However, some Guardians report very different experiences. Some claim it made no difference for them whether they played heroic or Nightfall Strikes. The result remained the same – no catalyst. Others, however, claim that Strike catalysts drop even more frequently at lower high scores.
Be that as it may – according to official statements they are not bugged and can be obtained in the intended way – even if the chances are obviously very low.
What have your experiences been with the exotic catalysts from Strikes? Have you been lucky and received some already? Or are you still waiting for your first drop in a Strike?

For a long time, exotic catalysts, which Bungie claims drop in Strikes of Destiny 2, were considered a mystery. Until recently, the community was still looking for evidence of their existence. But they are real.
With the introduction of the revamped exotic weapons as part of the Warmind expansion, the hunt for the catalysts began. Many exotic firearms can now be upgraded to masterpiece status, granting them either stat boosts or additional perks.
The sources for the coveted catalysts vary from weapon to weapon. Some can be obtained from Crucible wins, others in raids, and others drop randomly from any enemies. However, the exotic catalysts, which according to official statements should randomly drop in Strikes against the toughest enemies, puzzled Guardians for a long time.
For the vast majority of Guardians, they simply would not drop in Strikes unlike other sources. The few self-proclaimed owners could mostly not provide clear evidence in the form of videos or screenshots of a Strike drop. The community even questioned the existence of the Strike catalysts and suspected a bug. However, Bungie and other players provided clarity.
Drop rate for catalysts in Strikes is not bugged
Numerous Guardians have completed up to 60-80 heroic Strikes without receiving a corresponding catalyst. They also had no success in Nightfall. The Reward Designer Daniel Auchenpaugh commented on this on Twitter.
While he may not be the first point of contact for this question, as far as he knows, there are no bugs in the drop rate of the catalysts.
Catalyst drops in video – After 87 Strikes!
There are finally videos and images of corresponding drops. For example, a Destiny fan posted a video on Twitter and Reddit showing the drop of a Strike catalyst. According to his words, this catalyst dropped only after an impressive 87 heroic Strikes – this week!
So they do exist. Only the drop chances seem to be extremely low. According to Community Manager dmg04, the chances can be increased by raising the challenge. With this remark in the tweet, he alludes to the various modifiers in the prestige version of the Nightfalls.
Be that as it may – according to official statements they are not bugged and can be obtained in the intended way – even if the chances are obviously very low.
