The Cryosthesia 77k was introduced with Season of the Splicer, and is proving to be an interesting weapon in Destiny 2. However, the freezing mechanic is a little tricky to take advantage of, and most players feel it isn’t worth the effort.

Fortunately, the Crosthesia 77k Catalyst helps players capitalize on the freeze. It doesn’t make the game powerful enough to shake up the meta, but it is fun to use. Here’s everything players need to know about what the Cryosthesia 77k Catalyst does and how to find one.

The Cryosthesia 77k Catalyst comes with a single, but important perk called Cold efficiency. It offers the following benefit to the weapon:

• Shattering a frozen enemy will instantly refill the Cryosthesia 77k’s magazine from reserves.

This is huge, as normally players find themselves with a frozen enemy and an empty magazine. Switching to another weapon or refilling loses precious time while the enemy is frozen. The Cryosthesia 77k Catalyst fixes this by giving the player an entire magazine of ammo to blast the frozen enemy.

Getting the Cryoshtesia 77k is unfortunately no picnic. Banshee-44 will give the player the quest Stasis Trigger, which is comprised of three parts the player must complete.

In this part of the quest players will need to do three things with any weapon, though the Cryosthesia 77k is strongly advised for the practice. It will play a more prominent role in Part 2.

• Get 75 precision kills
• Kill 50 Guardians
• Kill 100 enemies in PVE.

After completing those tasks, Banshee-44 wants the player to really get to know the Cryosthesia 77k. To do this players will need to do three things with the Cryosthesia 77k. Fair warning, it’s a bit of a grind.

• Generate Calibration Data through playlist Strikes, Nightfalls, Gambit, and/or Crucible.
• Defeat 50 Guardians.
• Defeat 100 enemies in PVE.

This is by far the easiest step. After completing the other absurd requirements the player simply needs to return to speak with Banshee-44, who will turn over the Cryosthesia 77k Catalyst.

Players will want to upgrade the Cryosthesia 77k Catalyst to its full potential. This requires killing 700 enemies using the Cryosthesia 77k. They can do this anywhere, and any enemy kill will count towards the 700.

Fortunately, these kills can be obtained retroactively. Part 2 has at least 150 kills, and if the player used the Cryosthesia 77k in Part 2 ,that’s another 225 kills. By using the weapon exclusively for each of the quests, the player will have around 375 kills. That results in more than half of what’s needed.

While it may be tempting to use other weapons for Part 1 of the Stasis Trigger quest, it’s better in the long run to use the Cryosthesia 77k. While it’s annoying to use without the Catalyst, it will net a lot of retroactive kills and give players solid practice for Part 2.

Lost Sectors and some public events help with the PVE farming. Many players also feel that Nightfall Strikes on a high difficulty is the fastest way to earn Calibration Data. There is also a handy multiplier for Calibration Data for players who reach level 22 on the Season Pass.
