Overview
The Microcosm Catalyst is the Catalyst for Microcosm, an exotic kinetic Trace Rifle from Destiny 2: The Final Shape. Its triumph requires 400 defeats with the weapon.
How to complete
You need Microcosm first. It is the reward from the Convalescence: Budding quest, the last step of the Convalescence questline from Micah-10. That quest requires three Cooperative Focus missions, which are designed for a full Fireteam, and the weapon cannot be obtained solo through them. Once you have Microcosm, equip it and defeat 400 targets with it. The triumph tracks progress as "Targets defeated."
The catalyst
The catalyst adds two perks:
- Thresh: kills with the weapon generate a small amount of Super energy.
- Stopping Power: Kinetic ordinance staggers combatants more easily, and the weapon gains target acquisition and extra damage against low-health targets.
Microcosm's own trait, Paracausal Imbuement, is separate from the catalyst.
How the catalyst drops
The catalyst is a random drop. Players report it coming from Vanguard Ops, Gambit and Crucible, as well as ritual playlist match completion screens and Seasonal Hub turn-ins. Exotic Orders can also be spent at the Seasonal Hub to chase it. Older listings did not include a catalyst for it at all, so its drop sources may have changed over time.
