==Overview==
Lurkers are Scorn warriors that have the ability to block enemy fire with a shield, similar to a Guardian [[Sentinel]] or a Cabal Phalanx. They primarily work to protect their allies in battle. Their legs are a weak spot.<ref>''Game Informer #104: At the Crossroads''</ref>
Lurkers are Scorn warriors equipped with a [[Fallen Shield|gladiatorial shield]] to block incoming damage for themselves and their allies, and [[Scorn Pistol]]s 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.<ref>''Game Informer #104: At the Crossroads''</ref>
