Why add an useless catalyst to Arbalest?

Arbalest has recently gotten its own catalyst in the 30th Anniversary update which provides the weapon the perk "Genesis", increases the magazine to 6, and bumps the Handling to 46. The "Genesis" perk says: Breaking a combatant's shield with this weapon fills its magazine from reserves. Energy weapons regenerate ammo on hit when matching the damage type to the combatant's shield. Why add this to a kinetic weapon? none of the perks works in Arbalest because is a [b]kinetic[/b] weapon... I'm dumbfounded about this, the only thing works here is: add an extra "bullet" & add a little of handling to the weapon.

  • The first part does, notice how it's only the second bit that refers to energy weapons. I mean arbalests whole deal is shield breaking.

  • Hey, I ain’t complaining. I’ve been maining arby since the first day of this season when I learned it was getting anti barrier. Could the catalyst be better? Yeah. But is it fine where it is? Too me, yes.
