  The Scarab Gun
December 16, 2004 1:32:39 AM    View the profile of Phoenix 
For those that care...there is a secret weapon in Halo 2 which has been dubbed the "scarab gun" by fans. Virius first showed me the video of the gun, and I set out on a mission to obtain in.

After 2 and half hours of leading banshees down tunnels and dealing with stubburn AI... I finally did it.

I am in the process of uploading the videos I took to my student webspace. I'll put links here for anyone that wants to see it.

Oh that gun looks fun. I'll have to tell my friend Dave about that thing, see if he's found it yet.

Yeah it is but if you do it on Heroic or Legendary the AI is a lot smarter and they will follow you better.

I would think that it would be hard to even keep it alive, if there are any enemies. i dont have Halo 2, but from my friends, i heard that its almost imposible to beat the game in legendary.

depends on if you do co-op or single player.

It took me longer to do it co-op, because my lame-o friend kept dying. >.<

Anyway, I did it again today, just because I love playing with it. This time it only took me 20 mins, i pretty much can predict the AI of the banshee now, so its quick.

*TIP* Its easy to get the banshee up the tunnel if you blow its wings off with the battle rifle

A tip for anyone is so you don't have to get it over and over to show your friends or something. You can just make a profile with the name Scarab Gun, just get the gun then save it at a checkpoint. Just remember when you play not to save and quit or end the level. Otherwise it is fun bringing it onto the scarab and blasting the crap out of all the covies.

I havent tried doing it single player, I've always use dos spartans, one to keep an eye on the banshee (it will disappear if you leave it alone too long) and the other to clear out  the tunnel...

On top of a very tall bridge, you have to use a banshee to get there. It is a very complicated process. To find a guide to get it just google Halo 2 Scarab Gun or something like that and you should find a guide.
