Destiny 2 Should Add More Catalysts for its Exotic Raid Weapons

gamerant.com:

The raid weapons in Destiny 2 are some of the best in the game. The Vex Mythoclast that was reintroduced with the reprised Vault of Glass raid is a reinterpretation of the original that builds on what fans love, while still offering something more. That catalyst for the Vex Mythoclast builds on this even more by offering a Rampage-like perk and turning it into one of the best weapons for PvP and PvE activities in Destiny 2. While the other raid weapons in Destiny 2 are still fun to use, they can feel circumstantial, and the Vex Mythoclast's reintroduction in the series highlighted something they’re missing: Catalysts.

The Vex Mythoclast isn’t the first exotic raid weapon to get a catalyst in Destiny 2, but because it has so much more prominence than the Legend of Acrius, it can be hard to ignore how much its catalyst brings to the table. It provides an extra perk and builds on a weapon that was already excellent. While adding new catalysts for raid weapons might seem like a move that could make them overpowered and problematic in Destiny 2’s sandbox, the Vex Mythoclast might prove the opposite. The introduction of catalysts for the already powerful raid weapons could still be a double-edged sword, but it could also provide more freedom.

The negatives of adding catalysts for exotic raid weapons are pretty apparent, especially with the stronger ones. Anarchy receiving a catalyst could turn it into a menace and make it too strong, even for endgame activities. Even though it’s fun to wield unmatched power in Destiny 2, it’s clear that a balance is needed to keep activities like the weekly Grandmaster Nightfall strikes and raids a challenge for players.
