Before Monument of Triumph this catalyst raised 2 stats and did nothing else. The final content update gave it Supercharged Magazine on top of them. The catalysts of every other Exotic are in our Exotic catalysts guide.
What Supercharged Magazine does on Coldheart
Supercharged Magazine feeds the magazine, and it works only while you are amplified.
- While amplified: ammo moves from your reserves into the magazine over time, so the beam runs longer between reloads.
- In Speed Booster: sprint while amplified and you enter Speed Booster; ammo then regenerates faster and overflows the magazine.
With the catalyst masterworked, the rifle also gets +20 Stability and +20 Reload Speed.
The perk fits the frame of the gun. 
Cold Fusion deals more damage the longer the beam stays on a target, and 
Longest Winter makes Ionic Traces while the beam sits in that high-damage state. A magazine that refills itself keeps the beam on the target for longer.
Where the Coldheart catalyst drops
The catalyst is a random drop when you complete a Nightfall strike, so each Nightfall clear is a fresh chance at it. Until it drops, its entry in the Exotic catalysts section of Triumphs reads: found in strikes against the most challenging opponents.
Which strike runs as the Nightfall is on our weekly rotation page. The hardest Nightfall tier has its own Grandmaster Nightfall guide.
How to finish the Coldheart catalyst: 500 kills
The drop does not finish the catalyst by itself. The game files give it 2 objectives, and the upgrade comes after them.
- Insert the catalyst: open Coldheart and place the catalyst in its empty catalyst socket.
- Defeat 500 enemies: only kills with Coldheart count, and the counter shows on the catalyst entry in Triumphs.
- Upgrade to a Masterwork: at 500 kills the rifle can be upgraded, and Supercharged Magazine and the 2 stat bonuses turn on.
A weak enemy counts as much as a strong enemy, so an activity with large waves of enemies fills the counter quickest.

No Coldheart yet? How to get the rifle
Coldheart has no quest of its own. Its Collections entry names Exotic engrams and extremely rare world drops as the source.
Exotic Engrams: decode them with Master Rahool in the Tower; the rifle is in the engram pool.- World drops: extremely rare, so plan on engrams.
The catalyst goes into Coldheart and counts kills made with it, so you need the rifle to use it. Where the engrams drop is in our Exotic Engram farm guide.
How a Pro gets the Coldheart catalyst for you
A Pro plays strikes on your account until the catalyst drops. Work starts within 1 to 2 hours of checkout.
- Rifle needed: the order needs Coldheart in your Collections; without it, add the rifle to the order.
- Finished for you: pick the masterwork option and the Pro completes the catalyst as well.
- Drops stay yours: gear and resources found during the order remain on your account.
- Live view: a stream of the run can be added.
Every option is on the Coldheart catalyst order page. Unsure which options you need? Ask in the chat on this page.
