Shield Lancer

Shield Lancers carry large metal shields in one hand and a Sicarus pistol in the other. They slowly press forward while firing over their shields. Nearby Grineer will often use them as mobile cover to variable effectiveness. Shield Lancers will also use their shields as impromptu battering rams to knock players off their feet, often doing so when a player comes too close.

Melee attacks completely bypass shields. A jumping kick will knock Shield Lancers to the ground. Accurate players can damage Shield Lancers through the opening near the top of their shields. Mag's Pull is capable of removing the shield from its wielder, as will Loki's Radial Disarm. Their shields can be pierced by a puncture mod, such as Metal Auger, Seeker, and Seeking Force.
