In Destiny 2, the Cabal Phalanx received a major upgrade.
Because they’re part of the Red Legion elite force, their shields now extend to the sides, completely covering them and anyone close to them. If you played Destiny 2, you’ll know how annoying this can be.
In Destiny 1, Phalanx shields covered most of their body, but conveniently left a tiny bit of their right arm for you to shoot. Shooting it would stun them, forcing them to lower their shields. In Destiny 2, however, the extended shield makes this impossible.
But there’s in fact a weakness, and it’s completely obvious. Spotted by Gamespot, that trick is to basically shoot the red glowing spot in the middle. Doesn’t matter if the shield is extended or not, it’ll always do crit damage, and after a couple of shots, it’ll stun them, leaving them unprotected for a bit.
As the site points out, when you spend years playing Destiny 1, knowing that you can’t shoot through Cabal shields, you stop looking for weak spots on the shield itself and start exploring other avenues. Throwing grenades and getting behind them quickly works still, but how straightforward this trick is will catch many by surprise.
If you’re a veteran Destiny player, or only just decided to see what the fuss is about with Destiny 2, why not pay our handsome Destiny 2 guide a visit? We’ve been playing Destiny 2 and we managed to collect a wealth of knowledge in many easy-to-read pages.
