-==Overview==
+==Gameplay==
-Fanatics are glitched Vex units that seek to infect their opponents with their viscous radiolarian fluid. As they charge toward opponents, they emit loud, glitched screams from their chassis.  They resemble normal Vex Goblins, but they move in a jerky, unfocused manner, possess a strange stub-like head and are missing their left arm, with wires coming out of the place where an arm would be.  They will move toward guardians and fire their [[Slap Rifle|Slap Rifle]], then glow blue and explode if they get too close.
+In their first appearance in the [[Vault of Glass]] [[Raid]], Fanatics resemble standard Goblins who have been decapitated, and will glow and sparkle green. Upon being destroyed, they will leave behind a green pool. Should a player step into this pool or come into contact with the Fanatic itself, they will be afflicted with the “Mark of Negation” debuff, and only have a few seconds until they are killed by the [[Templar]]’s Ritual of Negation.
-==Gameplay==
+In Destiny 2, Fanatics will slowly advance toward the player while firing on them with their [[Slap Rifle]] and emitting glitched screams. Once they get too close or are damaged enough, they will explode, leaving behind a pool of [[Radiolaria]] which damages those who step into it.
-Fanatics serve a purpose as cannon-fodder Vex enemies, seeking to explode upon contact with enemy forces. In the [[Vault of Glass]] [[Raid]] they glow green with the Mark of Negation and attempt to infect Guardians by either exploding upon contact or leaving numerous pools of green for the unwary to step in.

 *In Destiny 2, they serve a similar purpose to [[Cursed Thrall]], such as exploding when a [[Guardian]] gets too close. This makes the fanatic the third kamikaze unit to appear in the Destiny series, following the Cursed Thrall and Exploder Shank.
 *Their first and only appearance in the original destiny series was in the [[Vault of Glass (Raid)]] during the fight with the [[Templar]].
-*If a fanatic is wounded but not killed, Finishers can be used on them.  As with Cursed Thralls and Exploder Shanks, Most finishers will send the fanatic flying with a delayed detonation.  This means that fanatics can be used as a sort of makeshift bomb, launched backwards into the ranks of their allies and used to destroy other Vex.
