Destiny 2’s latest update introduces 26 new catalysts—here’s how to complete your collection.

June 10, 2026

Strange as it may seem, Destiny 2’s monumental final update has arrived, signaling the conclusion of an era. Bungie has certainly made a splash with this release, introducing 26 new catalysts and refreshing nine existing ones. Every Exotic weapon now has a catalyst, ensuring no one gets left behind in this grand finale.

Here’s a rundown of the new catalysts, how to obtain them, and the changes made to existing ones. Be prepared for a bit of a grind, but with not much else on the horizon, it’s a perfect time to dive in.

The update brings 26 new catalysts to Exotic weapons that previously lacked them, meaning every golden-tier gun now has an upgrade option. While catalysts for raid and dungeon-exclusive Exotics remain tied to their respective activities, it appears that Exotics obtainable through random drops, quests, or the Exotic Archive have their catalysts available in the general loot pool. This means you can engage in ritual activities and complete Exotic Orders in hopes of snagging the catalysts you desire.

Most of these new and updated catalysts offer significant enhancements, and I have my personal favorites. Riskrunner stands out with its new Chain Reaction explosions, complementing its already impressive add-clearing capabilities. The Last Word also shines with its new catalyst, making it a must-have for gunslingers in both PvE and PvP.

One key takeaway from these new catalysts is that boss DPS is about to get a serious boost. With Anarchy and Divinity now applying Jolt, or The Lament applying scorch, bosses will be more vulnerable to extra damage. Additionally, Parasite’s Envious Arsenal allows you to reload it with other weapons during damage rotations, which is a game-changer. My top pick, however, is Repulsor Brace for Collective Obligation—a simple yet essential change that this raid exotic needed for years after being overshadowed by newer perks.

Here’s what each new catalyst offers and how to acquire them:

Exotic Weapon	Catalyst Location	Catalyst Perk
Anarchy	Likely from any ritual activity (Vanguard Ops, Crucible, and Gambit), or Exotic Order payouts in the Seasonal Hub	Jolting Feedback: Dealing repeated damage with this weapon inflicts Jolt. While amplified, Jolt is applied faster.
Bastion	Likely from any ritual activity (Vanguard Ops, Crucible, and Gambit), or Exotic Order payouts in the Seasonal Hub	Cast No Shadows: Dealing melee damage increases this weapon’s handling and loads a small amount of ammo from reserves.
Collective Obligation	Random drop from the final boss of the Vow of the Disciple raid	Repulsor Brace: Defeating a Void-debuffed target grants an overshield.
Conditional Finality	Random drop from the final boss of the Root of Nightmares raid	Heal Clip: Reloading shortly after dealing a final blow grants Cure to you and your nearby allies. Rimestealer: Destroying a Stasis crystal or defeating a frozen target with this weapon grants you Frost Armor.
Deterministic Chaos	Likely from any ritual activity (Vanguard Ops, Crucible, and Gambit), or Exotic Order payouts in the Seasonal Hub	Target Lock: Damage increases the longer this weapon remains on a target.
Devil’s Ruin	Likely from any ritual activity (Vanguard Ops, Crucible, and Gambit), or Exotic Order payouts in the Seasonal Hub	Collective Action: Collecting an Elemental pickup or destroying a Tangle grants this weapon a stacking period of increased damage. Throwing a Tangle provides additional time.
Divinity	Random drop from the final boss of the Garden of Salvation raid	Jolting Feedback: Dealing repeated damage with this weapon inflicts Jolt. While amplified, Jolt is applied faster. Focused Fury: Dealing a portion of the magazine as precision damage grants this weapon bonus damage. The shot count is reset whenever the weapon is reloaded or stowed.
Edge of Action	Likely from any ritual activity (Vanguard Ops, Crucible, and Gambit), or Exotic Order payouts in the Seasonal Hub	Repulsor Brace: Defeating a Void-debuffed target grants an overshield.

Last Word	Likely from any ritual activity (Vanguard Ops, Crucible, and Gambit), or Exotic Order payouts in the Seasonal Hub	Killing Wind: Final blows grant increased mobility, weapon range, and handling for a short duration. Envious Assassin: Defeating targets with other weapons before drawing this one transfers ammo to the magazine from reserves. This effect can overflow the magazine based on the number of targets defeated.
Microcosm	Likely from any ritual activity (Vanguard Ops, Crucible, and Gambit), or Exotic Order payouts in the Seasonal Hub	Thresh: Killing combatants with this weapon generates a small amount of Super energy. Stopping Power: This weapon’s Kinetic ordinance can more easily stagger combatants, and grant increased target acquisition and damage against low-health targets.
One Thousand Voices	Random drop from the final boss of the Last Wish raid	Fall from Grace: The weapon has become partially Taken. Detonations produce Taken energy that aggressively seeks out nearby targets and Blights them.
Parasite	Likely from any ritual activity (Vanguard Ops, Crucible, and Gambit), or Exotic Order payouts in the Seasonal Hub	Envious Arsenal: Dealing damage with both other weapons before readying this weapon refills it from reserves.
Still Hunt	Likely from any ritual activity (Vanguard Ops, Crucible, and Gambit), or Exotic Order payouts in the Seasonal Hub	Lucky Shot: Reloading after a precision final blow causes precision hits to refill a round from reserves.

Wish-Ender	Random drop from the Shattered Throne dungeon	One for All: Hitting three separate targets increases damage for a moderate duration.
Xenophage	Random drop from the Pit of Heresy dungeon	Chain Reaction: Each final blow with this weapon creates an elemental damage explosion. Rampage: Kills with this weapon temporarily grant increased damage, stacking up to three times.

Bungie has also enhanced several Exotic weapon catalysts, making them more engaging—previously just stat bonuses, they now come with added perks.

Now features To the Pain as a catalyst perk, which perfectly complements its playstyle: While equipped, taking damage boosts handling and aim assist until the weapon is stowed.

This catalyst now includes Supercharged Magazine, which is quite useful: While amplified, ammo gradually transfers from reserves to the magazine. Running while amplified speeds up ammo regeneration and overflows the magazine.

You now benefit from Heal Clip, which grants Cure to you and nearby allies when reloading shortly after achieving a final blow—though it’s not the most thrilling addition.

Now has the Loose Change perk, enhancing the overall experience: Applying an elemental debuff to a target boosts reload speed, aim assist, and movement while aiming down sights for a brief period.

Gain access to Incandescent and Burning Ambition, a significant upgrade: Defeating a target spreads scorch to nearby enemies, and dealing sustained damage scorches the target.

This AoE powerhouse is even more formidable with Chain Reaction: Each final blow creates an elemental damage explosion.

It now features Danger Zone as a perk, though it may not be widely favored: The blast radius increases when surrounded by enemies, but while active, it deals significantly less damage to the user.

Now includes the new Light Touch perk for added usability: This weapon gains reload speed, handling, and aim down sights speed when you are Amplified, Radiant, or have Devour.

Rapid Hit has been replaced by Precision Instrument, which boosts overall damage: Dealing sustained damage increases precision damage.

Its special reload now consumes Fate of All Fools to grant a single micro missile round, dealing bonus damage based on the number of stacks consumed.

Its catalyst can now be activated by dealing sustained damage, in addition to securing kills.

Incandescent has been added to its catalyst, which is always a solid choice: Defeating a target spreads scorch to those nearby.
