Trivia

  • The Adherent's role and abilities in battle was similar, if not the same, as the Red Legion Psion as well as the Vex Hobgoblin and the Fallen Vandal.
  • Adherents were noticeably rarer than other Hive units and the snipers of other factions, generally only appearing in small numbers on specific missions and were rarely seen in the open world.
  • The Adherent was the first Hive soldier that functioned exclusively as a sniper.
    • Besides the Cabal, before the Red Legion's appearance, all other factions had snipers.
  • Adherents that were seen in the Tangled Shore and on the Moon were named as Acolytes rather than Adherents.
