The '''Goliath Tank''' is a [[Cabal]] super-heavy hovercraft tank. It is armed with an energy cannon as its main weapon, as well as multiple close-range defenses. It also has the ability to charge at enemies while firing mines. Its wide arsenal, thick armor, and high mobility allow the tank to excel at area denial, crowd control, and suppression at all ranges.
The '''Goliath Tank''' is a [[Cabal]] super-heavy hovercraft tank.  
 
==Overview==
The main turret is a roughly estimated 110 mm artillery cannon, potentially firing devices titled "[[planet crackers]]", as well as multiple close-range defenses. Its weapon systems are powerful enough to even level bunkers and deliver powerful concussive shockwaves.<ref>[https://www.ishtar-collective.net/cards/ghost-fragment-cabal-3?highlight=Goliath Ghost Fragment Cabal 3]</ref> It also has the ability to charge at enemies while firing mines. Its wide arsenal, thick armor, and high mobility allow the tank to excel at area denial, crowd control, and suppression at all ranges, the main guns can even attack spacecraft. Its thrusters are a weapon as well can give it quick mobility, it is also a weakness by targeting it gives massive damage. The [[Red Legion]] also has seemingly two variants of the Goliath Tank at their disposal.
 
When in storage or maintenance, Goliaths can "stand" on their primary thrusters or "wheels", allowing for convenient storage and access to systems on the vehicle's underside.
 
==Gameplay==
==Gameplay==
The Goliath Tank is armed with an powerful cannon as its main weapon, dealing [[Solar]] damage. It has a considerable range, high velocity, and a massive blast radius, and can instantly kill a [[Guardian]] upon a direct hit. The Goliath is also outfitted with several machine gun turrets that act as close-range defense weapons, which will shred anyone that steps into their line of fire; they deal Solar damage as well. The machine guns are scattered around the tank. One is located on the main turret and two more are located on the front.<ref name="Planetview>[https://www.destinyplanetview.com/en/home '''Destiny Planet View''']</ref>

Additionally, there are missile launchers that fire homing rockets, which deal Solar damage. They are fired in clusters like those of a [[Colossus]] and deal heavy damage to Guardians unfortunate enough to interrupt their flight path, and occasionally, flak turrets will fire Solar-based explosive shells into the air to strike targets that pass overhead, which also proves to be an effective deterrent.


In addition to all of this fearsome firepower at hand, the Goliath is extremely resistant to conventional weaponry and is also surprisingly mobile. It is powered by four independently firing thrusters on each corner of the tank for locomotion, and give the tank two extra attacks: the tank will either charge while deploying mines that can detonate quickly, or send out a jet of energy at players, who get knocked back and are inflicted the "Burning" debuff. However, each of these thrusters is a weak spot and will take extra damage until it explodes in a devastating blow, although they take less precision damage once they have been destroyed.

In addition to all of this fearsome firepower at hand, the Goliath is also surprisingly mobile. It is powered by four independently firing thrusters on each corner of the tank for locomotion, and give the tank two extra attacks: the tank will either charge while deploying mines that can detonate prematurely, or send out a jet of energy at players, who get knocked back and get the "Burning" debuff. However, each of these thrusters is a weak spot; although once the thruster catches on fire, they take less precision damage than one that isn't on fire.
