Trivia

• Adherents are the first Hive sniper units encountered in-game, filling a similar role as Red Legion Psions, Vex Hobgoblins and Fallen Vandals; prior to the Adherents' first appearance, all other factions had snipers.
• Adherents are noticeably rarer than other Hive units and the snipers of other factions, generally only appearing in small numbers on specific missions, and are rarely seen in the open world.
