{{Quote|You are a Vandal. You slip through life like a thief. Trying to hide from everything greater than you — lest you be reduced, again, to a dreg. You have been taken. ''[...]'' You have no space to call your own. You deserve a place of safety. You deserve to be alone with yourself. There is a knife for you. It is shaped like ''[this place is mine]''.

Taken Vandals have gained the ability to summon a spherical shield similar to [[Ward of Dawn]]. This shield heals enemies inside and allows them to shoot out but not in. The shield only lasts a few seconds, but it is enough to disrupt one's flow of combat. Their weapons consist of either a [[Solar]] [[Wire Rifle]] or an [[Arc]] [[Shrapnel Launcher]]. Taken Vandals are unusually accurate with their Wire Rifles. Still, they are not very resilient, are less agile than their normal counterparts, especially if compared in ''[[Destiny 2]]'', and have a more limited arsenal. Their shields can also be shot through using [[Champion|Anti-Barrier]] effects, and if they can be tricked into using them while the player is close, they can be used as temporary covers.
