The Goliath Tank is a Cabal super-heavy hovercraft tank. It is armed with an energy cannon as its main weapon, as well as multiple close-range defenses. It also has the ability to charge at enemies while firing mines. Its wide arsenal, thick armor, and high mobility allow the tank to excel at area denial, crowd control, and suppression at all ranges.
Gameplay
The main turret is a roughly estimated 110 mm energy cannon, dealing Solar damage. It can potentially fire devices titled "planet crackers." They have a considerable range, high velocity, and massive blast radius, and can instantly kill a Guardian in one shot. The Goliath is also outfitted with several machine gun turrets that act as close-range defense weapons, which will shred anyone that steps into their line of fire; they deal Arc damage. The machine guns are scattered around the tank. One is located on the main turret and two more are located on the front.[1]
Additionally, there are missile launchers that fire homing rockets, which deal Solar damage. They are fired in clusters like those of a Colossus and deal heavy damage to Guardians unfortunate enough to interrupt their flight path, and occasionally, mortars will fire Solar-based explosive shells into the air to strike targets that pass overhead, although they usually don't hit their target, meaning that it might serve as a deterrent.
In addition to all of this fearsome firepower at hand, the Goliath is also surprisingly mobile. It is powered by four independently firing thrusters on each corner of the tank for locomotion, and give the tank two extra attacks: the tank will either charge while deploying mines that can detonate prematurely, or send out a jet of energy at players, who get knocked back and get the "Burning" debuff. However, each of these thrusters is a weak spot; although once the thruster catches on fire, they take less precision damage than one that isn't on fire.
