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 Anti-Barrier effects, and if they can be tricked into using then while the player is close, they can be used as temporary covers.
