I'm of the idea that not all exotics should have or require catalysts.
A catalyst should only be added if it alters and strengths the primary perk of the exotic, exotics should not be released with a catalyst already in mind. For example, Trinity Ghoul. An underwhelming bow that, with the introduction of it's catalyst, became a very good ad clear weapon. Exotics should be stronger than the average with interesting and unique perks that set themselves apart from others from the get go. A catalyst should be considered and added when older exotics start to fall behind due to power creep and various meta changes over the years to reintroduce those exotics into the meta in interesting ways, that make the exotic feel powerful again.
[i]That being said,[/i] I also believe every exotic weapon in the game, by default, should have kill trackers that track [b]both[/b] PvE and PvP, not 1 or the other. They should also all drop orbs of power by default. Makes zero sense that a legendary can drop orbs but an exotic can't while every legendary can just be masterworked for pretty cheap and an exotic has to have a catalyst given to it.

So much this lol. Theres so many weapons with catalysts that could use a rework or tuning. Sky burners oath - give it full court Borealis - make it have rainbow burn while ADS. Hardlight- see borealis Legend of Acrius- idk what to do with this thing. Just that it needs some loving. Catalysts should be for weapons struggling not everything in the game.

This. There’s no reason every seasonal exotic needs a catalyst. Just give us the gun complete and working as intended since with the catalyst is obvious what they intend for the weapon

Edited by IronHatchett: 9/3/2021 5:08:07 PMApparently asking for exotics to be complete on release and not require catalysts like it's a day 1 patch is asking too much. I would actually prefer the seasonal exotic catalyst quest to just straight up be the quest to get the exotic instead of having it just given to you at level 1.

It makes you actually work for the upgrade instead of just giving it to you. Exotics are complete when you get them. The catalysts are just extras. You dont have to get them if you don’t want.
