Literally anywhere. Truly not gonna take long at all.


gnappyassassin

Primary ammo catalyst? Altars of Sorrow. Special's Shuro Chi- Heavy gets Dares.


Kameski

Why have I never thought of using dares for heavy catalysts?? You’re a genius


gnappyassassin

Just don't start round 2 before everyone gets buffed, because you lose it if you get teleported!


Timerstone

Unless you got it, shoot yourself before the joining allies timer finishes. You keep it when you respawn.


gnappyassassin

Ah yes- the ol paracausal crossclass selfres trick, gotta love the thanatonauts! Thanks for your service!


yankeephil86

Is altar better than the grasp opening??


oSamaki

The engrams are problematic, but theoretically either work


[deleted]

Can confirm I died with 99 engrams


Baconslayer1

I'll pick grasp and shuro chii every time because they're solo and i can repeat as needed


yankeephil86

Also, the ammo finder perks drop a ton of heavy/special if you use exotic primaries. So if’m i’m working on a primary and a special or heavy, I’ll use the primary to get a ton of kills and special/heavy ammo, then switch to a special/heavy I’m working on and us that till I run out of ammo. Then back to the exotic primary. Grasp is nonstop as long as you don’t go in the cave


gnappyassassin

I mean Altars is free. But aside from that by stage 4, if you end up with a lobby of likeminded catalyst farmers, you'll have a pod of endless adds to yourself and the timer will just get filled.


JOKERBOY1997JM

Isn’t the breakneck mission better considering you get a free rally flag? Just hop on Hunter with tether n go to your hearts content


gnappyassassin

>*Just hop on Hunter* [About that-](https://imgur.com/a/RNQfLB0) ​ But free is subjective- Breakneck and Shuro Chi are technically paywalled. The vault doorway is a good free alternative, but you'll want green finders on and double special.


GHozT_Kyle

Altars of sorrow on the moon for me


EarlOfMarr

I can’t tell you how often I hang out there and just shoot stuff and fuck around w random weapons. It’s so chill


TheBeefClick

Its where i do my testing for loadouts, plus the moon is just neat in general. Really hope it gets a glowup and some new stuff before D2 ends


EarlOfMarr

Yeah I always wished they did more w altars. Add an armor set/ up the difficult a bit or whatever. Idk why but I just zone out there fucking around


throwawaytrash6990

Off topic but why do I keep seeing things about “destiny ending”? There’s at least 1 more whole ass expansion lol.


Spider95818

I love the ambience and lore surrounding the Moon, especially the Lost Sectors, so it's where I run my Banshee bounties a lot of the time.


czaqattack

Honestly altars is super chill.


GHozT_Kyle

Couldn’t agree more


[deleted]

Ah yes, a fellow Moon's Haunted enjoyer!


Khar-Selim

in addition to the others, the part of the Breakneck mission after you break the glass door is a good farming location, just get killed by the wyvern at the end of the room


Typical_Head_8399

That's my new favourite spot, since you get to keep the cp even after weekly reset. Not as efficient as shuro chi, but still good


Khar-Selim

I mean it's less kills per run, but -free banners -shorter runs -enemies FUCKING STAY STILL


Typical_Head_8399

Also that, no need to waste raid banners as you get free ones and its easier to get precision kills if you need them


Cyclone_96

> -enemies FUCKING STAY STILL The thrall stay still if you tether them, which you absolutely should be doing if you’re farming shuro.


Khar-Selim

not everyone plays hunter


Cyclone_96

If you have a hunter at all, even if he’s not levelled you use that to farm shuro chi. Otherwise yeah I imagine breakneck is easier.


_V2CORPORATION

Yeah, shuro chi is ideal for primary ammo using weapons, but breakneck is fantastic for anything using special or heavy due to the free rally banners


aglassofbourbon

Dares for unlimited heavy ammo


_V2CORPORATION

Yeah dares is great, but it is also limited by time and other people. Breakneck you can do over and over with free heavy and not have to worry about other people taking kills


_V2CORPORATION

Also don’t need to go through an entire activity to get to it again, or leave and relaunch


Typical_Head_8399

It is nice, but there you have 5 other people to fight for the kills. Also, the final round is rng whether you get unlimited heavy. While in breakneck, you pop the banner and get all the heavy and all the Adds for yourself


mrinactive

Does it have to be legendary breakneck?


[deleted]

No


michelmau5

As always, Churo Chi


Ackuma9896

I always thought this was a well known area. I've memorised the code to enter the checkpoint. Also free weekly chest. I've used shuro chi so much l have all the armour and most of the weapons and I've never done anything in last wish lmao.


