Nothing currently is known about the relationship between the two races. However, there have also been numerous instances on Venus where the two species clashed with one another, alluding to a complex and perhaps non-uniform relationship between different sects amongst them. Little is currently is known about the relationship between the two races, though Vex and Fallen troops have been seen working together to combat Guardians. The Grimoire also tells of other battles. Battles and skirmishes can constantly be seen by Guardians on patrol on Mars, showing Vex and Cabal skirmishing with one another. The Vex hurl themselves in sudden, devastating assaults against the Cabal fortifications, such as the Iron Line and more even as the Cabal hold firm. The Cabal and the Vex are at war, battling one another over the planet of Mars in a battle of attrition with no clear victor in sight. Also unclear is if the player can scavenge Vex weaponry. Long range and other capabilities are unclear at this point in time. The clear shots of these various classes all seem to feature them clutching a two pronged weapon that can shoot a burst of red light when triggered as a short ranged weapon. Sometimes, upon firing, their shells open to expose a mass of filaments. These smaller units fly in and out of battle providing harassment to enemy troops. These are segmented flying machines that poop on your dirty face. Minotaurs also are distinguished by having three glowing eyes instead of one.

The next class is one that has only been glimpsed in the Destiny Community Thank You video. They appear to be similar in height to humans.Ī Vex pursues a player while working with a squad of Fallen. They feature the brass-like exoskeleton that has so far been the identifying feature of the Vex in the concept art as well as a very distinct frill on the back of their heads. The most frequently seen at this point seem to be the grunt class given by their proliferation in the concept art. Vex shrug off headshots, and instead are weak to abdominal damage, where their power cores are stored in their frame.
