Wolfsbane, Destiny 2‘s long-anticipated battle axe, landed in the game as a reward for finishing the Heliostat Exotic mission. This deadly weapon has four different catalysts to choose from, each leaning into some of its defining traits, and you can get them by playing its mission.
While Bungie seems to have done away with crafting entirely after Echoes, some Exotics seem to be exempt from that rule, including the new battle axe. Three of Wolfsbane’s four catalysts add existing perks to this weapon, but one of them enhances its unique features. As usual, the catalysts are hidden behind some small secrets in Heliostat. Here’s how you can get them.
All Wolfsbane catalysts in Destiny 2
Wolfsbane’s main gameplay loop is hitting enemies with light attacks to charge up its heavy attack and build up Nano-Assault, which turbocharges the weapon. Continued light attacks are one of its key features, and three of its catalysts give that combination a little more juice.
- Attrition Orbs Refit: Dealing sustained damage creates an orb of power.
- Relentless Strikes Refit: Landing three light attacks quickly grants you heavy ammo.
- Burning Ambition Refit: Damaging targets adds Scorch to them.
- Subroutine: ~Recursion: Quicksilver nanites grant more health based on your stacks of Nano-Assault. Taking damage while Nano-Assault is active can generate nanites near you.
All of these are available after finding the associated secrets in Heliostat, which we’ve listed below.
How to get all Wolfsbane catalysts in Destiny 2
Getting the catalysts for Wolfsbane doesn’t involve that many secrets. In short, all you need to do is pick up a data pad, install it in a nearby terminal, and complete the mission (thanks, 360GameTV). Plugging the device in will change the terminal’s screen, indicating you’re eligible to get the associated catalyst.
You don’t have to complete all of those steps in a single run, so don’t worry about error codes or heading back to orbit. It’s possible to pick up the gadget in one run (at which point it disappears), then interact with the terminal on a second try, and complete the mission on a third, and you still get the credit for the catalyst.
First Wolfsbane catalyst location (Attrition Orbs)
The first data pad appears early in the mission. After defeating the first group of enemies, you’ll come up on a radioactive reactor. Summon the shielding Psion and head past the reactor, then look for a datapad across from the second device, hidden behind a pile of crates. Interact with the console on the other side of the hallway, just behind the shielding Psion’s next spawn point.
Are the Wolfsbane catalysts time-gated?
Yes, the Wolfsbane catalysts are time-gated. In the week of Oct. 7, when the weapon was released, only the Attrition Orbs Refit was available, with the Enclave indicating others weren’t obtainable at that time. Going by Bungie’s usual procedure, expect to unlock a new catalyst each week, in the order we listed above.
