The Cabal Interceptor is equipped with a pair of Solar cannons that fire large explosive shells, causing splash-damage. It is able to use intermittent boost that provides a one-second burst of speed every several seconds. While in boost, the cannons fold in and cannot be used.<ref>[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X2BsIkL5fhQ#t=286 '''YouTube''' - ''Destiny Mutliplayer Gameplay PvP Control on First Light'']</ref> The Interceptor is significantly slower than the [[Sparrow]] or [[Pike]], but its boost can significantly accelerate it, and it is able to maneuver easily around larger vehicles such as a [[Goliath Tank]]. It is very durable and can take much punishment before exploding. | The Cabal Interceptor is equipped with a pair of Solar cannons that fire large explosive shells, causing splash-damage.

In [[Destiny 2]], the [[Red Legion]] have a secondary variant of Interceptor at their disposal and are distinguished from the standard model by their black hull. These Interceptors have an increased rate of fire, infinite speed boost and can fire both cannons at once, but are only accessible to the player in certain missions, such as [[Road Rage]] and [[1AU]]. | In ''[[Destiny 2]]'', the [[Red Legion]] have a secondary variant of Interceptor at their disposal and are distinguished from the standard model by their black hull.

In the game, Interceptors are also encountered with an onboard pilot, a class of [[Psion]] called [[Interceptor Pilot]]. They move around in [[Patrol]] zones and can also be encountered in specific missions.<ref>'''Bungie (2017/9/8)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Patrol]] [[European Dead Zone]]''</ref><ref>'''Bungie (2022/2/22)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Season of the Risen]] - [[Mission]]: [[Vox Obscura]]''</ref> | |||

*Based on the fact Guardians can use these vehicles easily, and that the seats are too small for ordinary Cabal soldiers like [[Legionary|Legionaries]], it was assumed that [[Psion]]s piloted them exclusively. This theory was confirmed in the Destiny 2 gameplay premiere. | *Based on the fact Guardians can use these vehicles easily, and that the seats are too small for ordinary Cabal soldiers like [[Legionary|Legionaries]], it was assumed that [[Psion]]s piloted them exclusively.
