Combat information

The Minotaur is a thick Vex model and is harder to kill than any other Vex unit.

Overview

Minotaurs are some of the deadliest Vex troops Guardians will ever encounter due to their explosive weaponry and unpredictable movements, but aside from combat most of their processing power is devoted to the physics of building massive Vex structures suspected to span multiple dimensions. Minotaurs are equipped with Torch Hammers, a devastating heavy weapon that fires projectiles of strange matter and mauls targets with exotic particle decay and deadly radiation.

Gameplay

Minotaurs are fearless Vex that will always charge their targets while firing their Torch Hammers and will erratically teleport while doing so to flank Guardians at different angles. To reinforce their armor, they are also equipped with a Void shield. One important thing to note about Vex Minotaurs is that they lack a weak spot. Although shooting a Minotaur's head off will disable its teleportation ability as well as its shield, it will only become even more dangerous, going berserk and firing their Torch Hammers in rapid succession while charging Guardians. In this state, they can punch through a Guardian's shield in seconds.
