The new Catalysts Suck

None of them make a difference for any of the guns!

  • I have to say Hardlight's is the only failure for not fixing it's one problem.

    • They seem to be a bad trade off for lack of a mod slot. Not all of them but most of them.

    • Hardlight catalyst is just dumb. You could remove all stability from the gun and it'd be indistinguishable from having max stability because of the stupid screen shake put in there for the sake of "balance." If balance means the rarest drops in the game being unfun and bland, then I don't want balance.

      Most of the catalysts are boring, uninspired, and pointless. Much like the destiny franchise 90% of the time, so it’s fitting. [spoiler]Although for the record I think the worst catalyst would be the one for Jade Rabbit. Oh boy I got more stability on a slow firing semi-auto weapon... [/spoiler]

      • Sooo...I take it you have all 4 of the new catalysts and this information comes from the experience of using them?

          • Catalysts should add stats or perks to Exotics to help with their deficiencies. Instead, they most often add a nearly useless benefit or increase an already near maxed stat. It just shows that Bungie is still so worried that we will have too much fun in the game.

            • The Hardlight Catalyst should have given it something like Under Pressure. As the magazine gets lower, it reduces the screen shake, and increases the stability. That extra stability boost it gives you right now does absolutely nothing on console, and I don't know why any of those dipshit devs thought it was a good idea to to give us this Catalyst without play-testing it to make sure it actually works.

              • Go into the Whisper mission green room to fill catalysts. You'll do ratking in 30 minutes. Jump down all the way in the back of the room. You'll have +16 minutes & can get +700 kills there in that time.

                  • There have been worse. Mida, Vigilance, Huckleberry, Colony, Telesto, and Tractor to name a few. Their catalysts either did nothing or were just pointless. Mida: Faster reload on a weapon with reload equal to Drop Mag. Vigilance: Full Auto on a weapon with enough recoil that the 2 shot kill is very unlikely even with Harsh Truths. Huckleberry: 15 more shots refunded on a kill with a weapon that shoots faster and does more damage the longer it shoots. If only it's recoil was more manageable. Colony, Telesto, and Tractor: 1-3 more shots on weapons that kill in 1-2 shots and you only have a handful of shots im the 1 mode they do see use in.

                    • I ran 4 strikes, got Prospector and Hardlight. I'm suspecting Hardlight will still be garbage once I complete it. Grinding the catalyst just reminds me just how bad a job they did with the weapon. That screenshake.

                        • The prosecutor is a beast with its catalyst. The rat king is a beast on a skilled player for pvp with the fastest ttk if you hit all crits AND you get your health back when you reload to go invisible. Still working on the hardlight... but I am not a fan of that weapon because I suck with it.

                            • Prospector over doubles the current blast radius that’s pretty impressive to me.

                              Surfs catalyst is great, rat king is good. I mean, you have them all and have used the already? Or is this based off of one gun and you decided to say they all suck even though you've only done one?
