Heavy Shanks were first created by the rising [[Archons]] of the [[House of Devils]] from Cosmodrome debris and cannibalised [[Servitor]] parts to infiltrate the vault of the [[Warmind]] [[Rasputin]] during the [[Taken War]].<ref>'''Bungie (2015/9/15)''', ''[[Destiny]], [[The Taken King]], [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire:Enemies/ | Heavy Shanks were first created by the rising [[Archons]] of the [[House of Devils]] from Cosmodrome debris and cannibalised [[Servitor]] parts to infiltrate the vault of the [[Warmind]] [[Rasputin]] during the [[Taken War]].<ref>'''Bungie (2015/9/15)''', ''[[Destiny]], [[The Taken King]] PlayStation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire:Enemies/Fallen_Leadership#S.A.B.E.R.-2|S.A.B.E.R.-2]]''</ref> | ||
A year later, amidst the [[SIVA Crisis]], the [[Devil Splicers]] created a variant called [[Voltage Eater]]s to defend [[Vosik, the Archpriest]] in their [[Wrath of the Machine|lair]].<ref>'''Bungie (2016/9/20)''', ''[[Destiny]], [[Rise of Iron]], [[Wrath of the Machine]]''</ref> By the time of the [[Red War]] the following year, the [[House of Dusk]] began mass-producing Heavy Shanks to provide fire support for scavenger crews.

Since then, Heavy Shanks have appeared across many Houses and other Fallen syndacates. | A year later, amidst the [[SIVA Crisis]], the [[Devil Splicers]] created a variant called [[Voltage Eater]]s to defend [[Vosik, the Archpriest]] in their [[Wrath of the Machine|lair]].<ref>'''Bungie (2016/9/20)''', ''[[Destiny]], [[Rise of Iron]] PlayStation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Wrath of the Machine]]''</ref> By the time of the [[Red War]] the following year, the [[House of Dusk]] began mass-producing Heavy Shanks to provide fire support for scavenger crews.

Heavy Shanks are | Heavy Shanks are quite possibly the most difficult Shank model to dispose of, given their bulkier chassis and upgraded firepower. Their Void turrets can lay waste to even the most resilient [[Guardian]]s, and are capable of taking more damage than any other Shank. However, Heavy Shanks are slow and cumbersome targets, making them vulnerable out in the open. Their weak spot is the purple vent on the front. | ||
