The '''Cabal Slug Launcher''' is a weapon commonly used by [[Colossus|Colossi]] and large [[Psion]]s.<ref>'''Bungie (2017/09/23)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]''</ref>
The '''Cabal Slug Launcher''' is a weapon commonly used by [[Red Legion]] [[Colossus|Colossi]].  


==Overview==
==Overview==
These weapons have a slow fire rate, but deal very high impact per shot - roughly on par with the damage output of [[Hand Cannon]]s, yet with no need to pause for reloading. In addition to delivering considerable damage in a short period of time, Slug Launchers tend to knock a Guardian's aim off-target due to their high impact, impeding one's ability to fire back in a duel. Hence, outnumbering and overwhelming a Colossus wielding this weapon is advisable. Alternatively, if facing a Slug Launcher alone, engaging at a greater distance is effective, providing a significantly better chance to dodge the projectiles and kill the user with a long-range weapon.

A smaller, rifle-style version of the Slug Launcher is seen wielded by large, high-ranking [[Psion]]s. These include [[Inotam, Oblivion's Triune]], [[Ixel, the Far-Reaching]] and [[Qabix, Insurgent]], as well as many Psions with the rank of [[Optus]]. This variant can be fired with more agility, even while running.
Highly dangerous, [[Guardians]] should always first seek cover when one is being deployed against them.
 
Another variant of the Slug Launcher known as '''Resonant Sun''' is used by [[Emperor Calus|Calus, the Disciple]] in the [[Desperate Measures]] [[Lightfall]] [[Story Mission]]. Instead of the normal Arc damage of Slug Launchers, it fires Resonant [[Solar]] bolts.
