Destiny 2 Sunshot Catalyst: Loose Change Path

The Sunshot Catalyst socket on Sunshot tells you to open Exotic catalysts in Triumphs for the drop location.

The empty socket text is the official line. Playlist names on older pages still circulate. Those pages list Strikes, Crucible, Gambit, and Vanguard Ops as the room.

Portal activities sit in that same playlist family after the ritual rename. Triumphs is the check that stays current when the playlist name moves.

Open Collections and look at Sunshot before you farm. If Loose Change is already on the weapon, the drop is done and only the unlock remains.

Insert the catalyst at the gunsmith once you own the item. The Upgrade Masterwork plug then tracks the kill work.

LFCarry's Sunshot catalyst row is $40 on the live basic checkout. The Anarchy catalyst sibling sits at $38. A kill-only finish can ride the $12 custom farming row when you already hold the item.

Loose Change is the catalyst perk. Applying an elemental debuff to a target increases this weapon's reload speed, aim assist, and movement while aiming down sights for a short duration.

Update 9.7.0 added Loose Change on top of the catalyst stat bump. The Upgrade Masterwork plug still grants +30 Range and +20 Stability.

Sunshot already has Sun Blast without the catalyst. Targets defeated with Sunshot explode in Solar energy, scorching other nearby targets.

Loose Change wants an elemental debuff on the target. Scorch from Sun Blast can be that debuff. Then the gun reloads faster and aims cleaner for a short window.

The perk is PvE-facing. The explosion wants a combatant to detonate. The gun's base trait still works in the Crucible.

You insert the catalyst at the gunsmith once you own it. Then the 500-kill and 100 Sun Blast objectives appear on Sunshot.

Sunshot is a Year 1 Solar hand cannon. The account does not need a paid expansion for the gun itself.

The gun can arrive as a random Exotic drop, from Xûr, or from a Fated Engram. Xûr's Fated Engram fills an Exotic you do not already own.

The catalyst is a separate item. Owning Sunshot does not grant Loose Change. Missing Sunshot blocks the unlock, because the kills have to land on that weapon.

Sunburn is the intrinsic. This weapon fires explosive rounds and highlights targets that take damage from Sunshot.

If you need the gun and the catalyst, say so in chat. The $40 row covers the catalyst. The gun itself is a drop or a Xûr walk unless you want those farmed too.

Open Collections before you buy. A Guardian who already holds Sunshot only needs the catalyst job.

Once the catalyst is inserted, the Upgrade Masterwork plug asks for 500 enemies defeated with Sunshot and 100 Sun Blast kills.

The plug text is: Defeat enemies using Sunshot and its Sun Blast capability to unlock this upgrade. Playlist combatants count. Destination combatants count.

A kill on the body tracker is an enemy defeated. A Sun Blast kill is a combatant the explosion finishes. Both bars sit on the same inspect screen.

Older pages still print 1000 Sun Blast kills. The live objective hash 3107076148 completes at 100.

The live $40 checkout is the catalyst job: drop plus unlock. If you already hold the item and only the bars remain, the $12 custom farming row is the closer fit.

Anarchy's catalyst is the closest sibling we sell. Same playlist-family shape. Different perk. Different gun.
