Heavy Shanks were first created by the rising [[Archons]] of the [[House of Devils]] from Cosmodrome debris and cannibalised [[Servitor]] parts to infiltrate the vault of the [[Warmind]] [[Rasputin]] during the [[Taken War]].<ref>'''Bungie (2015/9/15)''', ''[[Destiny]], [[The Taken King]] | Heavy Shanks were first created by the rising [[Archons]] of the [[House of Devils]] from Cosmodrome debris and cannibalised [[Servitor]] parts to infiltrate the vault of the [[Warmind]] [[Rasputin]] during the [[Taken War]].<ref>'''Bungie (2015/9/15)''', ''[[Destiny]], [[The Taken King]], [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire:Enemies/Fallen Leadership#S.A.B.E.R.-2|S.A.B.E.R.-2]]''</ref> | ||
A year later, amidst the [[SIVA Crisis]], the [[Devil Splicers]] created a variant called [[Voltage Eater]]s to defend [[Vosik, the Archpriest]] in their [[Wrath of the Machine|lair]].<ref>'''Bungie (2016/9/20)''', ''[[Destiny]], [[Rise of Iron]] | A year later, amidst the [[SIVA Crisis]], the [[Devil Splicers]] created a variant called [[Voltage Eater]]s to defend [[Vosik, the Archpriest]] in their [[Wrath of the Machine|lair]].<ref>'''Bungie (2016/9/20)''', ''[[Destiny]], [[Rise of Iron]], [[Wrath of the Machine]]''</ref> By the time of the [[Red War]] the following year, the [[House of Dusk]] began mass-producing Heavy Shanks to provide fire support for scavenger crews. These Heavy Shanks use the same model as [[S.A.B.E.R.-2]], but are armed only with void turrets. Since then, Heavy Shanks have appeared across many Houses and other Fallen syndacates. | ||

Heavy Shanks are | Heavy Shanks are heavyweight units on par with [[Captain]]s and [[Servitor]]s. Like their smaller counterparts, Heavy Shanks are fully capable of flight, allowing them to attack from unexpected directions. Although they have a weak spot, the vent on their front, they posses very high health. Their armament consists of a pair of heavy turrets mounted under their chassis that inflict [[Void]] damage. These turrets can fire independently of the direction the Heavy Shank is turned towards, allowing them to shoot at targers behind themselves, or fire at two foes simultaneously. On top of that, Heavy Shanks always gain [[Solar]] [[Absorption Shield]]s with the default Shielded Foes [[Modifier]], independently of the Hot Knife modifier that specifically shields Shanks. | ||
On the other hand, Heavy Shanks are much slower and noisier than their smaller counterparts, allowing players to detect and evade them more easily. They also lack any sort of melee attack. | |||
