Previously, the Exotic Catalyst could be obtained as a random drop from completing encounters in the Prestige version of the Leviathan raid. Now it is acquired from Nightfall completions as a rare drop. After 500 kills with the weapon, the catalyst unlocks the following perks and traits:
- Deeper Pockets: Increased ammo reserves.
- +10 Inventory Size
- +4 Magazine Size
- +40 Reload Speed
- Trench Barrel: After a successful melee hit, this weapon gains increased damage, handling, and reload speed for a short duration—or until three shots are fired.
LoreEdit
"IN THE CABAL LEGEND, A HERO SEEKS TO POSSESS THE SUN. HE SUCCEEDS. THEN, HE BECOMES EMPEROR. THE CABAL… ARE NOT A SUBTLE PEOPLE." —TYRA KARN
That really is the entire myth. A Cabal named Acrius desires the sun, and he takes it and becomes the first Emperor of the Cabal. Other scholars have already noted the parallels and differences with our own ancient Earth myth of Icarus, which famously has a far more humbling ending. I am more interested in how Cabal leaders throughout history have deployed this legend as a rhetorical and political justification for conquest. Among the most relevant such figures is Dominus Ghaul himself, who appears to have a personal affinity for the Acrius myth. I must also note here that, while linguistic analysis of the Cabal language and its many dialects is incomplete, they do not appear to have a word for the concept of "hubris." —Research notes of Tyra Karn
TriviaEdit
- This is the first of four Exotic weapons based after real Cabal weaponry, that being a Cabal Slug Shotgun. The others being the Skyburner's Oath (Slug Rifle), Heir Apparent (Heavy Slug Thrower), and the Grand Overture (Cabal Slug Launcher).
