Cutlaaks, Privateer is a large Fallen Captain and the leader of gang of Eliksni and Cabal pirates, who scour the Cosmodrome in search of buried riches and treasures. They appear in the Expedition: Cosmodrome activity as the final boss.[1]

Gameplay

Cutlaaks is encountered at the Forgotten Shore at the end of Expedition: Cosmodrome. Once you have loaded the Haul with treasure from all across the area and guided it to its final destination, multiple Cabal and Fallen enemies will begin being deployed via Drop Pods and Skiffs respectively. These enemies begin assaulting your position—seeking to plunder the valuables you have collected—before their leader warps in at the underpass shortly afterwards to join in the fight. Cutlaaks wields a Molten Welder into battle, firing volleys of Solar blasts to bombard the Fireteam. They will often teleport up to either of the two platforms beside their spawn point, granting them the high ground and more effective range. If a player gets too close, the Captain can unleash a stomp attack to knock their enemies back and deal a good amount of damage. However, Cutlaaks does not possess any other, special abilities. Aside from their crewmates, they lack any defensive options and can be brought down quickly and easily. Once the Privateer and their allies have defeated, the activity will be complete, allowing players to open the end-of-mission chest and claim their Loot.

Trivia

  • Cutlaaks's name is a play on the word "cutlass," a short sword with a curved blade and a D-guard on the hilt, formerly used by sailors and pirates.
