Scorpius

The Scorpius is a ballistic war turret that is employed by the Cabal Empire.

Overview
Scorpius units are ballistic turrets that are deployed onto battlefields by Red Legion and Loyalist forces at great speeds from the sky. They are fragile, but make up for this weakness with an astonishing amount of firepower, possessing the highest firing rates of any enemy unit in Destiny 2.

Gameplay
In-game, Scorpius units are rather weak but compensate for this fragility with an overwhelming rate of fire. When a Guardian approaches, the Scorpius will immediately sound an alarm, and instantaneously target their enemy. If let loose for too long, they can quickly destroy Guardian shields in seconds. When encountering a Scorpius, Guardians should take cover immediately and prioritise their destruction. The turret's entire head is a precision damage area, and as such should become the Guardian's main target if a Scorpius detects them.
