Hobgoblins are specialized Vex snipers.[1]
Overview
Hobgoblins are lean, tougher Vex units fitted with improved optics and acute sensors in their horns.[2] They have distinctive tails.[3] They are usually armed with weapons called Line Rifles, terminals which theoretically draw energy from the accretion disks of galactic singularities.[4]
Gameplay
When attacked, Hobgoblins often seal themselves in stasis within an impenetrable shield that renders them completely immune to all forms of damage. Guardians who step into this shield are inflicted with the "Burning" debuff until they withdraw. Occasionally, Hobgoblins make use of Slap Grenades to force players out of cover and push them back.[5]
