| The '''Colossus''' is a robust type of [[Cabal]] elite warrior.
| |
| | |
| ==Overview==
| |
| Massive, even for Cabal standards, Colossi lead through their own relentless demeanor, wielding devastating Gatling-style [[Heavy Slug Thrower]]s and Railgun-like [[Cabal Slug Launcher]]s.<ref>'''Game Informer January 2014''', ''page 55''</ref> Colossi also posses radios that allow them to make reports back to their command centers.<ref>[https://www.ishtar-collective.net/entries/ancient-apocalypse-mask?highlight=colossus Ancient Apocalypse Mask]</ref> They tower over most Cabal infantry with their rapid fire weaponry and near-impenetrable armor, they are the most devastating unit in the Cabal's roster.<ref>'''Bungie (09/09/2014''', ''[[Destiny]], [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire:Enemies/Cabal#Colossus|Colossus]]''</ref> They are mighty enough that a stomp of their feet can shake the ground beneath them.<ref>[https://www.ishtar-collective.net/cards/crimson-days?highlight=colossus Crimson Days]</ref> | |

| ==Gameplay== | | ==Gameplay== |
| ===Destiny===
| |
| The Colossus is the single most dangerous Cabal unit in the order of battle, clad in nearly impenetrable armor and armed with a devastating arsenal of heavy weapons. Their primary weapon of choice is none other than the Heavy Slug Thrower, a large rotary machine gun which fires a storm of microrockets at an incredibly fast rate. It is also shockingly accurate at long range, rendering any position on the battlefield potentially unfit for cover. Any [[Guardian]] who steps in its line of suppressive fire will have their shield melted in the blink of an eye and will be unable to fight back, for the microrockets fired can knock the player's aim off by a significant amount, so it's best to stay mobile and run away.
| |
|
| |
|
| Colossi also have the ability to fire homing missile swarms from pods on the back of their armor.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W6eFgqDnK7M '''Youtube:''' ''Destiny -- Dust Palace Strike Walkthrough (Only on PlayStation)'']</ref> These missiles have a high velocity and blast radius, so dodging them can prove to be a difficult prospect because if a full barrage hits their target they could swiftly destroy the player. Although Colossi dominate at long range, facing them up close is still a bad idea, as they will unleash a three-hundred-sixty degree ground smash called the "Quake" that can instantly kill Guardians. For those few that survive, they will suffer massive damage and tremendous knockback, causing them to die of impact with a hard surface at sufficient distance.
| | A Colossus is the most dangerous Cabal unit to be encountered on the battlefield due to their powerful weaponry, acting as an all-range heavy assault unit, with their primary weapon of choice being the Heavy Slug Thrower. Heavy Slug Throwers fire a hailstorm of bullets that can keep the player pinned down in its line of suppressive fire and melt a Guardian's shield in the blink of an eye, and is also surprisingly accurate at long range, thus maintaining effectiveness over vast distances. Each bullet hits like a truck due to their massive flinch value, and to have so many bullets shoved downrange into a Guardian so quickly would end them in an instant. |
|
| |
|
| However, as fearsome as the Colossus is, they can prove to be vulnerable due to their low mobility, despite their ferocious size and strength. Precision weapons are good for taking them out at a distance while fully automatic weapons allow them a quick death up close.
| | Colossi also have the ability to fire shoulder-mounted rockets that track their targets. Should a full barrage manage to land a hit they can swiftly destroy their target. <ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W6eFgqDnK7M '''Youtube:''' ''Destiny -- Dust Palace Strike Walkthrough (Only on PlayStation)'']</ref> The rockets also have a high velocity, making dodging them a very difficult strategy to pull off. Although Colossi dominate at long range, engaging in melee combat with one is a bad idea, as it is capable of unleashing a three-hundred-sixty degree ground stomp that instantly kills any Guardian who gets too close. It is for these reasons that a Colossus either be engaged at extreme distances or eliminated quickly in a panic. |
| | |
| ===Destiny 2=== | |
| In ''[[Destiny 2]]'', Colossi primarily wield Cabal Slug Launchers, though the Heavy Slug Thrower still exists in their arsenal, renamed to Power Slug Thrower. They also utilize a new form of Cabal Cluster Missiles, which are fired in larger clusters, deal [[Arc]] damage, and have a longer range. If these missiles hit, they will blind, deafen and slow the target for a few seconds, similar to the a shorter-lasting Fallen [[Web Mine]]. Movement wise, though they are still slow walkers, Colossi now also utilize their jetpacks more often than in the previous game. Finally, when the Shielded Foes [[Modifier]] is active, Colossi now gain Arc [[Absorption Shield]]s.
