Wyverns are the elite Vex units that can strike fear into even the most seasoned Destiny 2 guardians. And they’re getting even deadlier when Echoes’ Act Two arrives next week—at least within the new activity.

Echoes' Act Two brings three Battlegrounds missions as part of the story, and players may notice that wyverns are teleporting, though this is not due to server lag. Wyverns will be able to teleport within the new Battlegrounds missions, Bungie confirmed during a dev stream today, though it's unclear if the new ability will apply to them outside of the new Destiny 2 activities.
“With the narrative of the Vex evolving and changing, I went ahead and adapted an existing Wyvern,” senior activity designer Ryan Harris said in today’s Echoes Act Two livestream, before jokingly apologizing. “You’ll interact with these Wyverns in pairs. They have a special new ability where they can teleport around you and dodge.”
“They're definitely an active threat on the battlefield and I wanted players to really be on their guard, engage with them and consider them a priority target when they're seen,” he added.
