- "The truths about the Fallen chain-of-command are still making themselves known, but Vandals appear to hold a higher ranking than the Dregs, and deadlier weapons, too. They often have long range capability, but, lucky for us, their weapons take time to charge."
- — Bungie.net description.[1]
Vandals are a class of Fallen warrior. They appear to be superior to Dregs, but subordinate to Captains. Their shock rifles have longer range than shock pistols used by Dregs, but take time to charge.[1] They are occasionally armed with a Shrapnel Launcher, and at certain times, a Wire Rifle for long range shooting.
Overview[edit]
- "You could drown the City in the blood they've spilt."
- — Grimoire description.
Savage pirates, Vandals take pride in every world they pillage and every body they drop. Soldiers, brawlers, assassins, and scouts, Vandals serve many roles within a Fallen crew. And whether from distance or up close and personal, they are seasoned, efficient killers, with an arsenal of weaponry and tech to match their bloodlust.[2]
Gameplay[edit]
Vandals are proper troops, more resilient than the cannon fodder Dregs, in addition to being armed with more effective weapons. They are very agile, and will dodge from side to side to avoid incoming fire. They are commonly equipped with Shock Rifles, which they use at medium range while darting from cover to cover, or Wire Rifles, which they use from afar to snipe targets. Rarely they wield Shock Blades, and though they are weaker than Captains wielding them, they usually use them in teams. In Destiny 2 they gained the ability to use their lower arms to scuttle along the ground, moving quickly while also providing a harder target to shoot, though their ability to use Shock Blades has been passed to Marauders. That said, Vandals are still not very tough, and will die in just a few more shots than a Dreg.
