Acquiring catalysts in Destiny 2 is always an important part of completing anExoticweapon’s cycle, as it usually adds a pretty powerful feature to the weapon that could significantly enhance it in battles, and for Monte Carlo, rest assured that all the grind is worth it.
How To Get New Monte Carlo Catalyst
Monte Carlo’s Catalyst is arandom dropfrom Ritual Playlist, which includesVanguard Ops,Nightfalls,Crucible matches, andGambit. We can assure you that thedrop chance is really low. And by that, we mean you may even reset your rank in a single playlist likeCrucible, and you still don’t get the catalyst.
So, keep in mind that this is going to be a time-consuming process. Once you get the catalyst, you will face yet another grind to activate it. In order to apply the catalyst on the weapon,you will need to kill lots of enemieswith Monte Carlo. So, expect theKineticAuto Rifle to become your first choice for a while until you enable to catalyst.
How To Use Markov Chain
Once enabled, Monte Carlo’s catalyst will adda new melee damaging modeto the weapon. If you read through the weapon’s original traits, you will find one named “Markov Chain.” What this trait does is actually charging the melee mode of Monte Carlo.
Every time you kill an enemy with Monte Carlo, you gain one Markov Chain. If youstack five Markov Chains, you will be able to hold reload button to switch toMonte Carlo’s melee mode, which almost turns it into a Glaive. Now, if you press your melee button, you can perform a melee attack with Monte Carlo’s Glaive mode, and it deals a crazy amount of damage, which is more powerful than any melee ability that you have already equipped on your character.
The good thing is Monte Carlo also offersa faster way of getting five stacks of Markov Chain— by performing a single melee kill. If you get that melee kill using the Monte Carlo’s Glaive mode, you are going to renew the Glaive mode for one more hit, and this already createsa chain of melee attacksusing Monte Carlo as long as you get kills for every single hit.
Keep in mind that a five-stack Markov Chain will only remain active forsix seconds, which means if you don’t get a melee kill with Monte Carlo within the timeframe, you will lose the power.
As you can guess, it’s a pretty strong catalyst for an Auto Rifle, which makes it equally effective in both long-range and short-range battles.