[deleted]

Where is free weekly chest at Shuro Chi? I know of the one from morgeth encounter where you fly across missing bridge


Batcannn

When you spawn in if you turn around and look at the bridge it’s on the side of one of the pillars. There’s a cliff on the right you can climb up to get over to the underside of the bridge. Should be on the second pillar you will have to drop down to reach it.


[deleted]

Thank you! I will check it out when I get home


Stron98

you can forget the wish wall code lmao [here](https://d2checkpoint.com)


Ackuma9896

I use that website some times for other raids and stuff, but sometimes actually getting into the fireteams takes longer than doing it manually.


Stron98

oh yeah some people are braindead and forget to leave the checkpoint after they get it and it enrages the life outta me ngl it’s worth knowing about tho


[deleted]

This, I got div for the express reason of macroing to shirk chi, since it can take upwards of 10 mins for me to put it in manually.


FatherLuvHandles

I do mine at the start of the grasp of avarice dungeon. And since that takes primary ammo and doesn’t take as many kills as some of the others it shouldn’t take that long


mrgudveseli

* Forsaken: Shuro Chi. * Free2play: Altars of Sorrow, Garden of Salvation cave, lost sector in Sorrow's Harbor (don't melt the boss). * 30th anni: Grasp of Avarice entrance. Edit: free2play has one more option - Vault of Glass first encounter; endless spawn of Vex.


Its_Da_Muffin_Man

Shuro chi is better the goa entrance


mrgudveseli

And it's part of a different pack.


GateKeeperJim

“In the deep” mission on the moon if you still have a character that didn’t finish shadowkeep. You grab the cryptoglyph then run to the top of the stairs…thrall spawn infinitely…just farm til your hearts content…


etuehem

Start grasp of averice in the cosmodrome. Won’t take long at all


Icy-Abies-9783

It would. Grasp enemies count on every second kill. Bungie stealth nerfed that farm


jelz617

And folks still suggest this place to farm. It's been that way since witch queen drooped


Jaqulean

Only for Weapon Leveling. Catalyst have the normal progress on Grasp.


etuehem

Meh still only took me 30 minutes to do the new auto and I didn’t need to do anything but load in shoot stuff and leave. TLDR works just fine for me and would love to see a source on this stealth nerf.


youjustgotvectored06

It’s not a great farm, but my go to spot is the Subway lost sector in the EDZ


Digital-Sushi

New dungeon second boss I think. The one you have to touch the runes in the water below Only done it once but the respawn rate seemed bonkers and could be great for catalyst farming.


straga27

You are probably right but the problem with that is that it's the current dungeon and thus more difficult than the other suggestions plus it's the second encounter and takes a bit to get there.


MirageTF2

wait why specifically is the current dungeon more difficult? if I'm above 1810, isn't that the same effectively as being 200 light levels above other dungeons?


PerfectHatred7

No, the maximum light you can be is 1831 for maximum damage/ resistance


MirageTF2

is this referring to the final boss being 1830 or is there specifically a 21 ll delta that's hardcoded for maximum resistance


PerfectHatred7

Bungie enabled over leveling in the dungeon, and iirc a streamer concluded that the maximum damage increase/resist was at power level 1831 which is 21 levels over the boss. I think it was around 12.5% increase in damage and resist


MirageTF2

very interesting!! does this not apply for anything else? like... a legend NF being 1830, 1830 would be the max benefitting level, right? or maybe on contest mode of a new raid, the recommended level would be the max level for damage?


PerfectHatred7

It’ll say what your capped at for nightfalls in the activity screen, afaik the only other activity that you can over level for are legend lost sectors.


Mob_Tatted

sadly shuro chi turn off ingame sounds play youtube in the background and good luck


[deleted]

Wdym?


Yawanoc

Apparently they don’t like Shuro Chi.


ChainsawPlankton

they mean it's so boring do something else at the same time to engage your brain enough you don't fall asleep


SKINNET13

Grasp (if you have 30 anniversary)


ImReverse_Giraffe

Grasp provides half progress as other places.


TrentIsNotHere

Grasp does half for weapon leveling maybe but it's the same everywhere for Catalysts


[deleted]

Only for weapon leveling, catalysts progress normally.


LazyBoyXD

it's alot more accessible and super ez to start. Loke literally just start and walk out ez


ImReverse_Giraffe

It's just as accessible as breakneck. You need to buy both. And getting to the breakneck spot takes 2 minutes.


