Lodestar, a recently introduced Exotic Trace Rifle in Destiny 2’s Episode 3: Heresy, requires its Catalyst to unlock enhanced capabilities. Fortunately, obtaining this upgrade is straightforward, even post-Episode completion.
Acquiring the Catalyst
Reach tier 145 in the Heresy Season Pass to claim the Catalyst. Post-Episode players benefit from Bungie’s update automatically granting prior Episode Catalysts. Unclaimed versions can be retrieved via the Tower’s Monument to Lost Lights.

Tier 145’s placement in Act 2 indicates temporary accessibility restrictions, a pattern likely to continue in future content updates.
Catalyst Effects
The Supercharged Matrix perk activates when amplified: Significant boosts to reload speed, aim assistance, and ADS mobility enhance combat efficiency. These improvements optimize sustained damage output for this energy weapon.
With the Catalyst secured, consider exploring other enhancement opportunities. For comprehensive Catalyst requirements, consult available upgrade guides and strategic Destiny 2 resources.
