The '''Taken Acolyte''' is a type of [[Taken]] [[Hive]] which deploys [[Acolyte's Eye]] turrets. Their [[Shredder]]s deal [[Arc]] damage, but the bolts travel in an arc. They are more aggressive than their ordinary counterparts and do not utilize cover, and move slowly.

==Gameplay==
The main difference they have from their Acolyte counterpart is the ability to deploy [[Acolyte's Eye]] turrets. Their [[Shredder]]s deal [[Arc]] damage, but the bolts travel in an arc. They are more aggressive than their ordinary counterparts and do not utilize cover, but move slower. If one can weather the hail of fire they can put out though, they can be killed easily.
