Touch Of Malice Catalyst

The catalyst unlocks the Precision Instrument perk: sustained damage increases precision damage. Update 9.7.0 swapped this perk in for the older Rapid Hit, so the catalyst now favours steady precision fire.

The intrinsic trait has the rifle's own name, Touch of Malice: the final round of the magazine deals bonus damage drawn from the wielder's life force and then regenerates, and defeating powerful combatants or many targets quickly restores health. Charged with Blight: precision hits raise stability and reload speed and drain life force into a ball of Darkness, which an alternate weapon action fires to restore health, blind combatants and inflict corruption. The other fixed perks on the weapon are Polygonal Rifling, Flared Magwell and Hand-Laid Stock.

The catalyst is acquired inside the Dreadnaught during the King's Fall raid, and its objective counts 700 targets defeated with the rifle.

• Touch of Malice catalyst, unlocked and delivered to your account, without the masterwork step.
• Extras on the order form: Self-play (Sherpa) and Add Catalyst Masterwork.

• The King's Fall raid has to be playable on the account; it is open to every player without an expansion.

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.
