How to Unlock The Catalyst Exotic Mask in The Division 2

You can get the Catalyst Exotic mask by repeatedly completing the last mission of the Battle For Brooklyn DLC. The Battle For Brooklyn expansion is a paid DLC that must be installed with the Brooklyn area found at the top of the Washington D.C. map.

The final mission of the DLC is called Army Terminal, which ends with players fighting a Marauder UAV while trying to take down a zeppelin. The Catalyst mask can drop from completing the mission, but it is not a guaranteed reward.

However, playing Army Terminal on higher difficulties will increase the chance of the Catalyst drop. So, it is best to play on the Heroic difficulty alongside a team for the best chance to unlock the Exotic mask.

  • Each stack grants +2% Weapon Damage and +2% Status Effect.
  • For each enemy within 15 meters that is affected by a status effect, it grants one stack/sec. Receiving status effects grants two stacks/sec. Stacks decay at 1 stack/sec after five seconds if no enemies or you are affected by status effects.
