The '''Cyclops''' is a huge, stationary [[Vex]] unit with a powerful [[Void]] weapon. <ref>'''Bungie (2014/9/9)''', ''[[Destiny]], [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire:Enemies/Vex Arsenal#Cyclops|Cyclops]]''</ref>

==Overview==
Cyclopes act as artillery units - installed to protect key points with devastating mortar fire, though some evidence suggests that the Cyclopes are in fact an enormous sensor or beacon, and that its defensive capabilities are secondary. What they sense is unknown, but they may play a role in the Vex networked intelligence, or in navigation across space and time. Their mind cores are noted to be vast.<ref>'''Bungie (2014/9/9)''', ''[[Destiny]], [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire:Enemies/Vex Arsenal#Cyclops|Cyclops]]''</ref> 

==Gameplay==
A Cyclops fires large mortar rounds that deal very high damage [[Guardian]]s in their blast radius, and are capable of tanking numerous attacks, making them a dangerous priority target when present. Shooting a Cyclops in the eye will deal critical damage. However when damaged there, a Cyclops will enter a confused state, firing [[Torch Hammer]]-like bolts wildly and without focus. This can result in friendly fire on the part of the Cyclops. A Cyclops' actual weak spot is behind its back, in a small diagonal protuberance containing its [[Radiolaria]] core. <ref>'''Bungie (2014/9/9)''', ''[[Destiny]], [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire:Enemies/Vex Arsenal#Cyclops|Cyclops]]''</ref> Cyclopses are usually positioned in such a way as to overlook a large area, leaving little cover for their devastating bolts. Cyclopes in ''[[Destiny 2]]'' gained armor plating surrounding their eye region, protecting them from damage unless struck there. They are otherwise unchanged.
