Destiny 2: How to Get the Fighting Lion Catalyst and Upgrade it
When you get the Catalyst for the Fighting Lion, you get a special perk that will increase the power of your grenade launcher.
- Chimera– After firing the Fighting Lion, all equipped Kinetic and Power-based weapons will receive a 3 seconds boost to their handling and accuracy.
The best way to take advantage of this special perk is to fire at an enemy with the Fighting Lion, then immediately switch to a different weapon and continue firing to utilize the perk’s abilities. A hand cannon or an SMG is one of the better options for alternative weapons to use with this perk. A sniper rifle could also work, assuming you can aim within 3 seconds and fire off a shot in that time.
In order to find the Catalyst for Fighting Lion, you’ll also need luck on your side. As any non-Guardian enemy can drop the Catalyst, you may be looking for a while. As of right now, there is no way to increase the drop chance that we know of, including holding the weapon or defeating enemies with the Fighting Lion. An excellent way to do this is to focus on low-level enemies that can be taken down quickly and easily.
