How To Get the Malfeasance Catalyst in Destiny 2

Before we dive into how to get the Malfeasance Catalyst, let's first talk about what it is. The Malfeasance Catalyst is an upgrade to the Malfeasance weapon that improves its performance in various ways. Once you obtain the Catalyst, you can upgrade the weapon to increase its range, stability, and handling. The Catalyst also grants the weapon the ability to generate explosive slugs on hit, which makes it a formidable weapon in both PvE and PvP modes.

The first step to getting the Malfeasance Catalyst is to complete Strikes, Crucible matches, or Gambit matches. The Catalyst has a consistent drop rate across all activities, so you can play whichever mode you prefer. However, it's important to note that wins and losses do not affect the drop rate during Crucible or Gambit matches.

Strikes are the most efficient activity for obtaining the Catalyst. You'll have a better chance of getting the Catalyst to drop during Nightfall Strikes, but any Strike will do. The Catalyst drops when the final loot chest spawns, so make sure you stick around until the end of the activity.

Once you have the Catalyst, the next step is to defeat 500 enemies with the Malfeasance gun. This step is important because it unlocks the Catalyst's full potential and provides significant benefits to the gun.

To complete this step quickly, we recommend venturing to Shuro Chi in the Last Wish Raid. This area has a large number of enemies that can be defeated quickly, allowing you to make progress towards the 500 enemy goal in no time. The Catalyst completion occurs upon killing the final enemy, so make sure you keep track of your progress.

The final step to getting the Malfeasance Catalyst is to fully socket it into the gun. This step is crucial because it provides the gun with the Vorpal Weapon perk, which increases damage against bosses, vehicles, and guardians in their super state.

Fully socketing the Catalyst into the gun requires you to complete a series of objectives, including defeating bosses in Nightfall Strikes and Gambit Prime matches. Once you've completed all of the objectives, you'll have the Catalyst fully socketed into your Malfeasance gun.
