Forgotten Destiny 2 Exotic\u2019s Catalyst rework finally makes it worth using BungieOne of Destiny 2\u2018s oldest Exotics received a rework in The Final Shape, and, as a result, players have started to praise the sizable power boost it delivers. Added in 2018\u2019s Forsaken expansion, the auto rifle is undeniably gaining in popularity now that the dust has settled on The Final Shape. Post-change, the Focused Fire perk unlocked with Cerberus+1\u2019s Catalyst functions as follows: \u201cAfter a final blow with this weapon, hold reload to return ammo to the magazine and swap to a tighter spread that deals increased damage.\u201d This is contrary to the Catalyst\u2019s original function, which allowed Guardians to switch to Focused Fire mode at will with no damage boost. \u201cI can\u2019t believe no one is talking about how good Cerberus+1 is after the Catalyst rework,\u201d said one player on Reddit, sharing their disbelief that Bungie\u2019s change had so far slipped under the radar. Judging by responses to the OP, Guardians had collectively overlooked the buff until now. \u201cHoly smokes, will have to give that a bash on my War Rig Titan,\u201d came one response. \u201cSo much new sh*t I forgot about the change. I\u2019ll try it out. Sounds fun!\u201d read another. \u201cThis is my all-time favorite Exotic, and that\u2019s from when it SUCKED! Can\u2019t wait to try this out,\u201d one excitable Guardian mused. One quirk not mentioned in-game is that Focused Fire eliminates damage drop-off or, more precisely, has an inverse damage penalty, making performance less effective at close range but deadly to enemies and other Guardians at range. With Khvostov 7G-0X currently dominating the Primary Exotic meta, Cerberus+1 becoming a concurrent top-tier meta pick is unlikely, but it\u2019s already found a foothold in Crucible. With balance changes for the former confirmed to be on the cards, you could see it more frequently soon.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
