Forum:The Discharged (Kind of a Joke Faction)

"We found you, Guardian! We're going to shoot you now! We're going to throw our grenades! We're going to fire our missile barrages! We're going to launch our psionic blasts! We're going to recharge our shields!"

- The Discharged giving away their tactics like total idiots

The Discharged is a group of decommissioned Cabal soldiers put off duty by the Cabal High Command for their lack of skill in battle. They come from all backgrounds, ranging from the Sand Eaters all the way up to the Red Legion. Discharged Cabal soldiers are known for their poor tactical decisions, such as mindlessly claiming territory in several plot points in the Solar System and forgetting to employ even the most basic combat strategies.

Unique Forces
Discharged Cabal soldiers wear extremely heavy armor composed of a mixture of metal alloys, granting them significantly increased health, immunity to precision damage, and massive resistance to debuffs and staggering effects. However, the sheer mass of their armor prevents them from using their thrusters, thus limiting their mobility. They will state whenever they're about to attack or perform a special action if they have one, like throwing a grenade or launching a special attack.

In addition, they have modified their weapons to be fully automatic, making it so that they never stop firing at all. As a result of this modification, their weapons frequently experience variations in damage, fire rate, accuracy, velocity, and trajectory; this also might cause their weapon to become jammed for a short time. Their weapons also have different frames as well, which gives them varied properties.

They never move around while firing their weapons, and do not have melee attacks, with the notable exception of the Phalanx and Gladiator units. Elemental shield systems are much more resilient, but do not regenerate unless depleted, and take longer to restore their durability. Each soldier is assigned a role based on their original legion, infantry type, and most recent official rank.
