The ''' | The '''drop pod'''<ref>'''Bungie (2019/6/4)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Season of Opulence]], Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, Item Description: [[Season of Opulence]]''</ref> is a single-use troop transporter that is used by the [[Cabal]] of the [[Red Legion]].<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BaAgKqTOCY4</ref> | ||
==Overview== | ==Overview== | ||
Drop pods are troop transports deployed from Red Legion [[Cabal warship]]s. Apart from making a hard landing, these pods can smash [[Guardian]]s to death if they happen to be in their way. They disintegrate upon striking their target, releasing the [[Red Legion]] soldiers within. | |||
Drop pods are launched through an electrified rail system. The drop pod launcher upon Ghaul's command ship The Immortal is the only place where [[Amanda Holliday]] is able to drop [[The Guardian]] off in the [[Story Mission]] [[Homecoming]]. This is because The Immortal's shields do not protect the area of the ship where drop pods are deployed. | |||
