'''Shanks''' are small flying robotic drones used by the [[Fallen]].<ref>'''Bungie (2014/9/9)''', ''[[Destiny]]: Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire:Enemies/Fallen#Shank|Shank]]''</ref> | |||
==Overview== | |||
Shanks are small floating drones employed by the [[Fallen]] as scouts, fire support or to serve as a distraction. They are propelled by a pair of vertical jet engines which allow them to both fly and hover in the air. Standard shanks are only equipped with a weak Arc-based weapon and are rather fragile in that they can be destroyed in only a few shots.<ref name="2013 E3 Demo">[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cXTXPe7JIUk&list=HL1371050939&feature=mh_lolz E3 2013 '''YouTube''': ''Destiny Gameplay Demo'']</ref> Although, during [[Nightfall]] Strikes and certain [[Public Event]]s, Shanks can have a Solar shield making them more difficult to dispatch. | |||
Individually they are little more than a nuisance, but they are often found in swarms or as part of a larger group of [[Fallen]] which makes them considerably more dangerous. They can also be spawned during battles with [[Fallen]] [[Arsenal Walker|Walkers]].<ref name=E3 Demo BTS>[http://www.bungie.net/7_Building-the-Destiny-E3-Reveal/en-us/News/News?aid=10838 '''Bungie.net''': ''Building the Destiny E3 Reveal'']</ref> | |||
In addition to the standard Shanks, some Fallen Houses also employ different varieties which possess different characteristics. For example, the [[House of Wolves]] utilize [[Repeater Shank]]s, which act as fire support, [[Exploder Shank]]s, which act as a kamikaze unit, and [[Tracer Shank]]s, which act as snipers. | |||
