Are you looking for the best exotics catalyst for your weapon? Then you are in luck, as here we will go through everything that you need to know about the catalysts available in Destiny 2.

Destiny 2 is a popular looter-shooter video game created by Bungie, well known for its creation of the Halo franchise of video games. In this MMO RPG, you can select from three distinct classes and earn various gears and exotics to customize your Guardian’s appearance.

With each new update, Bungie adds new weapons to the game, and they also release some exotics catalysts for these weapons. Players can use these catalysts to further enhance their weapon stats and other factors.

Exotic Catalysts are highly sought-after classes in Destiny 2. They can drastically change a mediocre weapon into some of the best ones in the game. In addition, you can further enhance your weapon stats with exotic catalysts, which is impossible with legendary weapons.
