History of Hobgoblin

Overview

Hobgoblins are Vex snipers that hang back and fire a Solar Line Rifle. They can also throw Void Slap Grenades to force Guardians out of cover. When hit, a Hobgoblin seals itself inside a regenerating shield that burns Guardians who step into it. Anti-Barrier properties can damage it while it is shielded. Its abdomen mind core is the weak point. They are the long-range counterpart of the Goblin.
