The [[Taken]] and [[Hive]] also use Arc damage across many of their weapons, most famously the Hive [[Boomer]]. The [[Scorn]] reserve Arc damage for the rare [[Scorn Mine Launcher]]s and the attacks of [[Abomination]]s. In ''[[Destiny]]'', the [[Cabal]] had no Arc weapons, with [[Psion]] melees and shockwaves being the only source of the damage, but in ''Destiny 2'' they started issuing the [[Cabal Slug Shotgun]] in large amounts to [[Legionaries]] and [[Phalanx]]es, though Psions switched to Void abilities. Common [[Vex]] don't use Arc weapons, but the explosions of [[Fanatic]]s, as well as the pools of [[Radiolaria]] commonly encountered in their territory deal Arc damage. | ||
