Gameplay

Expunge: Labyrinth/Corrupted Labyrinth

In the Expunge: Labyrinth mission, as well as its Corrupted variant, Elite-tier Nexus Guardian carry Data Spikes which they drop upon being killed. These Spikes can be carried to and deposited in nearby terminals, in order to disable barriers and continue progressing through the Vex Domain.[1][2]

Expunge: Styx/Corrupted Styx

In the Expunge: Styx mission, as well as its Corrupted variant, Nexus Guardians appear as Major-tier enemies, whose purpose is to maintain Vex barriers that the Authentication Keys are contained in, which are crucial to disabling other gates throughout the mission.[3][4]

Expunge: Delphi

The Nexus Guardians appear one last time in the Expunge: Delphi mission. Given that Delphi is a combination of all three corrupted Expunge activities, the Harpies the exact same purposes as they do in the Labyrinth and Styx.[5]
