Season of the Deep is finally live in Destiny 2, and with it comes an abundance of new goodies for Guardians to collect. One of which is a brand new Catalyst for the Exotic Hand Cannon, Malfeasance, one of the oldest guns in the game. Will this Catalyst finally bring Malfeasance into the meta, or will it remain at the bottom of the barrel? Only time will tell; until then, we can discuss how to get it and what it does. With that said, it’s time to discuss how to get the Malfeasance Catalyst in Destiny 2.
How To Get The Malfeasance Catalyst in Destiny 2
For the short and sweet answer, the Malfeasance Catalyst can be obtained simply by completing either Strikes, Crucible, or Gambit matches. The drop rate is the same throughout all of the activities; it’s just a matter of preference of what activity the player chooses to partake in. Wins or losses don’t apply in the drop rate chance during Crucible or Gambit matches; only the entire completion matters.
Regarding which activity would be the best for efficient results, Strikes would be the best option as they’re easy to run through, and most Strikes can be completed in less than ten minutes. When the boss is defeated, the Catalyst will drop when the final loot chest spawns. Remember that it isn’t a guarantee, so it may take a few runs before finally getting it to drop.
What Does The Malfeasance Catalyst Do?
With the Catalyst acquired, the player must now defeat 500 enemies with the gun to complete it. 500 enemies may seem like a lot, but venturing over to good ol’ Shuro Chi in the Last Wish Raid will get the job done in no time at all. When the final enemy is dead, the Catalyst will be completed and can be fully socketed into the gun. With it, Malfeasance now gains access to the Vorpal Weapon perk. Vorpal Weapon deals extra damage to bosses and enemies on vehicles.
It’s hard to say off the initial look if Vorpal Weapon will save the gun, but there are definitely some new open doors that the weapon can take with it. For example, a Hunter wearing the Lucky Pants Exotic leg piece would be an excellent fit for the gun, as with Vorpal Weapon; this combo has the possibility to shred down bosses with minimal effort. Either way, only time will tell whether or not Malfeasance will rise the ranks in usage with its new Catalyst.
