The Barrow-Dyad<\/a> Catalysts<\/strong> have finally started to arrive in Act 2 of Destiny 2<\/em><\/a>: Heresy. But unlike previous episodic Exotic Catalysts, these don\u2019t come from running a mission multiple times. Instead, you\u2019ll need to fulfill some secret conditions.<\/p>\n

In this Destiny 2<\/em> guide, we\u2019ll walk you through how to unlock the first Barrow-Dyad Catalyst in Destiny 2<\/em><\/strong>. This Catalyst is called High-Impact Reserves. Barrow-Dyad can also have the The Hatchling, One For All, and Target Lock Catalyst Refits, but they\u2019re currently unavailable in-game.<\/p>\n

This walkthrough assumes you\u2019ve finished the \u201cDyadic Ascension<\/a>\u201d quest already to fully upgrade your Barrow-Dyad\u2019s Intrinsic Perk. <\/p>\n

How to get the High-Impact Reserves Catalyst for Barrow-Dyad<\/h2>\n

\"The<\/p>\n

To get the High-Impact Rounds Catalyst Refit<\/strong> for Barrow-Dyad, you\u2019ll need to complete an Expert version of the Court of Blades activity with the Exotic submachine gun equipped. When the activity ends, you\u2019ll get an Exotic quest called \u201cSharp Osseous Spine<\/strong>.\u201d Take this quest back to the Shaping Slab in Eris\u2019 apartment and exchange it for the \u201cA Needle\u2019s Path<\/strong>\u201d Exotic quest.<\/p>\n

\"A<\/p>\n

The first step of this quest is to fully rank up the Path of Resolve<\/strong>, getting it to reputation level 12. Complete various episodic activities (wearing the episodic armor gives you a boost here!) to level up until you reach the final level and claim the Moment of Clarity upgrade. If you\u2019ve completed the \u201cDyadic Ascension\u201d quest already, \u201cA Needle\u2019s Path\u201d will skip to its second and final step.<\/p>\n

\"The<\/p>\n

Once you\u2019ve reached rank 12 on the Path of Resolve and completed the first step, you\u2019ll need to do another Expert level Court of Blades. However, this time, you\u2019re limited to using precision weapons only (plus Barrow-Dyad). Here\u2019s everything that\u2019s fair game to use:<\/p>\n