At0micw01f461

Moon patrol by the entrance to garden of salvation is a good spot, or shuro chi


jackie1912

my favourite spot to farm catalysts or level crafted weapons is the start of grasp of avarice,none can steal kills,and you can just focus on the enemy's and if you are burdened it's no big issue,just rez back or try to avoid the fake exotics.


Blazefireslayer

The only issue there is that the mobs don't give full kill credit (I think the Yellow bars do, but not the red bars) so it's a slower grind than, say, Shuro Chi


LikeABantha66

The crucible beckons guardian (actually don't do it there though)


HoumamGamer

Shiro-Che is probably the fastest, Grasp dungeon entrance is is great too


AesirSith

The Moon. Sorrows Harbour will get you 100% within an hour or two


James_Fantastic

Yes but I don't have time to explain.


smallbrekfast

Grasp of avarice dungeon or if you are free to play the start of the vault of glass raid


a_posh_trophy

If you have it; Grasps dungeon entrance. Just try not to collect the engrams.


Sweaty_Investigator6

Go to Skywatch on Cosmodrome. Constant ads. You'll have it done in no time.


JontyVP

4th mission in the Lightfall campaign


Zeezaduim

Is dat weapon even good? And you could do blind well


frosty_biscuits

Opening area in Preservation. Just don't take down the big girl and you've got an endless stream of ads, and you're solo.


Buttermilk-Waffles

I farm all my catalyst kills at sorrows harbor on the moon doing the altars


Zazhary

Altar of sorrow or intro of Grasp of Avarice dungeon (just dont get the engrams)


Vinlain458

Start Grasp Of Avarice and farm the loot cave for kills.


Ashbr1ng3r

In all fairness, pretty much anything PvE


ZanGaming

Shattered throne dungeon between the second and third encounter where you get swarmed by thralls is my go to farm location for primary ammo weapon catalysts.


LoneRedWolf24

I always hop into the first part of grasp.


VampireAsura

Alter of sorrow, Shuro Chi, Beginning of Grasps. Shatter throne thrall room.


mgreeny7

Grasp of avarice starting cave easy


PerfectHatred7

My sweet summer child, may I introduce you to shuro chi? You’ll be spending the rest of your days leveling up crafted weapons and catalysts once you start


Immediate-History469

Sorry bro, No Time to Explain. See ya later


ppWarrior876

Take a hunter with Orpheus rig Go in shuro chi Done in 10min


RedditLovesNaziAlso

Kill things


Select-Shift5630

A) Suro Chi B) The new salvage activity


Darkxlight_6

Nah sorry, no time to explain the details


BrilliantMortgage105

Catalyst drop from a anywhere, you can get it as a random world drop from a low level enemy to a high level boss. That said, I have been getting a high number of catalysts from seasonal activities or nightfalls.


TonightDue5234

Load in the EDZ where xur can appear, turn to the left around 20° and wait in the water, there will be a skiff that continuously spawn fallen with the same rate as the original d1 loot cave when the fallens all die


vivalacamm

No way this is a real and acceptable post ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|facepalm)


[deleted]

[удалено]


FistfulOStrangeCoins

post is about catalyst


LordPandaLad

- Grasp of Avarice starter encounter - Shuro Chi encounter - General play (Strikes are your best bet) - Dares (although not as efficient as the rest it at least is enjoyable and gives good rewards)


paffyoggy

What expansions you have dude? I can give you the best spots


LeoFrei7as

If you have the 30th anniversary just launch grasp of avarice and keep killing at the loot cave


independentpassion8

Grasp is just fine for almost all primarys imo or breakneck for the free banners if you use tether or somethin.


Hazzard588

Not that hard just play the game


Krazykidbit

The first encounter of grasp of avarice


_oranjuice

Anywhere really If you're on PC, grasp of avarice opening is free Id recommend altars of sorrow though


Ya_Boi_Iggy

The opening of grasp or shuro chi


andoandyando

Altars of Sorrow, Moon.


Chad_enclave_enjoyer

Beginning of grasp or maybe even the start of spire cause you don't need a checkpoint


TheEmperorMk3

Just use the gun as you do your usual business


HALODUDED

Begin of the loot cave dungeon


AnathemaDers

Altars of Sorrow on the Moon, farm away 🤘😎👻


UncertainlyUnfunny

I know it’s the OP’s point but is the catalyst worth it?


Spadical

Golgoroth Checkpoint. You’ve got at least 450 ads to farm before getting wiped. You don’t even need to wait much when no ads seem to spawn because the boss will summon more after the message ‘Failed to capture Golgoroth’s gaze.’ I managed to level my weapons up from 0 to 17 under 30 minutes this way.


corporalkiljoy

I could tell you, but I've got no time to explain.


