(Hypothetical)
Personally I love Bastion but not for PvP, where admittedly it does shine, but for PvE. It’s amazing in those lower tier activities and core activities such as strikes, the ascendant challenge and altar of sorrow. So with Bastion’s ornament is out this week and it got me thinking on what the catalyst could look like.
Beyond stat bonuses [quote][/quote]what could the catalyst do to change the perk? I was thinking:
• increased over penetration
• elemental explosion when breaking shields
• an altered osmosis perk where breaking a shield would allow Bastion to adopt the element
• another slug (so 4 slugs)
But as for stat bonuses perhaps a simple reload bump?
That’s all I could thinking of for now but what do the rest of you Guardians think? Any possible catalyst ideas?

Remove the spread firing so all 3 could possibly land as crit hits?

1 ReplyPersonally, I think the Bastion should have come with Barrier Rounds intrinsically given its shield-penetrating theme. Perhaps give it this ability through the catalyst?

Along with some actual functional perk, I’d like it to have a unique sound based on who you’re shooting at. For example, if I’m shooting at a shotgun hugger. I’d like it to make a sound that resembles a “-blam!- You”.

2 RepliesAnti-barrier like it should've already had and a modified genesis so that it actually works. A weapon meant for shields should at least kick ass at breaking shields.

Fires three Jotun like tracking projectiles. Lol.

Catalyst makes it fire crispy bits bacon. Your enemies will surrender in happiness.

Have a better bolt pattern

Invisibility and health regeneration on reload after a kill. That would be op.
