As the lead unit in a standard group of Cabal soldiers, Centurions should be eliminated quickly. Armed with a deadly [[Projection Rifle]], an analogue of a grenade launcher, they relentlessly bombard the position Guardians with highly-explosive grenades at any distance. The grenades they fire have a high velocity, so dodging them can be a challenge. In addition, a Centurion's armor is embedded with a [[Solar]] shield, improving their overall durability. In conjunction with their deadly firepower, they are also surprisingly mobile due to their jump jets, which they use repeatedly to reposition themselves and find a different firing points so they can continue to pound Guardians with their Projection Rifles.<ref>'''Bungie (2014/9/9)''', ''Game: Console, Activision Blizzard''</ref>
