View source for S.A.B.E.R.-2


'''S.A.B.E.R.-2''' is a modified [[shank]] built by aspiring [[Fallen]] [[Archon|Archons]] out of [[servitor]] parts and [[Cosmodrome]] tech to counter [[Rasputin]]'s defenses and breach his firewalls, so that the [[House of Devils]] may gain control of his [[Warsat]] network. In fact, it has partially shown to do this in battle, as it is capable of altering the environment via heatsinks and blast shields. The shank is equipped with a number of conventional weapons as well, making it a threat to any [[Guardian]] who attempts to stop it.

==Gameplay==
S.A.B.E.R.-2 has three different attack modes depending on health remaining. It starts by firing a solar-damage wire rifle mounted to the top of its head. It is deadly accurate with this weapon and can be used to quickly kill Guardians in just a few well-placed long range shots. However, this weapon does take time to charge. Try strafing to avoid its shots. Its weak spot are its forward thrusters. After the thrusters are destroyed, it switches to dual Void damage chainguns. They can easily sweep the battlefield of close t
o midrange attackers due to their fast rate of fire and surprisingly high damage output. The player's best bet is to back away and fight back at range. Its new weak spot is the purple vent on the top of its head. After it has been damaged enough, its head will expose its internal wiring and will start aggressively pursuing Guardians and hitting them with its short-range arc blast attack. This is arguably S.A.B.E.R-2's deadliest attack due to its 1-hit kill potential. The player being chased will then be forced to run away and occasionally turn around to face S.A.B.E.R-2 and fire off a few shots at it. The new weak spot is its exposed internal workings.
