The Lost Legion use better equipment and weaponry due to their factories in Firebase Manticore. Their armor is a primary blue with a secondary white with navy blue markings printed on on them. War Beasts retain their body color, but their armor is slate with blue blades and tubes. Technology such as Scorpius turrets, Accipiters, Ships and Tanks are colored black with dark blue iconography and lighting. Higher leveled enemies will be indicated by red armor, white iconography, and teal lighting as well as more sophisticated tech, thicker armor and feathered crests decorating their bodies. | The Lost Legion use better equipment and weaponry due to their factories in Firebase Manticore.

*[[Scorpius]]: Automated Turrets employed by the Lost Legion used to defend key strongpoints and objectives. They retain their rapidly firing Slug Cannon, but also has other weapons at its disposal: a sniper mode for long distances, a flamethrower for close quarters and a rocket pod for long distance targets. Still has a permeable critical on its main, boxy core. | *[[Scorpius]]: Automated Turrets employed by the Lost Legion used to defend key strongpoints and objectives.

Can navigate the battlefield with torque joints built into their legs and has a thruster in its drive shaft. Now has a deflective shield blocking its head from the front. Can also apply an over-shield to nearby shielded enemies such as [[Centurion]]s while providing an Absorption Shield for itself. It violently explodes when killed. The critical spot is located on its exposed back. | ||

It rapidly hovers around the battlefield, quickly flanking enemies and strafing gunfire. It is usually armed with a [[Slug Rifle]] on its tail, however, some variants exist with different weaponry (Advanced Centurions or Devastators can grant heavy weaponry to their Accipiters). They are usually weak to gunfire, but their sleek design and maneuverability can make them a difficult target. | ||

Despite it's large frame and slowed movement, this drone can still deal massive damage and provide allies with tactical support. Now carries a [[Heavy Slug Thrower]], a Grenade Launcher and a volatile exhaust port, which it will use to sketch out areas of denial. Can also provide immunity shields to any single ally in its vicinity while still being able to fire back. It can also drop a [[Major]] (note: not an advanced one) [[Scorpius]] armed with a temporary absorption shield. Grenades also have different payloads in each volley: [[Solar]] launches Burning Grenades that explode upon impact, leaving behind a pool of burning magma, [[Arc]] leaves behind mines that explode when shot or stepped on while causing the shock effect, and [[Void]] Grenades are finned and will slowly track their targets before coating it's target and the environment around them in a weakening substance. Critical points on this drone is located on its engines. | ||

*[[War Beast]] | *[[War Beast]]: Unlike their other, less advanced counterparts, these lupine cannon-fodder bear better tech and genetics. If another ally is in close proximity, it will tithe itself to it's Cabal caretaker. If this ally is killed, the War Beast 'evolves', healing any lost health and becoming a larger, more resilient melee unit with a stronger bite than it's previous form. It can do this same process to other allies until it becomes a 'Rabid Matriarch War Beast'; it's final level, where it can summon more of it's kind. A well placed headshot can drop these creatures, but higher levels require more punishment to bring down. | ||
**Advanced War Beast | **Advanced War Beast: A larger, technological and genetic abomination of a Beast, this creature is an absolute tank when comparing to it's peers. Swipe and tail swing attacks are fatal. Also has a bull-rush ability which severely damages and knocks back a target while applying the 'Gored' Debuff, which temporarily negates healing. It can also vomit a caustic liquid like a flamethrower up close or like a fireball at a distance; this caustic substance creates areas-of-denial and applies the 'Nullified' Debuff. Genetic modifications allow the Monstrosity to fire it's back spikes to be fired like missiles, which will stick to enemies and surfaces before exploding with [[Solar]] energy. Torque joints mounted on it's legs allow heightened mobility and armor. Armor plating protects these monster's bodies, only being able to be killed by explosives or headshots. | ||
