You can get the Thunderlord Catalyst in Destiny 2 by completing playlist activities. That means it’s a possible reward for Strike, Crucible, or Gambit matches. Getting the catalyst gives a beneficial perk to the easy-to-get exotic machine gun, which makes it even better at PvE combat.
How do you get the Thunderlord Catalyst in Destiny 2?
Finding the Thunderlord Catalyst is really just a toss of the dice. There’s a chance it can drop as a reward for Strike, Crucible, or Gambit matches at any point after you acquire the weapon. Unfortunately, there aren’t any items that increase the chances for gear to drop in those modes anymore, so there’s no way to speed up the process. You just have to keep grinding until you get it.
What perks does the Thunderlord Catalyst add?
The catalyst adds one very useful perk to Thunderlord. Return Stroke partially reloads the weapon from reserves every time Reign Havoc is activated. With the catalyst installed, it becomes one of the best PvE power weapons as of Destiny 2 Season 18.
How do you level up the Thunderlord Catalyst?
Fortunately, leveling up the catalyst is straightforward. Just go kill 500 of any enemy. Since the gun is absolutely devastating to low-rank foes, it shouldn’t take much time at all to hit that number.
