Destiny 2 No Time to Explain + Catalyst: How to get them

No Time to Explain is a Kinetic Exotic pulse rifle from the Beyond Light expansion. Despite receiving a few nerfs to prevent it from routinely dominating the Crucible, it is still one of the best PvP weapons in the game.

For that reason alone, all Guardians should have this Pulse rifle in their vaults, just in case… Today, we cover how powerful this Exotic Pulse rifle is and tell you how to get both the weapon and the catalyst.

How Good is No Time to Explain

In spite of receiving several nerfs, No Time to Explain is still a PvP powerhouse. It features the following perks:

• Rewind Again: Precision shots and shots against combatants slowed or frozen by Stasis will return to the magazine.
• Feeding Frenzy: Each rapid kill with this weapon progressively increases reload speed for a short time.

An exceptional pick in PvP (and a fun one in PvE), No Time to Explain’s ability to provide you with an extra set of bullets continues to be helpful in most areas of the game.
