"Seems like the Fallen have an endless supply of these floating death-machines. No matter. Anything they spit out, we'll toss right back."
— WANTED: Tracer Shank[1]

Tracer Shanks are a unique model of Shank belonging to the Fallen.[1] 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.

During the Wolf Rebellion a group of Tracer Shanks were located in The Breach of the Cosmodrome Wall. They were subsequently destroyed by Guardians on orders of the Queen's Wrath, Petra Venj.[2]

During the Red War, Tracer Shanks were used by the House of Dusk.

Trivia

  • Originally the Tracer Shanks usually bear 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.
  • Most curiously, the Tracer Shanks employed by the House of Salvation fire projectiles similar to the Arc turrets that regular Shanks are armed with rather than Wire Rifle projectiles.
