What I don’t get is why exotics don’t just have them built in like passive buffs.
The Seasonal exotics like Eriana’s Vow make sense to have their cats only obtainable via their quest and it does makes sense to have Acrius’s obtained via Prestige Leviathan, but weapons like Sleeper and Telesto that have zero relation whatsoever to EoW and SoS, Izanagi having its catalyst locked behind Heroic Menagerie, Sunshot, Prospector’s, etc.
Those? That’s just dumb. You get the exotic, either have a quest for its catalyst to be unlocked or just have its catalyst built in and actually masterwork it to make orbs after the catalyst progression is finished.
That makes sense. Bungie’s decision does not.

Like I know lorewise it doesn't make sense but in the end it's to get folks to jump into those activities more. Sometimes people need that extra little push to try and run into those Raids, especially prestige. I don't mind random catalysts but I think it is a good point that hopefully with future Exotics, or Exotics that don't currently have a catalyst, to have their catalysts obtained through something pertaining to their designated lore. Valid point
