Editing Exotic Catalyst

'''Catalysts''' are special modifiers for [[Exotic]] weapons, introduced in the ''[[Warmind]]'' Expansion for ''[[Destiny 2]]''. They improve and upgrade Exotic weapons within the game by either improving stats, giving bonus perks, or raising the magazine size. 

==Overview==
Each weapon has its own Catalyst and has specific objectives to find them. Catalysts function exactly like Masterworks and generate [[Orbs of Light]] on multi kills. The drop rate for them is unknown, but they are a rare find. Once you find a Catalyst for a weapon, you will have to do specific objectives with the weapon, such as precision hits or simply kill enemies in order to unlock the upgrade.
