What Are Exotic Catalysts

Exotic Catalysts are a unique item plant in a variety of activities. When you receive a Catalyst for a particular Exotic weapon, you can apply that Catalyst to an Exotic weapon from its perk carte du jour. If a weapon does not accept a Catalyst slot in its perk menu, it doesn't have one and, therefore, cannot be Masterworked.

These Catalysts volition Masterwork a weapon once their Catalyst objective is complete. While the objective varies from Exotic to Exotic, they generally ask for 500 combatant kills while using that weapon.

Once a Goad objective is consummate, inspect the weapon one more fourth dimension and apply the Masterwork by hovering over the Goad icon. That Exotic weapon is now Masterworked, gaining additional stats or even a new perk.
