Witherhoard Catalyst Quest is insane

[Order]

First Step:

Get 50 Thingies - Alright seems fair, fun Weapon, farmed pretty fast.

Second Step:

300 Strikes / Gambits / Crucible Matches - Eh WTF?! Where did you get that Number?!

200 Multikills - Damn high Number, still got it after 2 Hours.

100 PvP Kills - . . . Thanks Bungie i guess?

To be honest i dont know if i just should bury the Quest already. With my really REALLY unlucky Aim for PvP to get Kills with this Thing and not to imagine getting 300 Matches i may as well be farming for the next Months. Thanks Bungie, really appreciate it.

Would be happy if they cut down those Number at least 50%.

IKR! I ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ hate pvp in the game, so not gonna do it anyway. this weapon is awesome even without orbs on multi kill and auto loading holster

Or bungie could actually make the quest steps work like the stasis memory fragment quests, where you can choose to complete them by doing PVE, crucible or gambit. But hey, its bungie that we are talking about.

That's the problem with Bungie, they don't think before they implement the catalysts. I mean you should have 2 choices for any catalysts going forward or for existing ones: either PvE or PvP. I hate doing PvP for catalyst when that gun is going to be outclassed in everyway except for the new exotic linear fusion.

Could be worse. Could have been Eriana's Vow which is 400 playlist activities up front and no way to speed it up since S8.

As a person who only plays D2 for the PvE and Valorant when I want PvP, this quest is incredibly frustrating. The PvP in D2 feels horrible to me, and having to slog through it using a grenade launcher of all things makes it even worse. Still going to do the stupid ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ quest though.

i got mine after like 3 months. its a pain in the ass. Witherhoard is amazing in crucible with area control. i also completed the medal where you have to kill 3 guardians with a GL without dying with witherhoard.

The catalysts aren't bad if you do them in the season that the weapon becomes available, because you get a buff to how quickly you progress through the catalyst requirement. Afterwards........ yep, suck.

It's a lot easier in momentum control, especially if you use Witherhoard itself or other exotics like the Colony or Fighting Lion.

Since Bungie is adamant not to separate PvP and make some quest steps mandatory to go there, even for something PvE oriented, they should make something similar to double rank bonus for catalysts. Like for a limited time some activities or modes gives bonus progress (e.g. week 1 gambit matches + playlist strike. Week 2 nightfall + trials etc).

Is it really hard to remove PvP requirements or update old catalysts to be in line with current season's xp boost to get them faster (for those who came late or missed the season)? or is it ingrained with codes that doing so would break them?

Or is it just a stupid excuse to boost PvP participation numbers?

More like returning player after basically not playing the game since forsaken launch.

You don't need to use Witherhoard for the cat quest, try to use Salvager's Salvo or even Fighting Lion. With Salvo i remember i took 30+ kills with it in a single match.Chain reaction is insane.But yeah catalyst quest is pretty hard for new comers.

[(V)(;,,;)(V)]

as someone with 15k blighting lion kills (not all pvp to be fair) dont TRY for direct impacts, use it for zone control and choke points making your enemies have to jump over it at come at you. also remember to bounce shots around corners into rooms your about to run into. also great for titan barriers now (before the walls would just eat the wither shot but now they actually drop next to the shield)

the catalyst it makes it so much better though with auto loading holster. fire and swap immediately as you engage and another shot will be ready by the time you have to reload your main weapon or are engaging another enemy.

[Typical64]

you can use any grenade launcher to complete it. if you can wait for momentum control to come back as it is a breeze to get kills, i recommend colony and ignition code with proximity nades.

You should see Eriana's Vow catalyst quest

Okey now i am scared ... how bad is it?

Oh god... I don't know exactly what is required as I did it back in season of Undying but I do know the "do playlist activities" part was awful even with Gambit Prime giving the most points and the season pass multiplier. But trust me, its worth it though as it adds more ammo and autoloading
