Splicer Vandals have gone through significant improvements due to being infused with [[SIVA]]. For instance, their [[Shock Rifle]]s no longer fire slow seeking bolts.

Also, their [[Wire Rifle]]s now fire in bursts, inflicting much more damage than before. As deadly as Splicer Vandals are from range, however, it is best not to press them into engaging in melee combat, for that if they are near-death, they will regenerate health at a very rapid rate and charge down [[Guardian]]s to land a powerful melee attack, much like [[Hive]] [[Knight]]s and [[Ogre]]s. Therefore, it is best to engage them with high-impact weaponry so they do not get the chance to enter berserk mode.

Gameplay
Splicer Vandals have gone through significant improvements due to being infused with SIVA. For instance, their Shock Rifles no longer fire slow seeking bolts. Instead, they function more like machine guns with a much faster rate of fire and muzzle velocity. Also, their Wire Rifles now fire in bursts, inflicting much more damage than before. As deadly as Splicer Vandals are from range, however, it is best not to press them into engaging in melee combat, for that if they are near-death, they will regenerate health at a very rapid rate and charge down Guardians to land a powerful melee attack, much like Hive Knights and Ogres. Therefore, it is best to engage them with high-impact weaponry so they do not get the chance to enter berserk mode and even regain some of it's health. Like all Devil Splicers when killed with a head shot they will occasionally shoot out a homing SIVA swarm called a Splicer Seeker at the nearest hostile.
