==Overview== | |||
In place of a standard Shank's weaponry, Tracer Shanks have a built-in [[Wire Rifle]], allowing them to snipe hostiles from long range as effectively as any [[Vandal]]. Their rifle is also mounted on top of their chassis rather than the bottom, and they have a different sensory array. They were first introduced by the [[House of Wolves]], but in time all Houses and syndacates adopted them in their ranks. | |||
During the [[ | During the [[Wolf Rebellion]] a group of Tracer Shanks were located in [[The Breach]] of the [[Cosmodrome]] Wall. They were subsequently destroyed by [[Guardian]]s on orders of the [[Queen's Wrath]], [[Petra Venj]].<ref>'''Bungie (2014/5/19)''', ''[[Destiny]]: [[House of Wolves (expansion)|House of Wolves]]''</ref> | ||
==Gameplay== | |||
Tracer Shanks combine the threat of a Shank with that of a Vandal. They can fire from extreme distances, and from unexpected angles thanks to their ability to fly. This also allows them to easily bypass cover. That said, they are still weak like their regular models, and are still destroyed after very little damage. They are also deployed in fewer numbers than their fellows, and their movement speed is lower than that of a scuttling Vandal. | |||

==Trivia== | |||
*Tracer Shanks bore the colors of the [[House of Wolves]] when they were first introduced. Around the time of [[The Taken King]] and [[Rise of Iron]], they were recolored to match the colors of the Sniper Shanks seen in [[Fallen S.A.B.E.R.]]. | |||
**The reason of this is unknown, but was presumably done so that the Tracer 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. | |||
*For a while, Tracer Shanks employed by the [[House of Salvation]] fired projectiles similar to the [[Arc]] turrets that regular Shanks are armed with rather than Wire Rifle projectiles. This issue seems to have been rectified as of now with them firing normal Wire Rifle projectiles. | |||
