A Pro runs Lost Sectors until the catalyst drops. The 300 kills for the masterwork are an option on the same page.

What the Telesto catalyst does

The catalyst gives Telesto 2 perks.

  • Deeper Pockets. The magazine grows from 4 to 7 rounds. The ammo reserves grow as well.
  • Harbinger Seethe. Trigger Harbinger's Pulse 3 times. Then press the alternate weapon action. Your next direct hit calls down a rain of Telesto bolts.

Harbinger's Pulse is the rifle's own trait. Multikills with Void damage reload Telesto from reserves. Each trigger counts toward Harbinger Seethe.

Unplanned Reprieve is the intrinsic. Fusion projectiles attach to targets. Then they detonate with a delayed Void blast.

Our exotic catalyst list explains how every other Exotic gets its catalyst. Where Telesto ranks among the Exotics is on our Exotic weapons tier list.

How to finish the 300 catalyst kills

Socket the catalyst into Telesto before your 1st kill. From then on, each combatant Telesto defeats adds 1 to the count of 300.

  • Pick dense rooms. Packs of weak enemies give the most kills per volley.
  • Chain Void multikills. Harbinger's Pulse reloads Telesto from reserves, so the next volley is ready.
  • Carry special ammo. Telesto is a special-ammo fusion rifle. Pick up every special brick you see.

A Pro can run the 300 kills for you. The masterwork is an option on the catalyst page.

See the catalyst farm →A Pro farms the Telesto catalyst on your account. The 300 kills can come with it.

Don't own Telesto yet?

Telesto is an Exotic Void fusion rifle. It comes from Exotic engrams and from rare world drops.

Xûr's Strange Gear Offers can carry the rifle itself, for Strange Coins. The Exotic Archive at the Tower does not sell Telesto.

A Pro can farm Exotic engrams on your account. Telesto is one of the Exotics those engrams can hold.

Want an Exotic you can buy outright at the Exotic Archive? See how to get Sleeper Simulant.
