- "Shank-hunting is like pulling weeds. No sport in it—it just needs doing."
- — WANTED: Repeater Shank[1]
Repeater Shanks are a unique model of Shank belonging to the House of Wolves. In place of a standard Shank's weaponry, these Shanks have a built-in Repeater mini-gun, greatly increasing their firepower. During the Wolf Rebellion a group of Repeater Shanks were located in the N/Gen Branch on Venus, where they were subsequently dismantled by Guardians by order of the Queen's Wrath, Petra Venj.[2] They were also utilized by the Devil Splicers during the SIVA Crisis. However, Repeater Shanks would become discontinued after the events of SIVA Crisis, reasons unknown.
Variants
- Turret Shank
- Splicer Repeater Shank
- Splicer Turret Shank
- Elder Repeater Shank
Trivia
- Originally the Repeater Shanks usually bear the colors of the House of Wolves when they were first introduced. Around the time of The Taken King and Rise of Iron, the Repeater Shanks were recolored to match the colors of the Turret Shanks seen in Fallen S.A.B.E.R..
- The reason of this is unknown, but was presumably done so that the Repeater Shanks can be used by all Houses, as the House of Devils and the House of Winter were seen employing the Shanks into their arsenal.
