It appears that the Legionaries have a medical system in their suits which acts as a pressurized tourniquet that seals wounds or prevent blood loss, and the emergency medic release is located in their helmet that releases the pressure seal and the oil fluid seeps out. <ref>'''Bungie (09/04/2018)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Forsaken]] - [[Lore:The Forsaken Prince|The Forsaken Prince]]: [[Lore:The Forsaken Prince#On the Hunt|On the Hunt]]''</ref>

Legionaries are also armed with a heated blade that is used as a melee to slash at guardians, the blade can also serve as a projectile

===''Destiny''===
===''Destiny''===
Legionaries are the most common troops found in the [[Cabal]] army and are primarily armed with [[Slug Rifle]]s or, in rare cases, [[Projection Rifle]]s. In battle, they use large numbers and overwhelming firepower to overrun and wipe out their enemies. Due to their heavy armor, they are the largest and most durable basic infantry from all of the enemy races. While this gear makes them appear slow and cumbersome, they are actually able to move quickly around the battlefield thanks to the jump jets built into their armor. Because they often fight in groups and close to each other, they can be quickly felled by area-of-effect weapons and attacks, such as [[Rocket Launcher]]s and grenades.

In ''Destiny 2'', Legionaries remain largely the same, but they now can deploy blades from their free wrist to make melee attacks. These blades can also be fired at the player, and will explode like a fragmentation grenade a few seconds after making contact with any surface. They typically wield [[Cabal Slug Shotgun]]s, though some Legionnaires continue to wield Slug Rifles.

==Trivia==
==Trivia==
*In the [[Destiny]] [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xKOY8zJx2Q4 Character Development] video, it is shown that the Legionaries' Slug Rifle had a stock to it. This may have been removed to emphasize the blunt/brute-like nature of the Cabal in Destiny 1.
*Legionaries are among the most commonly encountered Cabal troops.
*Frag Detonators that directly hit a target will stick to them.
*In the [[Destiny]] [[Character Development]] video, it is shown that the Legionaries' Slug Rifle had a stock to it. This may have been removed to emphasize the blunt/brute like nature to the Cabal in Destiny 1.
