'''S.A.B.E.R.-2''' | '''S.A.B.E.R.-2''' is a modified [[Shank]] built by aspiring [[Fallen]] [[Archon|Archons]] out of [[servitor]] parts and [[Cosmodrome]] tech to counter [[Rasputin]]'s defenses and breach his firewalls, so that the [[House of Devils]] may gain control of his [[Warsat]] network. In fact, it has partially shown to do this in battle, as it is capable of altering the environment via heatsinks and blast shields, which will make those areas unsafe. The Shank is equipped with a number of conventional weapons as well, making it a threat to any [[Guardian]] who attempts to stop it. | ||

After the thrusters are destroyed, it switches to dual Void-damage chainguns. They can easily sweep the battlefield of close to midrange attackers due to their fast rate of fire and surprisingly high damage output. The player's best bet is to back away and fight back at range. Its new weak spot is the purple vent on the top of its head. | After the thrusters are destroyed, it switches to dual Void-damage chainguns.

After it has been damaged enough, its head will expose its internal wiring and will start aggressively pursuing Guardians and hitting them with its short-range Arc-blast attack. This is arguably S.A.B.E.R-2's deadliest attack due to its 1-hit kill potential. The player being chased will then be forced to run away and occasionally turn around to face S.A.B.E.R-2 and fire off a few shots at it.
