Minotaur

Overview

Minotaurs are heavy Vex infantry and the collective's main builders, described as its "Mobile Foundry". Many named Vex Minds take Minotaur form. They are the workhorses that raise much of the Vex's machinery, and they spend much of their processing power planning and building large Vex structures that may span multiple dimensions. The Abstract Gate Lord is a Minotaur variant.

Weapons and abilities

• Torch Hammer (Void): a heavy weapon that fires projectiles of strange matter.
• Vex Laser Rifle (Void): added in Destiny 2, it can melt Guardian shields in seconds.
• They have high durability, rapid movement and teleport erratically to flank Guardians from different angles.
• They are protected by a Void Absorption Shield, which must be stripped with Void damage. In Berserk Mode they fire rapidly and charge while punching through shields.
• Their melee is Kinetic.

Weak spots

In Destiny, Minotaurs had no abdominal weak spot: shooting off the head disabled their teleportation and shield, but also triggered Berserk Mode. In Destiny 2 they have visible critical spots, the precision target being the abdomen (mind core). Keep moving so charges and teleports cannot pin you.
