The '''Cyclops''' is a huge, stationary [[Vex]] unit with a powerful [[Void]] weapon. <ref>'''Bungie (2014/9/9)''', ''[[Destiny]] | The '''Cyclops''' is a huge, stationary [[Vex]] unit with a powerful [[Void]] weapon. <ref>'''Bungie (2014/9/9)''', ''[[Destiny]], [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire:Enemies/Vex Arsenal#Cyclops|Cyclops]]''</ref> | ||

Cyclopes act as artillery units - installed to protect key points with devastating mortar fire, though some evidence suggested that the Cyclops was in fact an enormous sensor or beacon, and that its defensive capabilities were secondary. This was disproven during the [[Infinite Forest]] crisis with the instance of [[Dendron, Root Mind]] - an Axis Mind who appeared in the form of a Cyclops.<ref>'''Bungie (2014/9/9)''', ''[[Destiny]] | Cyclopes act as artillery units - installed to protect key points with devastating mortar fire, though some evidence suggested that the Cyclops was in fact an enormous sensor or beacon, and that its defensive capabilities were secondary.

A Cyclops fires large mortar rounds that deal very high damage [[Guardian]]s in their blast radius, and are capable of tanking numerous attacks, making them a dangerous priority target when present. Shooting a Cyclops in the eye will deal critical damage. However when damaged there, a Cyclops will enter a confused state, firing [[Torch Hammer]]-like bolts wildly and without focus. This can result in friendly fire on the part of the Cyclops. A Cyclops' actual weak spot is behind its back, in a small diagonal protuberance containing its [[Radiolaria]] core. <ref>'''Bungie (2014/9/9)''', ''[[Destiny]] | A Cyclops fires large mortar rounds that deal very high damage [[Guardian]]s in their blast radius, and are capable of tanking numerous attacks, making them a dangerous priority target when present.

Cyclopes in ''[[Destiny 2]]'' gained armor plating surrounding their eye region, protecting them from damage unless struck there. They are otherwise unchanged. | ||
