Shifting Gears

FM: Hey, Guardian, I have an interesting favor of you. A heist, for Fallen and Cabal technology; Spefically, their vehicles. Don't get me wrong, Sparrows and jumpships are nice, but the Frontiersmen need heavier equipment, sometimes. Plus, it'd be of great help to the Scars and Scorchers...Sparrow Transmats aren't working for them. More details when you land!

The Guardian lands of the ruins of Deimos, atop the Battered Hills.

Ghost: Alright, what's our first target?

FM: A group of Pikes & Skiffs, controlled by the House of Flames within Scarship Zeta-Syn. Count Beriks will give you more info.

Beriks: Yess....The Pikes. Within the loading bay of Ketch. Guarded by Fallen Engineers, led by Talik, former Scar Archon. Traitors will get their due, Guardian. Leave nothing but scars...

FM: Yep, Scars, Fallen Engineers, etc...Seriously, Beriks, just get to the point.

''Beriks growls on the comms as the Guardian moves towards Zeta-Syn. They fight their way through Flame Stealth Vandals, Captains, and Servitors, before reaching a locked door to the loading bay.''

Ghost: Locked door. Well, my job never gets old! Let me in, Guar-

FM: No need, Ghost. The Pikes to your left? Use one of them to break through the doors. Pikes have very heavy fronts, ideal for smashing things.

Ghost: You seem to know what you're talking about...

FM: Of course! Vehicles are like silent friends in a Fireteam of overzealous Titans, talkative Warlocks, annoying Hunters...I know a lot about them, from Sparrows to Interceptors.

Ghost: *whispers* You're not like that. You're more of a strong, silent type. I'm happy with that.

The Guardian breaks through the doors, where a enormous House of Flames force reside.

Beriks: *Growls* Too many of them! Turrets, around the room, find them!

Ghost: Found some! Marking them for you!

''The Guardian shoots them all down, with assistance from turrets. Tanik, Traitorous Archon, quickly runs into a Skiff and zooms out of the loading bay.''

Beriks: *growls* Add Cowardous to his title...But, you have murdered Flames, Guardian, good work. Now, transmat the equipment.

Ghost: Right on it. Getting each individual one would be too much work, though...Get to the top of the loading bay, and I can mass transmat them!

Beriks: Clever Ghost...The Great Machine does well for you, Guardian. You have my respect.

''The Guardian gets to the highest point of the loading bay and starts transmitting the equipment. Once done...''

Ghost: Right, now we are after the Cabal equipment. Harvesters & Interceptors?

FM: That's right! The Burning Legion is getting a shipment of vehicles, not so coincedentally...

Ghost: What do you mean?

FM: Simple. I got one of Va'akirn's Colussi to disguise as a Broken Legion scout, who said the Legion was mounting an attack against a Guardian outpost here. And so, the equipment is ours. Deception is the ultimate weapon of war, Guardian.

The Guardian makes their way to a Firebase: Outside several Cabal stand waiting for Broken Legion forces; The Guardian murders them before hearing a Cabal commander yell something to a Guardian from inside the base, and the door to the base opening.

FM:....Va'akirn, what'd he say!?

Va'akirn:...He calls you out, Guardian. This is a challenge of war, and he wants you inside one of those Interceptors to face him in his own.

FM: So this is a demolition derby, basically!?....Oooooh, how I envy you, Guardian. Still, this won't be easy. Put the pedal to the floor, and murder that commander. Remember, our one goal: Survive!

''The Guardian gets into an Interceptor, resulting in the Burning Legion Ultra, Commander Ro'oun, to drive out in his own, modified Interceptor. A short firefight in the vehicles occurs, resulting in the destruction of the Interceptor. Ro'olan barely survives, and he falls to the ground, on his knees. You can either shoot him or leave him be: He will die either way, by himself or by you.''

FM: Man, I wish I was there.....Well, nice work, Guardian. Mass transmat the equipment to the Hangar again, and head back.

''The Guardian gets to the top of the Firebase, overlooking the equipment. A short scan, and the mission ends.''

Okay, this is how the boss fight with Ro'oun works.
 * The modified Interceptor is similiar to a Goliath Tank, with two large Solar Projection Rifles attached to the sides. For the first part of the fight, he will fire the cannons and a small Void machine gun at the bottom of the vehicle.
 * At 65%, the Interceptor will forms shield around itself to regenerate health: During this, all shots fired will have no effect: You have to ram into him to destroy the shields. He can still fire out of the shields, though, so you have to figure out how to get close enough to boost into him and not get destroyed. Rinse and repeat.
 * At 35%, a large Arc cannon comes out of the back of the vehicle: Once launched, an Arc projectile will chase you around while the fight is going on: To get rid of it, you must lead it into Ro'oun, causing extra damage and stunning him for 10 seconds. Once at 1% Health, his shields will raise once last time, and you must ram into him one last time to end the fight. Be mindful of the explosion.

Just some overview of Exotic weapons we have came up with: A Fusion Rifle that launches free-flying, target-seeking Arc projectiles. A Rocket Launcher with bouncing capabilities and blinds targets on hit. An Auto Rifle that can switch between damage types, grants an increasing shield on kill, and the ability to explode into Solar projectiles on kill. A Rocket Launcher that functions like a Scorch Cannon: Has a perk with a combination of all three HoW exotics.
