==Overview== | ==Overview== | ||
Exploder Shanks | Exploder Shanks have been outfitted with high yield explosives by their Fallen creators, and sent to destroy themselves near strong opposition. Originally employed by the [[House of Wolves]], they were later adopted by all the Houses in the Solar System. The Wolves' model have less conspicuous explosives, better integrated in their chassis, while the models seen with the [[House of Dusk]] and later syndacates feature red hot bombs more crudely strapped onto their chassis, alongside bolted-on pieces of scrap that almost hide their house livery. | ||
==Gameplay== | |||
Exploder Shanks will explode when they approach an enemy or if shot at, similar to a [[Cursed Thrall]] or a [[Vex]] [[Fanatic]]. They are usually sent out in groups, alone or with other Shanks. They can be detected from their constant beeping sound, and will gather energy for a split second before detonating on their own. Thanks to their flight, they can be considerably more dangerous than other suicide units. In ''[[Destiny]]'' the Exploder Shank's payload deals [[Arc]] damage, while in ''[[Destiny 2]]'' they deal [[Solar]] damage. | |||

=== | ==Trivia== | ||
*Originally the Exploder Shanks usually bore the colors of the [[House of Wolves]] when they were first introduced. Around the time of [[The Taken King]] and [[Rise of Iron]], the Exploder Shanks were recolored blue and white much like the ones that were 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]] were seen employing the Shanks into their arsenal. | |||
