Fusion Rifles have seen a major buff in Season of the Chosen and the Telesto in Destiny 2 is no exception. It remains one of the most powerful if not the most powerful fusion rifle in the game, even after the wave of nerfs over the years.

The Telesto Catalyst provides a nice boost to the weapon, but it can be one of the more annoying Catalysts to track down. If you’re looking to main Telesto, it’s arguably worth the hassle, but it's important to know what you’re getting into. Here’s everything you need to know about what the Telesto Catalyst does and how to find it.
The Telesto Catalyst provides a single perk with only one benefit:
- Deeper Pockets – Increased ammo capacity.
This may seem rather lackluster, but for anyone familiar with the Telesto it’s a wonderfully nasty bonus. Telesto is already a powerful weapon at short range that fires homing projectiles that deal a secondary Void explosion.
It comes with perks that enable the player to automatically reload their weapon. With an extended clip from the Telesto Catalyst players can keep up a steady stream of energy blasts and void explosions for longer.
This is where things can get a little tricky. There are only two ways to obtain a Telesto Catalyst:
- Legendary Lost Sectors
- Master Lost Sectors
Lost Sectors are essentially daily dungeons that appear in the game world. Typically they’ve been found in Europa and Cosmodrome, but they can show up anywhere. They rotate out every day changing location along with the layout and enemies inside.

To access a Lost Sector players need to meet two criteria:
- Be Power Level 1,250
- Complete the normal version of the Lost Sector.
It’s advised the player is a little higher than 1,250 but hitting the max 1,310 isn’t necessary to complete a Lost Sector. Here’s a tentative list of where these Lost Sectors will appear until the completion of Season of the Chosen.
To upgrade the Telesto Catalyst players need to achieve 300 kills with the Telesto. This is easiest in PVE, but the kills can be obtained from anywhere. The kills are also retroactive so if the player takes the Telesto into Lost Sectors to grind for the Telesto Catalyst it’s all put in the bank for the upgrade.
Fortunately, there are still plenty of Lost Sectors before the end of the season and likely going to be more afterward. Players can grind the same Lost Sector as many times as they want while it’s available. It's advised to look up a guide to determine the most efficient way to complete the Lost Sector.
Legendary Lost Sectors are much easier to complete than Master Lost Sectors. That being said, the drop rate for the Telesto Catalyst is likely higher in Master Lost Sectors. Completing them as part of a team will raise efficiency. But running one solo will net better rewards. Generally speaking, players should run Legendary Lost Sectors solo to get nice rewards while grinding for the Telesto Catalyst and run Master Lost Sectors in groups for max efficiency and likely better drop rates.
Players wanting to snag the Telesto Catalyst shouldn’t wait too long. While it’s likely more Lost Sectors will appear after Season of the Chosen there’s no guarantee it’ll happen. The last Lost Sector scheduled to appear at the time of this article is May 10th.
Given the random nature of the Lost Sector, some will be harder than others. Players should test run each one as they appear and then grind the easier ones for best results.
