How To Get Vex Mythoclast Catalyst

Alright Guardians, gather 'round the digital campfire. We're gonna talk about something special, something shiny, something that makes your Vex Mythoclast go from “pretty darn good” to “holy-moly-melt-everything-in-sight” good. You guessed it, we're diving into how to snag that elusive Catalyst.

Think of the Vex Mythoclast without its Catalyst as a really fast car… with standard tires. It’ll get you from A to B, sure. But with the Catalyst? That’s like slapping on some Formula 1 slicks. Suddenly, you’re not just getting there; you're dominating the road. Ready to upgrade those tires?

Why Bother with the Catalyst? Is it Really That Good?

Oh, absolutely! The Vex Mythoclast Catalyst adds the perk "Calculated Balance". This significantly improves stability and weapon ready speed after defeating a target. Defeating multiple targets further improves these effects, stacking up to 5x.

Imagine mowing down a wave of Thrall in the Crucible. Each kill pumps up the speed and stability – turning your Mythoclast into a laser-accurate, lightning-fast powerhouse. Sounds fun, right?

More tangibly, Calculated Balance drastically improves Handling, Stability, and Reload Speed with each stack. These bonuses make the Vex Mythoclast even more lethal in both PVE and PVP activities. Handling will make swapping to your special or heavy weapon much faster. Stability will allow you to land more headshots in a row without re-adjusting your aim. Reload Speed will improve your damage per second.

So, How Do We Actually Get It? (The Not-So-Secret Sauce)

Okay, here's the deal. Unlike some other catalysts, this one isn't about slaying a million Hive with a rubber chicken (though that would be entertaining). This is a Raiding Affair!

You get the Vex Mythoclast Catalyst inside the Vault of Glass raid. I know, I know, another reason to run that iconic raid. But hey, at least the scenery is gorgeous, right? And the music is top-notch! Just another reason to get yourself into the Vault of Glass!

After claiming your shiny Vex Mythoclast, this quest will not automatically be added to your quests. You will need to get another drop from within the raid to actually unlock the Catalyst quest for the Vex Mythoclast. Any drop will do, just complete an encounter and grab any item that drops.

The Catalyst Quest: A Grind, But Worth It!

Alright, so you've gotten the drop to activate your Vex Mythoclast quest. Now comes the part that separates the dedicated Guardians from the… well, the Guardians who just admire the Mythoclast from afar. What does this quest entail?

• Defeat 400 Combatants with Vex Mythoclast: Simple enough, right? Just point and shoot.
• Defeat 30 Combatants with Fusion Rifle Final Blows in Override or Astral Alignment: Now, this is where the grind starts. Override and Astral Alignment are no longer available, so just do the Shattered Realm activities. Make sure the kills are Fusion Rifle Final Blows.
• Complete Activities: This requires you to complete Strikes, Gambit matches, Crucible matches, Nightfalls, raids, or dungeons.

Let's be honest, it's a bit of a grind. But think of it this way: you're essentially forging a deeper bond with your Mythoclast. It's like training a dragon; the more time you spend together, the more powerful you both become. And that dragon, in this case, breathes solar death. Speaking of which, try to grind in a lower level activity with an auto-loading holster heavy weapon. This allows you to spam your Vex Mythoclast a whole lot more!

Tips & Tricks for Speeding Up the Grind

Nobody wants to spend their entire life grinding for a Catalyst. So, here are a few tricks to make the process a little less… grindy:

• Pick the right activity. Shuro Chi in The Shattered Throne dungeon is great for the 400 combatants with the Vex Mythoclast. The constant stream of enemies is perfect for racking up those kills.
• Team up! Misery loves company, right? Plus, a fireteam can help you clear activities faster. Having a reliable fireteam will save you tons of time.
• Don't get discouraged! It might feel like a long road, but the destination is well worth it. Just keep blasting those Vex (or Hive, or Fallen, or Cabal… you get the idea).

Is the Vex Mythoclast Catalyst worth it?

Honestly? Absolutely. It elevates the Vex Mythoclast from a great weapon to a truly legendary one. The enhanced stability, handling, and reload speed make it a beast in both PvE and PvP. Plus, let's be real, it just looks cooler with that extra bit of flair. Who doesn’t want to show off their hard-earned loot?

So, what are you waiting for? Grab your fireteam, dive into the Vault of Glass, and claim your Vex Mythoclast Catalyst. Your enemies (and your vault) will thank you. And remember, Guardians: Eyes up! (And aim steady.)
