How to get all Wish-Keeper catalysts in Destiny 2

If we had a nickel for every time an Exotic bow from the Dreaming City had "Wish" in its name...

Wish-Keeper might be the most striking bow in Destiny 2 since its sibling, Wish-Ender. Its appeal doesn’t stop at looks, though: This craftable Exotic bow is available from the Starcrossed Exotic mission, and it pairs beauty with damage and a lot of Strand utility.

Wish-Keeper is Season of the Wish‘s craftable Exotic, echoing Revision Zero and Vexcalibur. Like its predecessors, players can unlock new catalysts and new intrinsic upgrades each week by engaging with the season’s Exotic mission. Each catalyst has its effect, but they all make Wish-Keeper a better weapon.

Here are all of Wish-Keeper’s catalysts in Destiny 2, what they do, and how you can unlock them by playing.

How to get all Wish-Keeper Catalysts in Destiny 2

Wish-Keeper’s catalysts will be available through a series of minor quests, as seen in Destiny 2 database light.gg. The Constellation quests will ask players to find a Celestial Anomaly somewhere in the Sol system, with new weeks bringing more to chase.

Though the first catalyst was hidden in the Starcrossed mission, the second one was concealed in the Dreaming City. It seems like a natural choice given the destination’s importance to the lore this season, and the home of the Awoken may find itself with more secrets in the following weeks.

The first catalyst, Enduring Snare Refit, became available after week five, with the remaining catalysts dropping on weeks six, seven, and eight. Based on those previous examples, you can also obtain multiple catalysts in the same week if the time-gate on them has lifted. Here are all of their effects.

Unlike Revision Zero and Vexcalibur, two of Wish-Keeper’s catalysts improve the weapon’s effects instead of giving it direct perks. This helps players lean more toward what makes Wish-Keeper Exotic instead of transplanting traits into it (though we’ll admit Hatchling is tempting).

Here are all the catalysts listed in the Enclave:

  • Enduring Snare Refit: Snareweaver traps last longer.
  • Multi-Threaded Snare Refit: Snareweaver traps can suspend more targets.
  • Vorpal Weapon Refit: Grants Vorpal Weapon (“Increased damage against bosses, vehicles, and Guardians with their Super active”).
  • Hatchling Refit: Grants Hatchling to Wish-Keeper (“Precision final blows or rapidly defeating targets with a non-precision weapon spawns a Threadling at the target’s location”).

The two existing perks, Vorpal Weapon and Hatchling, work well with the bow’s general utility. Vorpal Weapon can make it even better against Champions, giving it a huge bump in effectiveness in higher-end content. Hatchling can also work well since getting kills won’t be as much of an issue with Wish-Keeper due to its Exotic buff against red-bar enemies.

That said, enhancing the flavor and uniqueness of Wish-Keeper’s effects can also make great catalyst choices. We’ll have to wait until all four catalysts are out to make a decision, but all of them feel like great additions to the weapon.

How to improve Wish-Keeper’s Snareweaver Intrinsic

Though you get a built Wish-Keeper at the end of Starcrossed, the game will let you improve its Snareweaver Intrinsic. Each grants you a boost to stability, handling, and reload speed, culminating at Snareweaver IV.

To upgrade your Snareweaver intrinsic, find the secret chests in Starcrossed. The first secret chest just gives you an Undying weapon, but subsequent chests will drop upgrades to your Exotic bow. While the catalysts require you to complete Starcrossed on Legend, you can upgrade your intrinsics by finding the chests on the base version of the mission.
