'''Repeater Shanks''' are a unique model of [[Shank]] belonging to the [[House of Wolves]]. In place of a standard Shank's weaponry, these Shanks have a built-in Repeater mini-gun, greatly increasing their firepower. During the [[Wolf Rebellion]] a group of powerful Repeater Shanks were located in the [[N/Gen Branch]] on [[Venus]], where they were subsequently dismantled by [[Guardian]]s by order of the [[Queen's Wrath]], [[Petra Venj]].<ref>'''Bungie (2014/5/19)''', ''[[Destiny]]: [[House of Wolves (expansion)|House of Wolves]]''</ref> They were also utilized by the [[Devil Splicers]] during the [[SIVA Crisis]]. However, Repeater Shanks would become discontinued after the events of SIVA Crisis, reasons unknown.

==Trivia==
*Repeater 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 Repeater Shanks were recolored to match the colors of the Turret Shanks 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]] and the [[House of Winter]] were seen employing the Shanks into their arsenal.
