'''Vandals''' are a class of [[Fallen]] warrior. They appear to be superior to [[Fallen Dreg|Dregs]], but subordinate to [[Fallen Captain|Captains]]. Their shock rifles have longer range than shock pistols used by Dregs, but take time to charge.<ref name=frontier/> They are occasionally armed with a [[Shrapnel Launcher]], and at certain times, a [[Wire Rifle]] for long range shooting.

Savage pirates, Vandals take pride in every world they pillage and every body they drop. Soldiers, brawlers, assassins, and scouts, Vandals serve many roles within a Fallen crew. And whether from distance or up close and personal, they are seasoned, efficient killers, with an arsenal of weaponry and tech to match their bloodlust.<ref name = "GrimoireVandal">'''Bungie (2014-6-12)''', ''Destiny, [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire:Enemies/Fallen#Vandal|Vandal]]''</ref>

==Gameplay==
Vandals are proper troops, more resilient than the cannon fodder [[Dreg]]s, as well wielding more effective weapons. They are very agile, and will dodge from side to side to avoid incoming fire. They are commonly equipped with [[Shock Rifle]]s, which they use at medium range while darting from cover to cover, or [[Wire Rifle]]s, which they use from afar to snipe targets. Rarely they wield [[Shock Blade]]s, and though they are weaker than [[Captain]]s wielding them, they usually use them in teams. In ''[[Destiny 2]]'' they gained the ability to use their lower arms to scuttle along the ground, moving quickly while also providing a harder target to shoot, though their ability to use Shock Blades has been passed to [[Marauder]]s. That said, Vandals are still not very tough, and will die in just a few more shots than a Dreg.

==Gameplay==
A Vandal can usually overcome a [[Hive]] [[Acolyte]], depending on opposing levels. They can withstand a [[Titan (class)|Titan]]'s uncharged punch once, even on the lowest level, but a punch to the head usually ends them. In [[Destiny 2]], Vandals are able to quickly cross the battlefield when on all 6 limbs. This makes them difficult to shoot at.


==Trivia==
==Trivia==
*Vandals of the five old houses have different and distinct armor variations. [[House of Devils]] Vandals have curved horns on the sides of their helmets, as well as small square hooks on top. Those in the [[House of Kings]] have flat horns and a trio of bolt-shaped studs on the top. [[House of Exile|Exiles]] have their left horn broken off, no decoration on their helmet, as well as a two-pronged shoulder guard. The [[House of Winter]] possesses the most baseline vandals, with no decoration or additional armor and with flat horns. However, the decoration on the Kell's Guard appears to be a mix of both that of the Devils and Kings, and they do bare the shoulder guard. [[House of Wolves|Wolves]] look identical to those of Winter, though the colored sections of their armor are switched, as well as having fur-like scarfs and pelts.

*In ''Destiny'', [[Minor]] Vandals with Shock Blades wield the left one in reverse grip, while [[Major]] non-Stealth ones wield both of them upright.
