i heard this was possible, but apparantly it's not.

on Two Betrayals, coming down from the control room i jumped over the wall and ran to the wraith, keeping the tree between us for as long as possible. if you go right up to the wraith you can swing behind it and basically stay there as long as you want.

so i started smashing at it with my shotgun butt. it moves the wraith back a bit so you have to stay close or it takes a shot at you. i got as high as 780 melee hits before it was back far enough that the elites started shooting at me.

it takes me 10 point blank shot gun blasts to kill a wraith on legendary, so if 780 melees wasn't going to make it happen i guess no amount can.

is it possible to melee a wraith out at lower difficulty settings?

i dont think so but i know u can do it to the sentinals.

bah

Your subject cracked me up.

You can't melee a vehicle to death. You can melee them over clifs though. That effectively kills the driver.

yeah, but you know, some things you just have to try for yourself.

now when kids run up to me on the street and ask me if it's possible to melee a wraith to death on legendary, i can tell them, "no," not b/c i heard about it, but b/c i PROVED it.

gods be praised.

i paused it a couple of times to do other things (get a soda, check my email - you know, important stuff). i wanted to give it a try and once i was at about 100 i thought, why not see this thing thru? i planned to stop at 1,000 or so, but didn’t get that far.

the cool thing about hiding behind that wrath is you can use it for cover while you fight all the covies. and most of their return fire will hit the wraith. you can even duck down and shoot things from below the sucker. but if the wraith twitches against you even just a little bit, you’re done for.

  • 05.28.2004 9:35 AM PDT

Everyone knows it takes 781 hits with a shotgun to kill a wraith, common sense

i've tried that crap too.......i only got up to about 200 before my hands hurt and i got ran over......i also tried the same thing on the flood....but i got up to 25 before there were to many to continue......anyone know how long it takes to drop one of them?

lol at vcxtrenton.
I've tried this before. I think it's fun as hell on AotCR to get the first banshee and start bumping into the Wraith above the cave. (where the floating tree is)
I tried meleeing them before, but I got bored, so I used a plasma pistol to blow it to pieces

spin around the flood to his back or side sort of and it only takes about 6 or 7 hits on legendary. if you hit somthing in the back it takes way less time. I've tried to melee a ghost, i only hit it once though.

I wouldn't have even thought about doing that.

Think about it. In real life, if you came face to face with a tank would you hit it or shoot it with a rocket? I know what I'd do anyway ;D

Fair play to you for trying though.

Yes, you can drive a wraith, but it requires mods or game-saves that were created with mods.

Have you ever tried shooting an empty wraith?

After a while, it will explode!

A warthog and shade for single player is made so the bipeds(MC and marines) recieve damage instead of the vehicle. A banshee is made so the banshee only takes damage, when a biped(MC, elite) is inside it. A wratih is made to take damage instead of the driver. The explosion from the wraith is the cause of the drivers death.
