Imperial Deserter

The Imperial Deserter is a powerful Cabal Centurion who abandoned the Empire. They accompanied Valus Dralgur, the Exiled to the Pyramid on Europa in the hopes of pillaging artifacts of the Darkness.

Gameplay
The Imperial Deserter is encountered midway through the The Communion mission as a boss. After killing all of the Cabal in the area, they will arrive via Harvester, accompanied by two Incendiors. The Deserter can fire at player from at long range with their Projection Rifle, and has a stomp attack that leaves behind large pools of fire, which they will perform if you get to close. The Centurion will call for more troops as they continue to take damage, and will summon an immunity shield after their health is decreased by a third. In order to disable the shield, the player must deactivate to a Cabal jammer device located on the right side of the room. This will have to be done a second time when the boss loses another third of their health and summons another, but after that, the Deserter can be finished off.
