===Catalyst===
The catalyst for Cloudstrike can be found as a random drop from [[strikes]] as well as [[Crucible]] and [[Gambit]] matches. To unlock its upgrade, the player must kill 400 enemies with Cloudstrike. Once unlocked, the catalyst increases Cloudstrike's handling by 25 and gives it the '''Triple Tap''' perk.

==Gameplay==
Cloudstrike summons a lightning strike when you kill an enemy with a precision shot. This can be especially useful in Crucible since you can take out two or more enemies with one bullet, as demonstrated in the Exotic weapons trailer.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HxNYAtoKPo4&feature=emb_title '''destinythegame'''-'''Destiny 2: Beyond Light – Weapons and Gear Trailer''']</ref> Lightning strikes are also summoned if landing 3 precision shots within 2.5 seconds. This can lead to the quick destruction of high health targets, such as Champions, as well as any surrounding enemies. The easier to hit a crit spot is, the more rewarding Cloudstrike becomes, as the player can rattle out easier repeated crits to summon as much lightning as possible.

** Jokes regarding the similarity of the name began to circulate during the [[wikipedia:2024 CrowdStrike incident|worldwide IT outage]] caused by a faulty CrowdStrike driver update.
