==Overview==
==Overview==
Scorpius units are ballistic turrets that are deployed onto battlefields by [[Cabal]] forces. They were first encountered with the [[Red Legion]], but have since then been employed by all subsequently encountered Cabal groups. They are fragile and immoble, but make up for this weakness with an astonishing amount of firepower, possessing the highest firing rates of any enemy unit in ''[[Destiny 2]]''.
Scorpius units are ballistic turrets that are deployed onto battlefields by [[Red Legion]] and [[Loyalists|Loyalist]] forces at great speeds from the sky. They are fragile, but make up for this weakness with an astonishing amount of firepower, possessing the highest firing rates of any enemy unit in ''[[Destiny 2]]''.


==Gameplay==
==Gameplay==
In-game, Scorpius units are rather weak but compensate for this fragility with an overwhelming rate of fire. When a target approaches, the Scorpius will immediately sound an alarm, and instantaneously target their enemy. The hail of [[Solar]] bullets is akin to a [[Heavy Slug Thrower]], and can likewise destroy a [[Guardian]]'s shields in seconds. When encountering a Scorpius, Guardians should take cover immediately and prioritise their destruction. The turret's entire head is a precision damage area, and as such should become the Guardian's main target if a Scorpius detects them.

==Trivia==
*The scout Legions of the [[Cabal]] do not make use of the Scorpius.
*They are possibly inspired or named after the Roman [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scorpio_(weapon) Scorpio] siege engine; usage of "Scorpius" tends to refer to the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scorpius constellation].
