Destiny 2: How To Get Tarrabah & Catalyst (2026)

The Tarrabah is an Exotic Submachine Gun that grows more dangerous the longer it stays in the fight, building strength through constant pressure and sustained combat.

Instead of relying on short bursts or careful pacing, it rewards staying in the action and keeping enemies within reach at all times.

As it builds charge through damage, it eventually reaches a breaking point where its performance shifts into something far more aggressive and overwhelming.

How To Get Tarrabah?

Tarrabah is no longer tied to its original raid completion from the Crown of Sorrows, where it was once obtained as a raid-exclusive reward.

It can now be purchased directly from the Monument to Lost Lights in the Exotic Archive located in the Tower using rare Exotic materials.

The following are needed to purchase Tarrabah:

  • Exotic Cipher (1)
  • Glimmer (150,000)

Intrinsic Traits

Ravenous Beast

Tarrabah stores energy as you deal and receive damage, gradually building up a charge that can be unleashed when fully ready.

Once activated, Ravenous Beast significantly boosts fire rate, damage output, reload speed, and movement speed, transforming the weapon into a high-pressure close-range shredder.

Maintaining damage output while active helps extend its effectiveness, making it especially strong in fights where constant engagement keeps the momentum going.

Tarrabah Catalyst

Ambitious Assassin

The Tarrabah Catalyst grants Ambitious Assassin, allowing rapid kills to overflow the magazine before reloading and carry extra rounds into fights.

This improves sustained uptime by letting Tarrabah build a larger magazine after chaining kills, making it easier to maintain pressure in longer engagements.

How To Get Tarrabah Catalyst?

The Tarrabah Catalyst is obtained as a reward from completing Vanguard Ops, Crucible, or Gambit, or from Exotic Orders in the Seasonal Hub.

Verdict

Tarrabah rewards constant aggression, where staying in combat allows you to steadily build and maintain its charged state.

Once activated, Ravenous Beast turns it into a close-range shredder with extreme fire rate and boosted damage that can overwhelm grouped enemies.

Its strength comes from momentum, the longer you keep fighting without hesitation, the more value you get out of its sustained empowered state.
