==Overview==
==Overview==
Drop pods are troop transports deployed from various [[Cabal warship]]s. Apart from making a hard landing, these pods can smash [[Guardian]]s to death if they happen to be in their way. They disintegrate upon striking their target, releasing the Cabal soldiers within. It possesses magnetic shielding suitable for protecting against Arc energy.<ref>'''Bungie (2020/11/20)''', ''[[Weblore:Season of the Hunt]]: [[Weblore:Season of the Hunt#Immolant Pt. 2|Immolant Pt. 2]]''</ref>

Drop pods are launched through an electrified rail system. The drop pod launcher upon Ghaul's command ship [[The Immortal]] is the only place where [[Amanda Holliday]] is able to drop [[The Guardian]] off in the [[Story Mission]] [[Homecoming]]. This is because The Immortal's shields do not protect the area of the ship where drop pods are deployed.

During the [[Invasion of Neptune]], both [[the Guardian]] and [[Osiris]] made use of single-occupant Drop Pods to get to Neptune's surface.<ref>'''Bungie (2023/2/28)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Lightfall]] - [[First Contact]]''</ref>

==Trivia==
==Trivia==
*An early design of the drop pod can be seen in [[:File:Red legion warship concept.jpg|concept art]] for [[The Immortal]]. Known as the Ripper Troop Pod, it was oblong with two rows of "teeth" along a central seam. The pod would split in half along its seam on landing, unlike the final version.
