| | The '''Taken Vandal''' is a type of [[Taken]] [[Fallen]] that summons a spherical shield similar to [[Ward of Dawn]]. This shield heals enemies inside and allows them to shoot out but not in. Their weapons consist of either a [[Solar]] [[Wire Rifle]] or an [[Arc]] [[Shrapnel Launcher]]. Taken Vandals are unusually accurate with their Wire Rifles. |

| ==Gameplay==
| |
| Taken Vandals have gained the ability to summon a spherical shield similar to [[Ward of Dawn]]. This shield heals enemies inside and allows them to shoot out but not in. The shield only lasts a few seconds, but it is enough to disrupt one's flow of combat. Their weapons consist of either a [[Solar]] [[Wire Rifle]] or an [[Arc]] [[Shrapnel Launcher]]. Taken Vandals are unusually accurate with their Wire Rifles. Still, they are not very resilient, are less agile than their normal counterparts, especially if compared in ''[[Destiny 2]]'', and have a more limited arsenal. Their shields can also be shot through using [[Champion|Anti-Barrier]] effects, and if they can be tricked into using then while the player is close, they can be used as temporary covers.
