Gameplay

Legionaries are aggressive, armored, and deadly, and should be treated as such. They usually come armed with the Cabal standard-issue Slug Rifle, but some of them have access to the Projection Rifle, thus receiving a straight upgrade in weaponry. They are the grunts of the Cabal, but are still a threat, especially when supported by Centurions and Phalanxes. They are not a massive threat, but are still advisable to eliminate first, as the sheer weight of firepower they lay down when in a large group will kill inexperienced Guardians with ease. Well-placed headshots will easily kill them.

Variants
