Lurkers are a shield-bearing Scorn unit.
Overview
Lurkers are Scorn warriors equipped with a gladiatorial shield to block incoming damage for themselves and their allies, and Scorn Pistols to attack from short-middle range. They primarily stand in front of hordes of Scorn or important commanders, and move in to catch enemy fire with their shields. While similar in role to the Cabal Phalanx, their smaller shields and low health make it easier to shoot at their legs or heads, staggering them.[1]
