun fact: witherhoard has the fastest auto loading perk in the game. It's only like a half second difference but a difference nonetheless

How is he using both witherhoard and dragons breath in the witherhoard section

A must not have Catalyst Quicksilver Storm

Every damn catalyst except for crimson and risk runner drop from playlist activities which is annoying because I can't even do those because I need stupid ps+

Why am I starting to miss the “hi I’m marchix and I make destiny 2 guides for solo players” thing

4:26 You dont need deluxe anymore! :3

"I didn't need help from any other exotics" as you're shooting a div bubble

I still can’t unlock the mission for cloudstrike It’s been how many years now?

Dont need any other exotic for thunderlord. (Proceeds to show thunderlord in use with div)

I LOVE YOU MARSH❤❤❤❤

"And I didn't need help from any other exotic, its just thunderlord!" Teammate using divinity: (●__●)

The hoops you have to jump through for the average player just isn't worth the effort to get some of these Cats. You have to jump through enough hoops just to get the weapon and then get your jumping shoes on again.

while the premisce of the video is fine, and you more or less do describe the title fine, you missed a few VERY important things about a decent number of these catalysts that make them good, as an example, the 'accelerated coils' perk added to the sleeper simulant catalyst is unique to that weapon, it's not the same as the regular version of the perk that also reduces the impact of the weapon to give that extra reduction in charge time, or, you didn't actually state that to buy the base version of 'legend of acrius' you will need to not only have the highest tier of general materials needed to buy a weapon from the exotic kiosk, but you will also need to have spoils of conquest from completing raid bosses, which is a massive barrier to entry for many new/returning players for that weapon. there's other nitpicks in how you presented the information provided and while as I stated it's not a clickbait video, you leave out a staggering amount of important information for each weapon and why the catalyst is worthwhile getting for many of them (as some are fairly self explanatory).

Lol it’s nightfalls, which is basically playlist activities

Acrius drop rate in nightfalls is brutal, it will just NOT drop for me. Multiple over and over nightfalls and nothing

“I didnt need help from any other exotics, its just thunder lord” literally shows someone using div💀

Rat king ! Turns into crimson with the catalyst. Don’t judge me 😂

Ngl. I have 35,000 malfeasance kills. It’s my first gun in Dostiny

0:49 Sunshot exists

Whos hear after the random nerfes to a few of these weapons

I swear the TTF, Malfeasance, and Cloudstrike catalysts don’t drop. I’ve played so many strikes and nothing.

Izzy destroys Tormentors

You forgot to mention that galahorn gives wolf pack rounds to other legendary rcokets when someone in your team is using galahorn.

Where can we find these catalysts again?? 😂

I dont need helf from other exotixs.... Your Not shooting at a div?

1. Unfortunately, Two Tailed fox was indirectly nerfed at the start of this season Last season Void Surge buffed all rocket, now Void Surge only buffs the void rocket For Two Tailed fox this means 2x solar surge and 1x void surge OR 2x void surge and 1x solar surge for maximum damage buff 2. And one more thing, since when does Legend have 4 shots in the magazine? I remember there were only 2 in the magazine 3. And I would add something to the list. Huckleberry, Arbalest, Revision Zero and Fourth Horseman

I hope they don’t nerf mal

Thunderlord 'i didnt need any other exotics to achieve this' well you did, someone was using div. Try getting all headshots on him without using div, youll be reloading straight away
