==Gameplay==
Dregs are a cannon fodder type enemy. They are fielded in large groups and sent forth to catch enemy fire, or overwhelm them with numbers. They almost always use a [[Shock Pistol]] paired with a [[Shock Dagger]], both not powerful weapons, but deadly in large numbers. They are also equipped with [[Shock Grenade]]s they use to drive enemies out of cover. Rarely they are given [[Shrapnel Launcher]]s, and high ranking ones sometimes have [[Molten Welder]]s. Sometimes they also go into battle with paired Shock Daggers, in which case they will rush the player to cut them, though they lost this loadout in ''[[Destiny 2]]'', being replaced in spirit by [[Wretch]]es. Dregs are weak, usually dying from a single headshot with almost any weapon, and will run away cowering when their leaders or fellows die.
