How to Unlock It

The Catalyst drops from the final boss of the Battle for Brooklyn mission or from named bosses throughout Brooklyn. Run the mission on higher difficulties for better loot quality. Brooklyn named bosses also have a chance to drop it during free-roam activities.

Chemical Agent, Explained

Dealing and receiving status effects builds twelve Catalysis stacks of damage and status power; maxed stacks turn kills into armor and reload speed, and burning can’t break your aim.

Build Tips

The Catalyst excels in skill DPS builds and hybrid setups that combine weapon kills with skill damage. Pair it with skills that benefit from raw damage boosts like the Striker Drone or Assault Turret. For full setups see tested Division 2 builds.
