Microcosm Catalyst

The catalyst adds two perks. Thresh: each kill adds a little Super energy. Stopping Power: the Kinetic ordnance staggers more easily and gains target acquisition and extra damage against enemies that are nearly dead. Super energy from kills pairs with the beam's extra damage after the Super ends.

The intrinsic of Microcosm is Paracausal Beam: fires a beam of Kinetic light with massive bonus damage to shields. Paracausal Imbuement: final blows grant Super energy, and the weapon gains bonus damage once your Super expires. The other fixed perks on the weapon are Hammer-Forged Rifling, Enhanced Battery and Hand-Laid Stock.

The catalyst drops in Vanguard, Gambit and Crucible activity, and it is completed by defeating targets with Microcosm. Progress shows on the catalyst's record in the Exotic Catalysts section of the Triumphs screen.

• Microcosm catalyst, unlocked and delivered to your account, without the masterwork step.
• Extras on the order form: Add Catalyst Masterwork.

• Microcosm already unlocked on the account, because the catalyst is slotted into that trace rifle.

Is the masterwork part of the lot?

The catalyst is ordered on its own. The masterwork step is the extra named Add Catalyst Masterwork, so tick it if the catalyst should be masterworked as well.
