Destiny 2 Tessellation + Catalyst: How to get them

Tessellation is a new Exotic fusion rifle given to those who pre-ordered The Final Shape Deluxe Edition. These days, you’ll need to purchase The Final Shape + Annual Pass to acquire it.

With its ability to deal Stasis or Strand damage, Tessellation is one of the few Energy weapons able to deal Strand damage. That alone makes it special. This guide covers how powerful this fusion rifle is and explains how to get both the weapon and its catalyst.

The catalyst adds the following Exotic Perks:

• Property: Unavoidable: Targets near the blast of Property: Irreducible are [afflicted|burdened|cursed] with an elemental effect matching your equipped grenade’s damage type.

Once you have obtained the catalyst, you’ll need 400 weapon kills to unlock it. Using typical farming methods such as the Shuro Chi Wish or the opening section of Grasp of Avarice will speed things along.

How good is Tessellation?

Tesselation features the following Exotic Perks:

• Property: Undecidable: This [weapon] adapts its damage type to match your equipped subclass. Final blows grant grenade energy.
• Property: Irreducible: Consume your grenade to load a large [projectile] that generates an elemental explosion on impact.

Tessellation is a unique weapon that focuses on using your Grenade ability to grant an empowered explosive shot that deals considerable damage. However, many will argue that it isn’t worth sacrificing your grenade for.
