Biography
Breaching the City
At some point, the Kell's Scourge stole technology from the Black Armory forge on Nessus and integrated it with their own technology, in order to create a massive war-mech for Insurrection Prime to commandeer.
Black Armory
Insurrection Prime and the Kell's Scourge breached various different Black Armory vaults and succeeded in stealing technology and weapons, helping outfit Kell's Scourge militants to have superior combat capabilities. After losing the Gofannon Forge on Nessus to the Guardians, the Kell's Scourge launched an invasion against the Last City using Insurrection Prime's mech to breach their defenses and occupied a desolate section of the city, with the intent of plundering the vault within. In response, the Vanguard dispatched a fireteam to raid the Scourge's territory and destroy the war machine.
Gameplay
Phase 1
When the fireteam exits the Botza Underground and proceeds into the combat area, they will encounter a massive Insurrection Defender Servitor. They should leave it alive for now and split into two teams of three: a bottom team and a surface team.
The team at the surface has a simple task: kill the Brutal Shanks with elemental Absorption shields before they enter the bottom area, as well as the Insurrection Defender Servitor when the bottom team calls it out. Multi-element weapons are recommended for this role, preferrably Hard Light or Borealis to quickly deal with the elemental shields of the Shanks.
The bottom team has to run into the holes located in the four corners of the inner house structures and enter the tunnel underneath as soon as the Servitor is killed. Four different terminals that can be punched can be found down there, all sporting a different symbol and color: Triangle (blue), which gives the Angular Phase Radiance, Square (white) which gives the Parallel Phase Radiance, and Circle (pink), which gives the Continuous Phase Radiance. The fourth terminal pulsates in red and flickers between all three previously mentioned shapes; hitting this terminal triggers a wipe mechanic, so it should be left alone.
After each player in the underground area has acquired a different buff, they will call it out to the top team who will kill the Insurrection Defender and reset the terminals. The bottom team needs to once again find the same shape to punch; picking a different one will kill the player. Keep in mind that having a buff active creates a force field around the player which tethers and damages Guardians with other buffs stepping into it. The most effective way to avoid this is to rotate clockwise until everyone have found their respective terminal.
After everyone have gathered their second set of Phase Radiance, the top team should kill the Servitor to deactivate the electrical fields covering the exits. The bottom team split up and head to the three different energy stations identical to those in the first encounter. These are placed in the bottom left, bottom right and top middle of the area and spawn a Powered Drake tank when two Phase Radiance charges are deposited. The bottom team needs take these to middle and shoot the Insurrection Prime, preferrably using the missiles to deal the most effective damage. The tanks have a 30 second timer and will explode once it runs out. The entire process repeats until the health bar is fully depleted and the second phase starts.
Phase 2
Traits
Insurrection Prime is an aggressive, terrifying Prime Servitor, reigning through its massive war machine. With the mech by its side, it is the most powerful Servitor ever encountered by Guardian forces, requiring a team of six to bring its mech down. It seeks to bring down traditional Fallen ideals, and establish a new age of anarchy amongst their species by bringing down terror and hellfire through its mech. It is one of the most powerful Fallen combatants ever encountered by Guardians, only rivaling the likes of Aksis, Archon Prime in its combat capabilities.
Trivia
- The mech bears a resemblance to Metal Gear Rex of the Metal Gear Solid series, and further possible inspiration taken into its design may include:
- The Tone Titan from Titanfall 2.
- Various classes of Titan from the Warhammer 40k universe.
- It is the first mech seen in the Destiny franchise and the first Servitor observed commandeering a vehicle of any kind.
- It is the first Servitor to be a Raid boss in the Destiny series.
- Parts from various different Fallen technologies can be seen throughout the mech, with its head plate being taken from a Spider Tank.
- The word "Insurrection" means a violent uprising against authority, essentially rising against the traditional ways of the Fallen. It is one of the few Fallen to not bear a traditional name ending with -sis, -is, or -iks, demonstrating its abandonment of tradition.
- Aside from the raid lairs, Insurrection Prime is the sole boss (that needs to be damaged) of the entire main raid.
- The actual Prime Servitor that controls the mech bears a similarity to the Mad Warden servitor.
