Heavy Shanks are a unique Shank variant belonging to the Fallen.
History
Heavy Shanks were first created by the rising Archons of the House of Devils, specifically to infiltrate the vault of the Warmind Rasputin during the Taken War. During the SIVA Crisis, the Devil Splicers utilized Voltage Eaters to drain the voltage from the Guardians who are attempting to take down Vosik, the Archpriest. By the time of the Red War, two years later, the House of Dusk has mass-produced Heavy Shanks to provide fire support for scavenger crews. Heavy shanks use the same model as S.A.B.E.R.-2, but only have void turrets as a weapon.
Gameplay
Heavy Shanks are quite possibly the most difficult Shank model to dispose of, given their bulkier chassis and upgraded firepower. Their Void turrets can lay waste to even the most resilient Guardians, and are capable of taking more damage than any other Shank. However, Heavy Shanks are slow and cumbersome targets, making them vulnerable out in the open. Their weak spot is the purple vent on the front.
