Taken Colossus are powerful Taken created from Cabal Colossi. Like their original counterparts, they serve as heavily armed heavy infantry capable of laying down overwhelming fire while using their immense strength to repel enemies that approach them. Taken corruption grants them additional abilities, including the ability to deploy multiple Axion Darts and unleash volleys of penumbral bolts that inflict Stasis and Slow their targets. Though sometimes they function unchanged from their normal counterpart save for losing their missiles.

Gameplay

Taken Colossi retain the heavy weaponry and aggressive combat capabilities of their Cabal counterparts, using their Heavy Slug Throwers to engage enemies at range while their mobility allows them to reposition across the battlefield. They can deploy two Axion Darts at a time, increasing the pressure placed on targets attempting to avoid their attacks.

Every so often, a Taken Colossus will fire a volley of five penumbral bolts toward its enemies. These bolts deal Stasis damage and apply 5 Slow stacks to targets they strike. Because Slow stacks can accumulate toward Frozen, these attacks can quickly become dangerous if the Colossus is allowed to continue firing. Taken Colossi should therefore be considered high-priority targets, particularly when their penumbral bolts can affect multiple members of a fireteam.

Known Taken Colossi

Trivia
