Catalysts Overhaul

Welcome Travelers to day four of the Continuing, 9 day, Extended Hype Week, Patch Spectacle*TM!

The Depths of Eterra update introduces new and improved catalysts for concentrating your energies on what matters - culling more enemies of Eterra! All catalysts are getting new 2D and 3D art, as well as new animations, and powerful implicit affixes to curate a wider variety of builds and create more competition within the weapon configurations. Check out some examples below!

It’s hard to see with the image quality and the visuals are very subtle, possibly too much so but it is possible to see the fingers in game. Here is a super closeup at stupid high resolution.

There is in fact more than one new catalyst not shown in this preview! The purpose of this post is to show some examples of the new direction for catalyst implicits (with some exciting examples), art styles, and the new rigging in game (so floaty). But there’s much more to discover once the patch drops

Nothing will automatically convert into a crystal skull and nothing stays the same as they are all new and there are more now than before.

Have no fear though as the builds will not be bricked by this.
