I got the catalyst to drop after about 15 crucible games, I farmed it in about 30 minutes on the first GoA encounter, and took it for a whirl. Dude, it feels [i]soooo good.[/i] Here’s a breakdown:
First Part of The Catalyst:
+ 20 Range
+ 10 Stability
For controller players like myself, the stability is a very nice improvement. Not drastic, because Thorn never really kicked a lot, but it’s great for reducing flinch.
The range is also very good, and it’s definitely noticeable. I don’t know the exact numbers, but it feels like it adds at least 4 meters of range, give or take.
Second Part of The Catalyst:
- Killing Wind*, Modded
So the Catalyst perk is just Killing Wind, but it also procs on Remnant pick up. It also has a nice little nugget of power, which definitely comes in handy. The timer stacks on kills and Remnant pick up.
What I mean is, when you get a kill, you get 6 seconds of Killing Wind, but, if you were to go pick up the remnant, it doesn’t refresh the perk. It actually completely adds on to the timer. So if you were to get a kill, take 2 seconds to go grab the Remnant, you would have 10 seconds of Killing Wind.
*For those of you who don’t know, Killing Wind gives you +20 range, +30 handling, and +50 mobility for 5.5 seconds.

It’ll get nerfed.
