The Ripper Pod is a troop transporter that is used by the Cabal of the Red Legion.

Overview

Ripper Pods are troop transports deployed from Red Legion Cabal warships. Apart from making a hard landing, these pods can smash Guardians to death if they happen to be in their way. They disintegrate upon striking their target, releasing the Red Legion soldiers within.

Ripper pods are launched through an electrified rail system. The Ripper Pod Launcher upon Ghaul's command ship The Immortal is the only place where Amanda Holliday is able to drop us off in the Story Mission Homecoming. This is because The Immortal's shields do not protect the area of the ship where ripper pods are deployed.

Trivia

• An early design of the Ripper Pod was oblong, with two rows of "teeth" along a central seam. The pod would split in half along its seam on landing, unlike the final version.
