For those that don’t have it, the [b]Heir[/b] [b]Apparent[/b] will be acquired via a [b]quest[/b] (according to data mining)
The Quest
It’s a random reward whenever the player turns over a Gold or Platinum Medal (current platinum card source is the Nightfall.)
bank Contender or Platinum Cards with Eva Levante in order to have a chance at obtaining the [b]Exotic[/b].
Contender Cards will be tied to the core activities, such as Gambit, Strikes and Crucible. Once you've done enough tasks, you will complete your card and will be able to bank it, in a fashion similar to the medals from the last year. The same goes for Platinum Cards but these will be tied to Trials of Osiris and Nightfalls.
(Keep any GG triumphs until this step & turn them in for medals)
[b]As for the[/b] [b]catalyst[/b]
Here are the [b]rumoured[/b]/[b]reported[/b] requirements:
Seems they are Steps 1-4
[b]Step1[/b]: Earn (50) points by obtaining medals. Higher tier medals are worth more points
[b]Step2[/b]: Complete (3) Contender Cards (these are purchased from Eva and have objectives for different activities, Trials, Nightfalls, Strikes, Gambit and Crucible)
[b]Step3[/b]: Collect (90) Competitive Spirit by getting kills (Combatants or Guardians) with Machine Guns in the [b]Daily Focus playlist.[/b] (Today’s is strikes?)
Precision blows grant bonus progress.
[b]Step4[/b]: 700 total kills, which sounds like a lot until you take this thing into Altars of Sorrow
[b]It should be noted that this will probably only be obtainable during the 2021 Guardian Games.[/b]
[b]Catalyst Abilities:[/b]
The Heir Apparent catalyst will increase the strength of its protective arc shield, and it will partially reload the magazine of the gun when destroyed. And of course create the usual fountain of orbs on multikills.
Oh and Guardian Games 2021 has been extended to Tuesday May 11th (was originally mentioned in the roadmap as ending on the Sunday 9th of May)

My catalyst quest is only showing up on 1 character. Is that normal?
-
You'll get the Catalyst quest to drop randomly when you bank a gold or platinum medal at the podium. I got it after my first gold medal banked.
-
I tested the shield in a GM before and after the catalyst. It was like a 2 bullet difference lmao
-
So what does the masterwork do? If its just makes a slightly stronger shield and slightly reloads your gun when its destroyed im gonna be upset.
-
I would think step 4 can be done anytime
-
But, how do you get the catalyst to drop? Just randomly by completing activities in the GG strike playlist?
-
I bought the gun before they removed it from the kiosk.
-
What exactly is the "daily focus" playlist? Is it the node at the tower? Or is it strikes, crucible, Gambit & Ordeal in rotation accessed from the planetary nodes?
-
Got the catalyst and completed it. If I remember it's around the 150 to 250 kills mark. Went into shattered throne and murdered a lot of thrall.

Edited by loudenkl: 4/20/2021 6:29:44 PMI have to admit that it was extremely too easy to get the weapon this time around. Edit: Just had the catalyst drop when banking medals..
-
So what are the rewards for guardian games 2021? Don't tell me it's Heir Apparent and it's catalyst because I and many people already have the gun and almost noone uses it even if the shield is slightly buffed it will still be terrible. With every pop up event that comes and goes my excitement to get on and play fades slightly.
-
Got mine last year. Ready for that catalyst boooiiiiiii

And You Have A Chance To Get It. It's Not Guaranteed.
-
Wow i live being forced to grind objectives to get a catalyst! Cant it just be like it was last year.
-
Sorry, thought it started today right? The reset happened, what time does the games start?
-
Thanks for posting 👍🏻
-
If we have to run Competitive PvP using a Machine gun that never gets Heav for 90 kills,, they can stick the Catalyst up their A** and leave it their. It simply isn't worth the pain and effort for a Gun no one uses..
-
Thanks for easy info.

Edited by xIDEKAx: 4/20/2021 2:23:29 PMI'm happy I don't have to do this again. But, damn do I love that gun! Edit* - Oh thats for Catalyst! Nvm and bring it on!
