How to get the Hierarchy of Needs catalyst in Destiny 2

The Hierarchy of Needs Exotic bow was one of the more unique weapons when it released, and its catalyst was the icing on the cake. With it, you can fire as fast as Lord of the Ring‘s Legolas and with the same Elvish precision—no accuracy required.

Hierarchy of Needs’ intrinsic effect lets you charge up a Guidance Ring. Shooting an arrow through that ring makes it home on your targets, splitting into multiple projectiles along the way. The aim assist is extremely generous, and if that wasn’t enough, the bow got a spicy buff in The Edge of Fate, extending that benefit to all arrows that pass through the ring.

This gives Hierarchy of Needs a quasi-Gjallarhorn quality, supporting bow users on a squad. This Exotic gets a little extra love whenever bows are in fashion, such as during Arms Week events or favorable artifacts. Here’s where you can get its catalyst to crank this bow up a notch.

What does the Hierarchy of Needs catalyst do in Destiny 2?

The Hierarchy of Needs catalyst lets you ramp up the onslaught. With it, deploying a Guidance Ring (or hitting a target through one) improves your draw time and reload speed, so you can continue firing more quickly.

In practice, you’re building faster Guidance Ring stacks, dealing more damage, and creating even more seeker arrows. The Edge of Fate buff made this Exotic only require three hits for a Guidance Ring, down from six, so the catalyst is slightly less necessary.

Still, this Exotic helps out all Legendary bows in your team, so it’s particularly useful in certain scenarios. Based on Bungie’s wording, this can include heavy crossbows such as A Good Shout or Opaque Hourglass, so Hunters with Tether can be particularly happy with it.

The Hierarchy of Needs catalyst drops when you complete the Master Version of Spire of the Watcher. Clearing the entire dungeon may not be necessary, so you can likely get away with just a boss checkpoint.

Since the sandbox has changed considerably since the dungeon’s release, taking the challenge now is considerably easier than it was a few years ago. You likely need the weapon to drop first before you can get the catalyst, and unlike more recent dungeons, there’s no associated quest (Sundered Doctrine) or attunement (Equilibrium).

If you don’t have Hierarchy of Needs, Spire of the Watcher (and other pre-Renegades dungeons) are farmable, including their Exotics. Cross your fingers when you run them, because there’s always a chance to grab the associated Exotic when taking down the last boss.

The need for Magnetic Accelerators have certainly increased a level or two ever since the Trophy Display project went live in ARC Raiders.

The new project, part of the Headwinds update, requires you to complete five different stages of tasks to get some amazing rewards. Let’s look at how you can find this Epic item from your grind in the wasteland.

Best locations for Magnetic Accelerators in ARC Raiders

Like every crafting material in ARC Raiders, there’s no definite location for the Magnetic Accelerators. However, it’s an Epic-tier loot. While Epic-tier loot can spawn anywhere, you’re expected to find it more in red-colored zones on every map.

One of my favorite locations is the Village POI in Blue Gate. This location has a locked room, and I have received at least three Magnetic Accelerators in the past, and one since the Headwinds update went live. Their exact location inside the locked room is different, so you’ll want to go through every bit of the container.

Another strange, but great spot, appears to be the room right by the elevator at the Testing Annex location on Dam Battlegrounds. This room has three lootable containers, and I have found three Magnetic Accelerators from this room. It’s usually unlocked, but expect to find ARCs since there’s a nearby elevator.

As the Magnetic Accelerator is an Epic-tier loot, you can also play on the maps when the following modifiers are active.

• Harvester
• Matriarch
• Electromagnetic Storm

Playing the Night Raids will also raise your chances of finding a Magnetic Accelerator. However, there will be more hazards that you need to watch out for on your raids.

How to craft Magnetic Accelerators in ARC Raiders

If your luck is poor, you can directly craft Magnetic Accelerators. You’ll need a level 3 Refiner for that. Reaching this point is going to take time (especially if you’re a beginner).

Once you have a level 3 Refiner, you’ll going to need the following materials.

• Two Advanced Mechanical Components
• Two ARC Motion Cores

How to use Magnetic Accelerators in ARC Raiders

You’re going to need at least 10 Magnetic Accelerators to submit to the Trophy Display project. You’ll need them to complete stage 4 of the project. Doing so will get you five Wolfpack grenades, which are immensely useful. You’re also going to come one step closer to finishing the whole project and unlocking the completionist rewards.
