microcosm destiny 2

"Microcosm" is an Exotic Catalyst in Destiny 2 for the Tessellation Exotic Fusion Rifle, introduced in The Final Shape expansion. Here's what you need to know: Microcosm Catalyst Overview Unlock Requirement: Acquired by completing the "Stargazer" mission (post-campaign) in The Final Shape. Effect: - Grants the "Astral Wind" perk: - Final blows with Tessellation grant 1 stack of Astral Wind (max 10 stacks). - At max stacks, your next grenade final blow creates a large elemental explosion matching your subclass (e.g., Solar, Void, etc.). - Stacks persist until the explosion triggers. How to Use It Effectively Synergy: Pairs well with grenade-focused builds (e.g., Warlocks Voidwalker or Titans Sunbreaker). Playstyle: Use Tessellation for ad-clear to build stacks, then finish with a grenade for a massive AoE burst. Elemental Matching: The explosion adapts to your subclass, so optimize for burns or debuffs (e.g., Volatile Rounds, Scorch). Acquisition Steps Complete The Final Shape campaign. Finish the post-campaign quest "Stargazer" (given by the Pale Heart vendor). The catalyst drops automatically upon mission completion. Tips Tessellations intrinsic perk ("The Fundamentals") lets it shift elements to match your subclass, enhancing synergy with Microcosm. Try combining with armor mods like Firepower or Grenade Kickstart for faster uptime. This catalyst turns Tessellation into a grenade-enhancing powerhouse, ideal for endgame add-clear.
