The Shard Walker is a variant of the Gun Walker available to Reaper-17. It is a mutation of the Gun Walker caused by excessive Tiberium infusion. As a result of this mutation, this Walker is faster and stronger. In lieu of an energy weapon, the Shard Walker fires Tiberium shards at high speeds. These shards are stronger than the energy weapon, and the weapon itself is capable of being upgraded to Blue shards. It can also make use of energy shields to increase its durability. Multiple Shard Walkers with the blue shards upgrade can cut down legions of infantry and aircraft with horrendous efficiency. Conversely, large concentrations of Zone Troopers or Raider Squads are fatal to ShardWalkers, able to inflict comparable casualties in mere seconds.
