Changes how Pulverize plays: Pulverize Augment: Secondary Fire to launch Grendel in your aim direction.
Higher ranks usually improve the key magnitude or duration of the augment.

Equip Catapult when that change is part of your standard Grendel loop.
Skip it for generalist builds if capacity is tighter on survivability or parkour mods.

Mission / Context	Rating	Why
Steel Path Survival / Defense / Disruption	Strong	Dense missions are where most Grendel augments prove whether they belong in the build.
Mobile Defense / Excavation	Situational	Worth it if the augment helps hold or clear the objective faster.
Casual Star-Chart Farms	Situational	Often skippable when base abilities already overkill the content.

Read the max-rank text — Catapult often only feels complete at rank 3.
Try one mission with and without it on Grendel before locking the slot.
If you Helminth over Pulverize, this augment usually becomes irrelevant on that loadout.
