Orokin Catalyst

"Orokin modification technology used to super-charge weaponry."

- In-Game Description

The Orokin Catalyst is an item used to supercharge Weapons, including those for Archwings or Sentinels, doubling their mod capacity.

Acquisition
They can either be bought for 20 or assembled in the Foundry after finding its respective blueprint. These blueprints can be obtained one of five ways: An Orokin Catalyst blueprint may also be obtained by completing the Stolen Dreams quest.
 * 1) From alert missions, Gift Of The Lotus alerts in particular.
 * 2) From invasion battle pay.
 * 3) As a potential Daily Tribute.
 * 4) As a Tactical Alert reward.
 * 5) As a reward for completing a Sortie.

After being built, the blueprint disappears, requiring that it must be obtained again to build another Orokin Catalyst.

Installing an Orokin Catalyst
To install an Orokin Catalyst on a weapon, go to your Arsenal, and select Upgrade. From there, click the Actions button located just below your mod list and select Upgrade.

How it works
An applied Orokin Catalyst will double the mod capacity of a weapon. This increases the total power that can be consumed by mods, but not the number of mod slots. A rank 1 weapon with a Catalyst installed will have a capacity of 2, which will increase to 60 at rank 30. Unlike Forma, Catalysts can only be applied to a weapon once.

It does not matter when the catalyst is installed; the capacity of a weapon with a Catalyst installed will always be double its rank.
