Destiny 2 Whirling Ovation Catalyst Boosting FAQ
What is Whirling Ovation in Destiny 2?
Whirling Ovation is an Exotic Strand Rocket Launcher from The Desert Perpetual raid that fires charged projectiles with a delayed Solar payload. It uses a charge-to-fire mechanic, offering high burst damage and strong synergy with weapon-damage builds and dual-element effects.
How do I get Whirling Ovation in Destiny 2?
Whirling Ovation drops from the final boss of The Desert Perpetual raid as a rare Exotic reward, with one drop chance per character per week. Clearing the raid during Contest Mode or completing specific raid Triumphs increases or guarantees your drop chance.
What is the Whirling Ovation Catalyst?
The Whirling Ovation Catalyst is an Exotic upgrade that adds the Filled Determination trait. With it, fully charged shots over-penetrate weaker enemies and create a delayed Solar explosion that leaves a brief scorching field, greatly improving add control and safety when enemies push in front of your target.
How do I get the Whirling Ovation Catalyst?
The catalyst is tied to the Epic Desert Perpetual raid and the raid’s gear attunement system. After unlocking Desert Perpetual Gear Attunement and attuning Whirling Ovation, you can obtain the catalyst as a drop from Epic raid encounters, with a guaranteed drop if you complete the Epic raid during Contest Mode.
Do I need to complete quests before farming the catalyst?
Yes. You must own Edge of Fate, have completed the raid exotic unlock path, and finish quests like Map and Territory (and related raid-attunement quests) that unlock Desert Perpetual Gear Attunement at the appropriate vendor. Without attunement, you cannot properly target the Whirling Ovation Catalyst.