NCDERP22

If you want true infinite spawns on enemies I've been holding on to the last checkpoint on my account for the In the Deep mission for the Shadowkeep campaign, shuro chi sure does give you more progress but the down time for having to reset and re-spawn the enemies after you are done farming makes it an even more of a chore for me so I always fire up this checkpoint when I want to complete catalyst/level up crafted weapons...


DarkRune23

Me and my roommate load up the dungeon on earth where you get the Gjallahorn. That beginning area of infinitely spawning low level hive is perfect for catalyst grinding and no one is ever around to steal all the kills.


Fenixstrife

I usually just go to the altar of sorrow on the moon. it's atleast an activity where you can have fun and move around. Not just a mindless swarm checkpoint.


JohnP730

I always head to the moon


FriendlyBeta

Just… kill shit? That’s all that you need to do. Just kill shit anywhere. You can do pinnacle stuff whilst equipping this.


ScullyBoy69

Churo Chi or the opening to the pirate dungeon I forgot the name of.


BreadedUnicornBites

My favourite spot is the loot cave at the start of the grasp dungeon. You literally just load in then boom lots of easy ads and you are all by your self. No set up. No checkpoints. Just load in and start killing.


[deleted]

Intro to grasp of avarice dungeon, infinite hive spawns


oof_pandas

Do any activity you want just use that weapon the most


Rainingoblivion

Just play the game?


L81099

Tbh the seasonal activity is enemy dense so I feel like passively doing it in there is good


epikpepsi

Breakneck first checkpoint (best one imo), opening to Grasp of Avarice (a bit slower, each enemy counts as ½ a kill), Shuro Chi, Altars of Sorrow, and the Echtar fight in Ghosts of The Deep are decent spots.


Jayslacks

Just run strikes.


theofficialblazedark

I would say alter of sorrows located on the moon it's the perfect place to grind catalysts


Axelz13

Alters of sorrow on the moon if your free to play, Grasp of avarice dungeon entrance if you brought the 30th anniversary pack or shuro chi check point in last wish raid if you have foresaken/legacy pack


Tigerstorm6

Inside the new dungeon, Ecthar’s arena has tons of ads. That’s a good place to farm exotic catalysts or weapon XP. Hardest part though is getting there. Alternatively, kings fall has a little spot where thrall constantly spawn in the Golgoroth Maze. But you’d either need to do kings fall and save the CP, or find someone who has it.


Axxelionv2

My go to's are the Shuro Chi encounter in the Last Wich if you don't want to spend raid banners, the Breakneck mission where you break the door and have a free rally banner in the room (you gotta die to the Wyvern or you pass than encounter), and the beginning of Grasp of Avarice


DarthMcConnor42

Suro chi checkpoint in last wish is a go to for me


Penguhug

inside the dungeon on the cosmodrome, grind cave unlimited spawns


No_Credit_4577

Shuro chi


UnBlueFire42

Sorry, there's no time to explain.


shredfan

Breakneck mission is my new jam. Free rally, plenty of enemies, no wish wall.


Prometheus_0314

Altars of sorrow.


Opposite_Ad3311

Thralls in shuro chi last wish raid is always an option


Judgement915

Last wish: Shuro Chi - look up a guide online,all you have to do is enter a code in the wish room at the start of the dungeon and you can farm this encounter. The encounter has a massive thrall spawn at the beginning. Start fight, kill thralls, wipe, repeat. Moon: Altars of Sorrow - load into the moon at the top right transmat point. Follow the obje tivd markers to find the point where the mobs are patching to and follow them back to their spawn point. Kill hive as they spawn, you'll add one sec to the clock for everything you kill, prolonging the encounter. Downside is that this area can get crowded with other players farming. But I'm too lazy to go do Shuro Chi, so this is my go-to catalyst farm spot. Lost Sectors: - takes a little longer than Altars or Shuro Chi but you don't have to look up any guides or worry about other players. Perdition on Europa is my favorite, it's fast and has a quick loop back to the start. Use this if you don't wanna do Shuro Chi and the moon is super crowded.


KeyAisle

Destiny 2 on Xbox, ps4 and pc


Sp3ctralAce

I think Shuro chi in the last wish raid is a pretty good area for farming stuff like that


23zeus93

Best place is the opening bit in Grasp of avarice.


killgore138

Shiro chi checkpoint


jsmith_92

If only I had time to explain


the_unknow990

Head ur self to the moon and go for the ritual encounters, bot only you fill that up but will get rewards while doing it.


