| '''Knight Lancers''' (also known as '''Knight Rangers''') are a class of the [[Promethean Knight]] constructs created by the [[Ur-Didact]] toward the end of the [[Forerunner-Flood war]]. They were encountered by the [[UNSC]] on the [[shield world]] [[Requiem]] in the year [[2557]].<ref>[http://halo.xbox.com/en-US/Universe/detail/halo-4-promethean-gallery/afd5a210-a562-49b9-8255-a6a741e5b89c#imageNumber=5 '''Halo Waypoint''' - ''Halo 4: Promethean Gallery'']</ref> | | '''Knight Lancers''' are a class of the [[Promethean Knight]]s encountered by the [[UNSC]] on the [[shield world]] [[Requiem]] in late [[2557]].<ref>[http://halo.xbox.com/en-US/Universe/detail/halo-4-promethean-gallery/afd5a210-a562-49b9-8255-a6a741e5b89c#imageNumber=5 '''Halo Waypoint''': ''Halo 4: Promethean Gallery'']</ref> |

| Lancers are explicitly designed to secure elevated positions from which they can survey the battlefield, unleashing accurate and lethal fire from massive ranges.{{Ref/Reuse|H4EVG}} As such, they are primarily used as scouts and marksmen, and are extremely accurate from great distances. Lancers are known for using [[Z-5080 Promethean vision|Promethean vision]] to track targets, even if they are behind solid objects<ref name="gi">'''GameInformer''', ''October 2012 edition'' (digital content)</ref> as well as using the autosentry to provide covering fire. Lancers utilize a wide range of Promethean weaponry, including [[Z-250 lightrifle|LightRifles]], [[Z-750 binary rifle|Binary Rifles]], [[Z-130 Suppressor|Suppressors]], and [[Z-180 Scattershot|Scattershot]]s, as their ranged armament. | | Lancers are primarily used as scouts and marksmen, as well being extremely accurate from great distances.

| Despite being designed with range in mind, they are still capable of engaging in close-quarters combat.{{Ref/Reuse|H4EVG}}
| | Lancers are capable of [[Slipspace translocation|teleporting]] over short distances; this ability allows them to enter the battlefield via teleportation or to quickly retreat during battle. Lancers are also capable of charging at their opponents in a zigzagging motion at an incredible speed. This enables them to make use of the [[Z-180 Close Combat Rifle|Scattershot]]'s effectiveness in close quarters.<ref>[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Omxyh9Ti9Yw& '''YouTube''': ''NEW!

| In addition to the short-range [[Slipspace translocation|teleportation]] capability possessed by all Promethean Knight types, Lancers are capable of charging at their opponents in a zigzagging motion at an incredible speed.

| Lancers distinguish themselves visually from regular knights by the addition of five fins on their carapace. They are transverse sensor arrays which provide remote sensory data. Their hardlight blades also differ as they are elongated and end in a hook.{{Ref/Reuse|H4EVG}}
