I believe that catalyst got data mined with having a range buff and an explosion damage buff. If this is the case, I at least will be satisfied, since in PvE my problem is I think the explosions should be doing more damage against majors, and maybe some close to how Outbreak Perfected performs against bosses. For PvP, it would essentially become a staple weapon for me, since the extra range/accuracy (since those are intertwined) is really what the weapon needs to be a reliable weapon to use against supers, which the game needs more of in the crucible.