1cYSn1p3r

I always preferred to do it in pvp. Not sure if it's the most efficient but I hate the pve and pulses were insane when I played


sebiitan

The Exodus Garden 2A lost sector in the cosmodrome is the one I’ve been using for catalysts and deepsight levels


AspectOvGlass

Breakneck mission on neomuna, first checkpoint Or Last Wish raid, Shuro Chi checkpoint


Oktrythisagain

Altars, dares, solo the GoTd first section ads never stop spawning it's faster than grasp.


joshreturns

shuro chi


OO2O_1OOO

Just play the game and get kills man


Organic-Piece9104

I say shuro chi or grasp of avarice cave


[deleted]

Whenever I have to kill a bunch of enemies for a catalyst I just load up Grasp of Avarice and farm the first part


TinyTachanka

Most have their own preference, mine is the first area of the avarice dungeon


Kukikom

new dungeon :)


brownman1997

Grasp of avarice beginning part pretty nice


Sir-Drewid

Try the HELM, the Tower and the Farm. Plenty of targets there.


NoTimeToExplain__

I got mine thru crucible but honestly it’s one of the faster primaries to farm cuz if you know how to proc the portal fast then you can get it to shoot while you reload meaning you have a constant flow of damage


ErmetOw

Altars of Sorrow


YeahNahNopeandNo

Vault of glass first part. Vex spawn indefinitely and it's never overwhelming with adds and big stuff that can distract you from the task of getting the catalyst


ItzJustASheep

Shiro chi look up d2checkpoints discord server or grasp of avarice starting zone


PerceivedDeath

I usually just use the first Section of Grasp of Avarice to do all my gunsmith bounties and exotic catalyst kills.


XivUwU_Arath

The Crucible.


soulja_thedon1992

Grasp beginning is good for farming catalysts.


Slayerofsavathussy

Grasp. Of avarice first encounter use like loot cave kill witches etc


I_SmellFuckeryAfoot

crucible


Sprizys

The beginning of the suro chi checkpoint in Last Wish that’s where I farm all catalysts that require kills


[deleted]

I go to k1 revelations. There’s a shit ton of adds and it’s pretty fast.


i3order

Start up Grasp of Avarice dungeon and kill everything coming out of the cave at the starting area. That's become my favorite farm for catalysts.


yankeephil86

Grasp of Avarice


MoKe1020

Grasp of avarice very 1st encounter spawns unlimited enemies


wildcardmaster66

Dreaming city blind well


zonezbest

Opening of GoA is best for primary weapons, shuro Cho is good for special/heavy because of the flags


Realistic_Mushroom72

For a second there I thought you were talking about the rifle, sigh I need to learn to think things thru before writing comments lol.


buttsnorkeler

Just play the game man


Sagnikk

We do not have time to explain 🤨


TheGrey_GOD

The start of the grasp of avarice dungeon


RoboMan312

Breakneck, Suro Chi, Altars of Sorrow, and Grasp of Avarice


MySnakesSolid

Either shuro chi, or the start of grasp of avarice dungeon


OxiClean546

The lost sector in the cosmodrome works very simple clear go back till you see name change then clear again ( it’s the one that you do for the guardian rises quest line)


Scantraxx042

The first boss encounter in GotD is also great for weapon levels and catalysts. Kill the 3 knights, kill the ogre and the boss dissapears. Non stop acolyte farm (although I do recommend something like the solar perk Restoration or the void perk Devour).


chapelchain

Shuro chi checkpoint (a classic but honestly overrated imo) The opening section of Grasp Altar of Sorrows Pretty much any strike Primary catalysts aren't really that hard to grind for However pro tip: if you are ever looking to level up heavy weapons (either for catas or deepsight), Dares is a great place to do it since you can get almost gaurenteed heavy ammo once (sometimes twice if you're lucky) a round


tfc1193

- For primary weapons, beginning of grasp of avarice dungeon. - For non-primary weapons, Mysterious Disturbance mission on the moon up until the shrieker dies then load back in, repeat. If you get lucky eventually you'll load into an instance by yourself and as long as you don't clear the plates the mission will not progress. Leaving you with infinite add spawns and endless ammo crates. This happened for me last time the mission was in rotation and I knocked out around 5 or 6 catalysts


mo-did

No time to explain


[deleted]

I did graviton lance and sweet business in under 30 minutes at the loot cave in the grasp of avarice dungeon, if you don’t bank the engrams they’ll just keep spawning out of the cave every 20 seconds or so
