Taken Dregs are a class of Taken Fallen.
Gameplay[edit]
Taken Dregs are equipped with a Solar Shock Pistol and a Shock Dagger, or are more rarely armed with an Arc Shrapnel Launcher. They lose the ability to throw Shock Grenades, in its place gaining the ability to teleport short distances, which they will do frequently to get a clear shot at enemies or close the distance. They fight more aggressively than their non-Taken counterparts, as they do not make use of cover and will often attempt to push into melee range.
While seeming unremarkable at first glance, these Taken are not to be underestimated. If they are low on health, they will undergo a drastic transformation; their size will increase until they nearly reach the stature of an Archon, and will gain a lower pair of arms constructed from Blight. Their weapon will be switched out for an Arc Molten Welder which fires projectiles that aggressively home in on enemies. They will regenerate a portion of their health and gain an increased resistance to damage. Their melee will be exchanged for an AoE stomp attack that does major damage and sends enemies flying backward. Lastly, they gain a new ability in the form of throwing out a Blight Grenade, which does not do any damage upon exploding, but instead leaves behind a pool of Blight that slows down and continuously damages any players that stand in it. In their transformed state, Taken Dregs will relentlessly hammer enemies with projectiles while teleporting to evade attacks, throwing out Blight Grenades to limit their movement.
