The Retina was a special Vex Cyclops found inside the Endless Gate in The Festering Core Strike. It was deployed for the purpose of protecting the Supercomputer from the Guardian and Taken assailants. When playing the Nightfall version of the strike, the Cyclops would be replaced by Zebios, the Ensnaring.[1]

Gameplay

The Retina will spawn alongside several other Vex units during the boss fight against Baurisk, Envoy of Savathûn, when it has retreated after losing a third of its health. The Major and it allies must be eliminated before the fight can resume. Just like the unique Quantum Cyclopses found throughout the earlier parts of the strike, the Retina is capable of detaining players within Suppression Fields, holding them in place until they are destroyed. This ability is telegraphed by the white and light-blue energy emitted by the Cyclops before it activates it.
