'''Catalyst''' is a mission in [[Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas]], given to [[protagonist]] [[Carl Johnson]] by fellow [[Grove Street Families]] member [[Ryder]] from his [[Ryder's House|home]] in the [[Grove Street]] cul-de-sac in the [[Ganton]] district of [[Los Santos in GTA III Era|Los Santos]], [[San Andreas in GTA III Era|San Andreas]].

Carl pays another visit to Ryder, who is making his own "water" after he couldn't find it in his backyard. While Carl and Ryder are talking, [[Frank Tenpenny|Tenpenny]] and [[C.R.A.S.H.|his accomplices]] drop by to inform the two that there will be a army munitions train passing through town shortly, and that enemy gangs such as the [[Ballas]] will try to raid the train.

The two immediately depart, arriving at the train only to find the [[Los Santos Vagos]] have ambushed the train first and are attempting to offload munitions fighting the Grove Street boys. Once the Vagos are dead, the Ballas show up and try to take the train. Not wanting to lose the munitions, Carl jumps on the train. Ryder is now in the back of his [[Picador]], who waits with a Grove gangster driving behind the train, with Carl throwing some boxes to him. After acquiring sufficient munitions, the two are pursued by the police. They go to the nearby [[Pay 'n' Spray]] to lose the [[Los Santos Police Department|cops]], and goes back to Ryder's home.

The reward for this mission is an increase in [[respect]]. The mission [[Robbing Uncle Sam]] is unlocked.

*According to this mission, Tenpenny has a drug addict wife, though due to his tone of voice, Tenpenny could be joking.

*The song heard in the pre-mission cut scene is Fantastic Voyage by Lakeside, this song can also be heard on [[Bounce FM]]

*If the player kills Ryder before climbing on the back of the train, you won't be able to steal it - even if the mission is failed, it will remain locked.

*The freight in this mission has only one car attached, which is the only time this occurs in GTA San Andreas.
