Tormentors have stood out as one of Destiny 2's strongest and most unique adversaries since their introduction, but a pretty awesome clip making the rounds online shows how one player put the pain on a Tormentor after they managed to escape its Dark Harvest attack during the last moments of an Onslaught game.

This attack, an ability known as Dark Harvest, usually spells the end for an already wounded Guardian. That said, a fan known as iHeisenburger recently shared an awesome moment they captured in the game which shows them defying a Tormentor's lethal embrace and somewhat reversing the attack on them. This occurred during the heatwave that sometimes triggers upon the completion of a round in Onslaught in Destiny 2, which challenges players with slaying as many Tormentors as possible within a time limit. The clip itself shows the player managing to escape a Tormentor's grip and executing a finisher of their own, making for an impressively cinematic moment.

Though they can be quite a challenge for newer Guardians to destroy, the popularity of Tormentors with
