With Destiny 2’s release of retroactive catalysts for its catalog of old Exotic weapons in recent years, players have been dreaming of finally getting one for one specific auto rifle. The Monte Carlo has been a powerful weapon since launch, but its one great failing—that the bayonet under its barrel is tragically unusable—has never been addressed.
That’s about to change in season 22, though, according to information released today via a weapons preview blog ahead of the launch next week. Not only is Monte Carlo finally getting a catalyst, but it’s also the exact catalyst players were hoping for that makes the gun’s bayonet functional. According to Bungie, it’s “mechanically the most complex” catalyst the devs have ever done but will at last allow Guardians to skewer their opponents for devastating melee damage.
