'''Splicer Vandals''' are [[Fallen]] [[Vandal]]s warped and twisted by [[SIVA]]. They are armed with [[Solar]] versions of [[Wire Rifle]]s and [[Shock Rifle]]s modified by the technovirus, which fire red-colored blasts.<ref>[http://www.dailydot.com/parsec/destiny-rise-of-iron-new-strike-the-wretched-eye/ Destiny: Rise of Iron - New Strike: The Wretched Eye]</ref>

==Gameplay==

Splicer Vandals have gone through significant improvements due to being infused with [[SIVA]]. For instance, their [[Shock Rifle]]s no longer fire slow seeking bolts. Instead, they function more like [[Machine gun|machine gun]]s with a much faster rate of fire and muzzle velocity. Also, their [[Wire Rifle]]s now fire in bursts, inflicting much more damage than before. As deadly as Splicer Vandals are from range, however, it is best not to press them into engaging in melee combat, for that if they are near-death, they will regenerate health at a very rapid rate and charge down [[Guardian]]s to land a powerful melee attack, much like [[Hive]] [[Knight]]s and [[Ogre]]s. Therefore, it is best to engage them with high-impact weaponry so they do not get the chance to enter berserk mode.
