Complete Guide to The Scorn, Destiny 2: Forsaken’s New Enemy

In Destiny 2: Forsaken Guardians will encounter a new type of enemy; The Scorn. Here’s everything we know about them so far.

In Bungie’s first significant expansion to Destiny 2, Guardians are introduced to The Scorn, a new faction of enemies made up of Fallen pirates from the Prison of Elders. This arena played a major part in Destiny and is getting a second look in Forsaken as Guardians head to the Reef to explore. This guide will provide an overview of everything we know about The Scorn.

The Scorn – The Eight Barons

The Scorn are ruled by eight Fallen Barons, made infamous in the Stand of the Last Gunslinger trailer. The Barons will play a major role in Destiny 2: Forsaken and are made up of the following:

The Fanatic

The leader of the Scorn, who he created from his experiments inside the Prison of the Elders.

The Machinist

The Machinist is the second-in-command of the Scorn and specializes in munitions and weapon-crafting.

The Mindbender

This Scorn baron is obsessed with the Hive and has his own Ascendant Realm.

The Trickster

This Scorn baron likes to lure his enemies into traps to defeat them.

The Hangman

The Hangman is the Scorn’s baron in charge of executing those that defy the rule of the barons.

The Mad Bomber

Clearly, this baron is not in full control of his facilities and enjoys peppering his enemies with void bombs.

The Rifleman

This Scorn baron is an expert marksman and scout and has several confirmed kills of Guardians and Awoken Paladins. He’s likely to blame for the destruction of Cayde-6’s ghost.

The Rider

If you thought that Pike gangs are annoying, then you’ll have this Scorn baron to blame. He leads the Scorn Pike gangs with an iron fist.

Other Scorn Units

The following enemy types support the eight barons of the Scorn in their attempt to dominate the Reef and stomp out the Guardians’ presence.

Screebs

The Screeb is a quadrupedal Scorn unit that explodes near Guardians, similar to Cursed Thralls.

Stalkers

Stalkers are a basic Dreg unit that makes up the bulk of the Scorn army.

Ravagers

These large Scorn units wield a flaming cauldron that they use to charge their opponents with.

Wraiths

Wraiths are not unlike Ravagers and enjoying charging their foes with their dual flame torches.

Raiders

Raiders are the Scorn’s sniper unit armed with void rifles and sawblade launchers. Naturally, they can also teleport.

Lurkers

A mid-sized Scorn unit similar to Stalkers but armed with shrapnel pistols and a small shield.

Mongrels (Abominations)

These Ogre-sized beasts shoot lightning out of their hands. That sounds like fun to deal with.

Chieftains

The Chieftains are the Scorn’s version of a Captain that can place elemental totems with a variety of area effects.

Fallen Walkers

Finally, the Scorn also feature a unique variant of the Fallen Walker that replaces the main cannon with a powerful shield generator.
