Sentry Shanks are a unique variant of Shank deployed by the Fallen to guard their encampments.

Overview

The basic shank chassis, retrofitted for sentry duty. Where most shanks carry underslung weapons or Wire Rifles on their tops, sentry shanks forgo offensive capabilities in favor of a much more extensive sensor package rigged with a networked alarm system. The components used in constructing these shanks’ sensory gear are much more valuable than the standard sensor array attached to most shanks, so the Fallen only use them when they feel a particularly keen need to guard something with extra care. Since they are unarmed, sentry shanks are rarely deployed alone. Even if their alarm appears to call no immediate response, it never goes unheeded.

Gameplay

Sentry Shanks are security drones that do not have any direct attack methods, but instead have detection gazes that look out for intruders. Once it locates a target, it will fully shield itself and call for Fallen reinforcements. These Fallen must be killed to disable its shield. Once its shield is down, it can then be killed.

Trivia

• Sentry Shanks are the Fallen equivalent to the Watchers of the Cabal.
