The Colossus is the single most dangerous Cabal unit in the order of battle, clad in nearly impenetrable armor and armed with a devastating arsenal of heavy weapons. Their primary weapon of choice is none other than the [[Heavy Slug Thrower]], a large rotary machine gun which fires a hailstorm of microrockets at an incredibly fast rate. It is also shockingly accurate at long range, rendering any position on the battlefield potentially unfit for cover. Any Guardian who steps in its line of suppressive fire will have their shield melted in the blink of an eye and will be unable to fight back, for the microrockets fired can knock the player's aim off by a significant amount, so it best to stay mobile and run away.

However, as fearsome as the Colossus is, they can prove to be vulnerable due to their low mobility, despite their ferocious size and strength. Precision weapons are good for taking them out at a distance while fully automatic weapons allow them a quick death up close.

In ''Destiny 2'', Colossi primarily wield [[Cabal Slug Launcher]]s, though the Heavy Slug Thrower had its name changed to Power Slug Thrower, it still exists in their arsenal. They also utilize a new form of Cabal Cluster Missiles, which are fired in larger clusters, deal [[Arc]] damage, and have a longer range. If these missiles hit, they will blind, deafen and slow the the target for a few seconds, similar to the a shorter Fallen [[Web Mine]]. Movement wise, though they are still slow walkers, Colossi now also utilize their jetpacks more often than in the previous game. Finally, when the Shielded Foes [[Modifier]] is active, Colossi now gain Arc [[Absorption Shield]]s.
In Destiny 2, Colossi serving the [[Red Legion]] primarily wield [[Cabal Slug Launcher]]s that are capable of rapidly firing slugs or even energy beams. [[Red Legion]] Colossi also utilize Cabal Cluster Missiles, which function like a standard Colossus' missile swarm. However, these missiles are fired in larger clusters, deal [[Arc]] damage, and have a longer range. If these missiles hit, they will cause the player's screen to glow white for a few seconds, blinding them and greatly reducing their movement speed, effectively having the same effect as a Fallen [[Web Mine]], albeit wearing off faster. [[Red Legion]] Colossi also utilize their jetpacks more often than Colossi of other legions.
