Gameplay

Interceptor Pilots are almost exclusively encountered aboard an Interceptor. They keep away from the enemy and bombard them with the vehicle's cannons. They are slippery, and rather quick to reposition after noticing a foe flanking them. The height and width of the vehicle protects them from ground level headshots, and guardians will need to jump or otherwise reach higher ground to shoot them effectively. Also, they will usually die in the destruction of their vehicle.

Trivia

• Interceptor Pilots used to gain Void Absorption Shields that also protected their Interceptor with the Shielded Foes Modifier. This was removed with the release of Lightfall for unknown reasons.
• Dismounted Inteceptor Pilots can be encountered in the transition between the first and second encounter of the Root of Nightmares Raid. It is unknown if this is a developer oversight.
