Overcharge Shank

Overview

Overcharge Shanks are a variant of Exploder Shanks, identified by the electricity running across their bodies. They first appeared with the crew of Thaviks, the Depraved in Exodus Crash.

Behavior

Rather than rushing at players, Overcharge Shanks fly to floor sections marked by cable patterns and hover there. While in place they electrify the floor, which slows and damages players and prevents jumping. Destroying the Shank stops the electrification, but doing so while standing on the plate is dangerous because the explosion can catch the player.

Later versions of the mission, including House of Salvation, also use them, as does Kell's Scourge when defending the Lost Forges.
